Life Sciences employers often need candidates with highly specialised scientific, technical and regulatory expertise. A specialist agency understands these requirements and can target professionals with relevant sector experience rather than relying solely on a broad candidate search. Hyper Recruitment Solutions, (HRS), combines Life Sciences expertise with recruitment technology and an established network of STEM professionals.

Whether you're scaling a biotechnology start-up, expanding pharmaceutical operations or recruiting for a business-critical leadership position, securing specialist talent can make all the difference.

Since 2012, we've supported businesses across the Life Sciences sector with tailored recruitment solutions, from individual permanent and contract appointments to executive search and large-scale hiring projects.

Our goal is simple: to help you build the teams that move your business forward.

"Well done Debra and HRS"
Being exceptionally busy and with an urgent need to recruit, by coincidence or divine intervention and I'm not sure which, I was approached by Debra Fong of HRS to see if there was need for any recruitment by my company and if so could HRS be of service. Without wanting to waste time after a short phone call with Debra I acquiesced but knowing the skills in the advanced technologies from the ideal senior candidate were as rare as hen's teeth I sat back and started thinking of the wording I was going to have to use in the 'Situations vacant' section of the relevant specialist trade journals. Imagine my surprise when a couple of days later I had two CVs in my hands, one from a good candidate for the job, the other being quite exceptional. The latter not only experienced in everything I thought important but also it was quite clear the candidate would benefit greatly from joining us. A remarkable win-win situation.

"Nothing is too much trouble and, even if it is, you never would know!"
I have worked with HRS for just over a year. Appreciate that the recruitment business is a very competitive market but have been extremely impressed leading up to and during my experience of doing business with the team. In particular, I acknowledge the commitment to personal service.

"Our first experience using HRS has been extremely successful"
Ben Hamlin has been exceptionally helpful, conscientious and passionate about finding the right employee to fill our vacancy. He is dedicated and reliable and always follows up on any commitments made. Ben has taken all the leg work out of sifting through hundreds of CVs and all the candidates who were interviewed had relevant experience and were suitable for the role. I would be happy to recommend HRS to anyone looking to recruit new staff, they really have been great!

"I look forward to reaping the rewards of the high standards that Ricky has proposed to me and developing a long-term relationship with all at HRS."
I have just recently used Hyper Recruitment Solutions, with Ricky Martin as our main account manager. So far the recruitment process has been up to my standards, he has picked up the understanding of our business very quickly, which makes recruiting so much easier on my part. Although this has been a very short-term business partnership so far.

"I highly recommend Ricky and the team at HRS. We have recently worked together to recruit our Director of Business Development and it's been the smoothest, fastest, and most simple recruitment at a senior level I've ever been involved in. We will definitely be using Ricky and the team again."

"Working with Ricky Martin and Hyper Recruitment Solutions was an outstanding experience, resulting in one of the best hiring decisions I have made in years."
Their professionalism was evident throughout, from the high-quality candidates and insightful executive summaries to the timely management of the entire process. The feedback sessions following interviews were particularly valuable, supporting informed decision-making. Ricky and the team exceeded my expectations and played a key role in our hiring success.

"As we grew and scaled, we knew we needed a Mass Spectrometry Scientist, but could not afford to provide a permanent contract until our Series A fund raise was achieved. HRS not only found us the perfect candidate, but also provided this candidate as a contractor, using a very easy to use contracting platform."
The HRS team supported us through lean and abundant times and always gave us fantastic candidates who fit the company brilliantly. These were not easy positions to fill, so a big thanks to HRS for the support!

"Working with Ricky Martin at HRS for my appointment as the VP of Manufacturing at TCR² Therapeutics, the company's first UK employee, was an exceptional experience. Ricky's deep understanding of the industry, combined with his genuine support throughout the process made all the difference."
He went beyond typical recruitment by offering tailored advice and insights, ensuring I was well-prepared for this pivotal role. Post-placement, Ricky continued to engage, showing his dedication to my ongoing success, especially with executive-level appointments. It has been a real pleasure working with Ricky over the years and getting to know him on a personal level and I highly recommend HRS for anyone seeking a recruitment partner who truly adds value.
