What our clients say

I’ve worked with many other staffing services and BioTalent has been my favourite by far. They filled all roles across the US and Canada and delivered 
two major hiring projects, including 80+ people in just two months on one. We were able to ramp production and hit our customer outcomes ahead of schedule and under budget.

Chief HR Officer

I am very happy with the candidate that BioTalent secured and I'm grateful for their support. All has gone very well so far, and we are much more confident of securing our seed funding round.

CSO/Co-Founder

Melody helped us hire a VP-level role. She rapidly converged on the ideal profile, and the candidates were on target and high quality. Her communication was highly responsive and concise, making the process efficient and smooth. It was a pleasure working with Melody.

David He

VP R&D at Eight Sleep

Melody's expertise and professionalism were invaluable in finding the perfect fit for our company. She prioritised long-term success over short-term gains, ensuring alignment between our needs and the candidate's goals. Her dedication made the entire hiring process seamless. I highly recommend Melody for her skill, integrity, and ability to deliver outstanding results.

Director of Regulatory Affairs

BioX is exceptional! They took the time to understand our expectations and delivered an exceptional shortlist. I was impressed with the team's ability to triage individuals from multiple geographies that met the brief. BioX truly went above and beyond, resulting in an effortless and successful process.

Executive Director

My experience with Bria has been superior. I have worked with her both as a candidate seeking a new position, and as a manager looking to fill permanent roles in my department. In every interaction, she is professional, thoughtful, reliable, and incredibly knowledgeable.

Head of Medical Writing

BioTalent is a great recruitment partner. The US team has a vast network of local, specialised talent in Southern California and provided our team with the top candidates based on our needs. The process is dialled in, and we were able to fill a difficult opening in just a few weeks. It's easy to see how much the team care for the candidates and companies they work with! Thanks for your continued partnership!

Hiring Manager

Neuromodulation Medical Device Company

Melody has been an incredible partner. She provided strong candidates and was incredibly responsive whenever we needed to change course or move in a different direction. I would recommend working with Melody for any of your recruiting needs.

Jared Fukushima

Manager, Complaints Handling

I needed to hire a Senior Manager, and my company was having a difficult time finding qualified candidates. Melody quickly demonstrated her skills and expertise. She asked insightful questions to understand the position and what I was looking for in candidates, then quickly went to work getting me resumes. Her communication and sense of urgency were evident from the beginning, and gave me confidence that I was working with the right recruiter. In a short time, she found several worthy candidates and, ultimately, the person I hired for the role.

Melody was open to feedback, kept the communication channel open, and ensured I knew where the process stood at every step. Through her actions, she built the trust and confidence that the position would be filled with the right candidate, and on time. I highly recommend Melody for finding candidates, especially for senior or technical positions. It was a pleasure working with her.

Jose Moraza

Director of Quality Engineering at Hologic

I've had the pleasure of working with Melody over many years, both in hiring top-notch talent for my team and in my own job search. She's sharp, incredibly personable, and has an exceptional ability to match employers with the right candidates. Melody provided valuable market insights and a tailored approach that made the hiring process smooth and efficient. She is a rare find in the recruiting world, any med device company would be lucky to have her support!

R&D Director

Spinal Implants Company

BioTalent quickly helped us rebuild our clinical research team after a reduction in force, filling three key contract roles in just a few weeks. Their expertise, communication, and ability to provide quality candidates in record time made all the difference. We highly recommend BioTalent for their personal attention and seamless recruitment process.

Senior Director, Clinical Development Strategy & Operations

After unsuccessful internal efforts to fill a QC Supervisor role for a year and a QA Director role for seven months, I finally secured approval to use BioTalent for my recruiting needs — and it was well worth it. You were confident you could identify candidates and fill the roles in under three weeks, and you did. What's more, we had the QC Supervisor role filled in four days. I appreciated the time and effort you took with me, from the initial meeting to discuss what we were looking for in candidates, to your weekly progress meetings and quick follow-ups after each interview to understand what worked and what didn't.

Your pool of candidates was exceptional. You were spot on with the candidates you sent over for interviews, from qualifications to how well they matched what our team needed. I'd say you had a knack for this, but it's truly a gift.

I also appreciated your honest feedback on our salary expectations for the roles. The information you presented opened our organisation's eyes to the fact that filling the role with high-quality, high-potential people meant understanding their fair market value. Thank you for your patience. Working with BioTalent is easy and it alleviated a huge burden from me.

Senior Director, Regulatory Affairs

I had the pleasure of working with Sam both as a candidate during my own recruitment process and later as an interviewer when hiring new colleagues. From the outset, Sam represented the company with a positive, open and professional manner that stood out among the many recruiters I interacted with at the time. His approach played a significant role in shaping my early perception of the business, and was a key factor in making me feel confident about the opportunity.

Later, as part of the hiring team, I saw Sam's strengths from another angle. He made the recruitment process smooth for candidates and the internal team alike, ensuring communication stayed clear, expectations were aligned, and my time could be fully focused on the technical interviews. His coordination with both applicants and internal stakeholders was always thoughtful and efficient.

Sam combines professionalism, insight and a people-first approach to hiring — anyone would be lucky to have him lead their recruitment efforts

Senior Research Scientist

Bioptimus

Melody is fast, responsive and no-nonsense — exactly what you want in a recruiter. She helped Beta Bionics source a VP of Quality, and every candidate she brought was both highly qualified and a good communicator. Not once did she waste my time.

Stephen Feider

CFO at Beta Bionics

I have worked with Dan over a number of years while scaling my procurement team at Jazz Pharmaceuticals, and he has consistently been a pleasure to work with. First and foremost, Dan is a genuinely lovely guy and someone you can trust to do business with in the right way. He is highly inquisitive and always takes the time to fully understand role requirements and the characteristics needed for success, which means he regularly delivers the right profiles rather than simply forwarding CVs. 

Dan has also been extremely helpful when I’ve wanted a broader view of the market while planning my talent pipeline. He provides clear insight on candidate availability, realistic budget expectations, and emerging skill sets, which has been invaluable when shaping hiring decisions. Dan is a great recruiter to work with, and I would happily recommend him to anyone looking for a thoughtful, knowledgeable, and reliable recruitment partner.
