Frequently Asked Questions.
How do you approach recruitment for life science consulting firms?
Barrington James has a dedicated unit of specialist recruiters focused solely on life sciences consulting. The team understands the commercial and technical profile these firms need, building searches around finding candidates who can genuinely move the needle for the business.
Which consulting disciplines do you specialise in?
Barrington James focuses on Health Economics, Outcomes Research, and Real World Evidence, alongside broader strategy, regulatory, and operational consulting roles across the life sciences sector.
How do you reach consultants who are not actively looking for a new role?

Yes. Barrington James has experience running search campaigns for clients who need the right hires in place ahead of a planned acquisition or sale, ensuring the team reflects the value and capability the business represents.
