The Bandish Group Wins Global 100 Award for Best Biotech & Pharma Executive Search Firm 2025

Three Decades of Precision Recruiting in Life Sciences Earns Prestigious Recognition

In a world where innovation is everything, the success of any biotech or pharmaceutical company hinges on one critical factor—talent. The Bandish Group, recently named Best Biotech & Pharma Executive Search Firm 2025 by Global 100, understands that better than most. For 29 years, this boutique executive search firm has played a behind-the-scenes role in some of the life sciences industry’s most transformative breakthroughs—by helping companies build exceptional teams.

This award isn’t just a milestone. It’s a recognition of values, strategy, and execution done right.

Built on Values. Driven by Results.

At the core of The Bandish Group’s success is a principal rarely seen in the high-stakes world of executive search: The Platinum Rule—treat others the way they want to be treated.

This commitment to respectful, ethical, and transparent communication has shaped every interaction the firm has had with both clients and candidates. It’s also created an ecosystem of trust, where companies return time and time again, and candidates feel genuinely supported in advancing their careers.

But values alone don’t win awards. Results do.

With a 25-day average turnaround from intake to interview, The Bandish Group consistently outpaces industry benchmarks—without compromising on quality. Their refined intake process, honed over nearly three decades, gets to the root of what companies truly need, not just what the job description says.

Hybrid Model. High Value.

One of The Bandish Group’s competitive edges lies in its exclusive hybrid recruiting model—a cost-effective alternative to traditional retained search. Clients receive the full benefit of premium executive search services, with a proven 44% cost savings compared to standard models.

The message is clear: you don’t have to pay more to find the best fit.

The firm partners closely with clients to function as an extension of their HR and marketing teams. From salary benchmarking and market insight to talent mapping and cultural alignment, The Bandish Group delivers a 360-degree recruitment experience.

They’re not fishing from a different pond—they’re just better at finding the right fit inside it.

A Proven Track Record Across Life Sciences

From Biotech and Pharma to MedTech, Digital Health, Diagnostics, and even AI-driven healthcare, The Bandish Group brings niche-level expertise across every sector of life sciences. And they’ve got the receipts to back it up.

• Epogen, Neupogen, Humira, Abilify, Prolia, Cologuard, Lynparza—the firm has supported commercial teams involved in the launch of all these global medical products.
• During COVID, Rockley Photonics called on The Bandish Group to build their R&D and commercial teams—because of their life sciences expertise.
• For AES, a leading name in life sciences construction, they placed senior leadership including the COO, VP of Innovation, VP of Manufacturing and VP of Construction, among others—helping leadership build their teams through strategic hiring.
• Their international reach includes building U.S. operations for companies from India, China, Korea, and the UK, guiding everything from CEO placements to complete team structures.

Their 96.6% placement retention rate over the past three years speaks volumes: The Bandish Group doesn’t just fill roles—they build sustainable leadership pipelines.

Specialization Over Generalization

Unlike larger, generalized search firms, The Bandish Group is laser-focused on life sciences. That specialization gives them a deeper understanding of the regulatory, technical, and strategic nuances of each hire.

And it’s not just about filling executive seats. Their three-touchpoint approach ensures every search is personalized:

1. Client-Centric Strategy – Aligning talent with culture, vision, and business objectives.
2. Industry Expertise – Leveraging market insights, salary data, and hiring trends.
3. Candidate Experience – Taking time to personally connect, guide, and support talent at every stage.

As a result, the firm has built an expansive proprietary database of vetted, pre-screened candidates—giving clients access to top-tier talent, fast.

Navigating the Future of Life Sciences

The Bandish Group isn’t just riding the wave of industry change—they’re steering it.

They continue to expand into AI-driven healthcare, MedTech, Nutraceuticals, and Life Sciences Construction, positioning themselves at the cutting edge of emerging trends. And while technology evolves, their people-first, boutique approach stays constant.

Founder Jackie Bandish puts it plainly:

“We don’t find candidates jobs—we help people build meaningful careers. We help companies build legacy teams.”

With an average team tenure of 17 years, internal retention and continuity have become a powerful advantage. That experience translates to consistent delivery, deep networks, and long-term trust across the sector.

What’s Next for The Bandish Group?

As they look ahead, The Bandish Group remains committed to:

• Prioritizing quality over quantity in every search.
• Expanding in global markets while maintaining boutique personalization.
• Investing in continuous learning to stay ahead of industry and technological shifts.

Their goal is simple yet powerful: Be the most trusted and respected recruitment partner in life sciences.
