Alioth helps you assess potential leadership hires for cultural fit.

Executive Search

And our proprietary Hiring Success Platform, helps you hire the right people by using data and providing you with insights about your talent acquisition process.

That includes access to the same executive search consultants, the same high-touch search process, and the same technology platform.

Our Focus

We partner with biotechnology, pharmaceutical, medical device, diagnostics, and agtech companies of all stages.

Our Functional Areas

In addition to their proven track records as executive recruiters, our consultants have held internal leadership roles. They’ve been in your shoes and understand how to build teams in highly technical and regulated environments and across all functional areas, including:

Our Mission: Align Talent with Culture

Too often culture is often an afterthought in talent acquisition, when it should be at the forefront.

Candidates can look great on paper, but unless their values, nuanced experience, and working styles complement those of your organization, they can be quick to depart, costing your company severely. In fact, over two-thirds of new hire failures at the senior leadership levels are the result of a lack of culture fit.

That’s why we take time to understand not only the needs and requirements for each role, but also the cultural texture of your organization.

And we do that by combining the art and science of executive search.

The Art

Each of our executive search consultants draws on over 20 years of experience in the life sciences and technology industries. They have seen how the best companies transform industries and enrich lives, and they want to help you do the same.

The Science

You wouldn’t conduct an important experiment without structure and data to support your process. The same should be true of your searches. 

That’s why we built our Hiring Success Platform. Our diagnostic solutions use proprietary methodology and analytics to shape your search strategy and optimize each stage of the talent acquisition lifecycle, ensuring a streamlined process, a better candidate experience, and improved hiring outcomes.
