They take the time to understand our culture and needs, and consistently follow through. I'd recommend Spencer Rigby to any biotech or healthcare company looking for high-caliber candidates.
Nathan is a talented networker and connected me with great people in the global IVD industry. He is a skilled communicator, and has a brilliant understanding of compagny needs and market trends, therefore he can connect the best and right people for the right role at the right time!
After 4 long months of searching for the perfect candidate, Nathan contacted me with one he believed was right for our business and the position. Lateral flow diagnostics is a narrow field and Nathan is well connected in the industry. He invested significant time working with us and the candidate on contract details once both sides decided to move forward, and made sure both parties were updated in real time. I strongly recommend Nathan for your hiring needs.
Every talent acquisition manager should have a partner such as Nathan Rigby. He is a great listener and participates fully to secure talent for an open position. We collaborated with Nathan on a number of tough-to-fill roles, and he consistently secured top talent that met the job description. When he wasn't successful, he always rebounded with a great alternative. We greatly appreciate his willingness to be flexible, determined, and thorough.
Most recruiters close the placement. We stay until it works.
Understanding the real problem
Two conversations, not one
The placement isn't done at signing
Not faster. Not cheaper. Not more CVs in your inbox. Spencer Rigby was built on one belief, that the only placement worth making is one that actually works. For the company and for the person.
We take time to understand not just the skills needed but the environment someone is walking into. Culture, team dynamics, leadership style, these things matter as much as the CV.
If we think the brief needs challenging, we'll say so. If a candidate isn't right for your environment, we won't put them forward. We'd rather have that conversation early than the wrong person in seat.
Whether you're filling a single senior role or building out a whole function, the depth of assessment doesn't change. Every person we put forward has been through the same process.
Replacement guarantees well beyond the industry standard 30 days, up to twelve months on senior placements. The fee reflects the accountability. The cost of a bad hire is always higher.
Before you book
We'd rather answer them here than waste your time on a call.
We're recruitment and people specialists first. Our detailed approach to understanding both the client and the candidate means we can apply it effectively across any vertical. We have proven success translating our methodology into markets that were once new to us, and the results speak for themselves.
Most of the people we work with long-term said the same thing before they worked with us. The difference is in how we approach the brief and the candidate, we take more time, ask deeper questions, and we only put people forward we'd genuinely stand behind. We back that with a 12-month replacement guarantee on senior placements.
Yes, IVD is the market we live in. We've placed commercial leaders, built out QARA functions, and found technical and executive talent across the full diagnostics landscape. We know the companies, the people moving through the market, and what good looks like at every level.
We move as quickly as we responsibly can. What we won't do is send you someone just to hit a deadline. We'll always be upfront about what's realistic in the market and what the right profile actually looks like. A placement made in haste rarely holds, and that costs everyone more in the long run.
Yes. We've worked with organisations at every stage from pre-seed through to public. Early stage companies often need the most considered hires because every person has an outsized impact on the business. We understand that, and we work closely with founders and boards who know that getting the first leadership hires right is everything.
Decades of combined experience in life sciences and diagnostics recruitment. A methodology built on depth, not volume. And a track record of placements that actually hold.
