Pharmaceutical Recruiting Firm

The Perillo Group is a pharmaceutical recruiting firm serving pharmaceutical, biotech, and life sciences companies across the country. We run direct hire searches from our base in the Philadelphia area, in the middle of one of the densest life sciences corridors in the nation. Life sciences hiring runs on credentials, timelines, and confidentiality: a regulatory or quality hire often cannot be posted publicly at all, and the strongest candidates are employed at competitors, not on job boards.

Pharmaceutical and Biotech Roles We Fill

We recruit for established pharmaceutical companies, growing biotech firms, and the service companies that support them.

How a Life Sciences Search With Us Works

Life sciences searches fail when they are run like generalist searches: public postings for roles that require discretion, and briefs that treat a credential as the whole story. We run it the other way.

  1. The brief comes first. The credential and experience requirements that are genuinely required, the site and team this person joins, and the timeline the business is actually on.
  2. A short list, not a long one. A small number of professionals whose backgrounds match, approached directly and discreetly, with an honest read on each.
  3. Feedback in days, not weeks. Senior life sciences talent in this corridor has options at firms up and down the same highways. A process that moves keeps them in it.
  4. An offer that lands. We test compensation against the current market in week one, including the premiums specialized quality and regulatory professionals command.

Terms That Remove the Risk

Every search we run is direct hire. There are no upfront fees, and every placement carries a 90 day replacement guarantee. If the person does not work out in the first 90 days, we run the search again.

National Reach

We recruit nationally for life sciences companies, with deep roots in the Pennsylvania and New Jersey corridor. In a concentrated, reputation driven industry, discretion is the recruiting tool that matters, and we protect it.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does it cost to use a pharmaceutical recruiting firm?

Nothing upfront. We work on a direct hire basis: you pay a fee only when your hire starts, agreed in writing before the search begins. If we do not fill the role, you do not pay for the search.

Can you run a confidential search?

Yes, and in life sciences many searches have to be. A regulatory or quality hire often cannot be posted publicly, and we approach employed candidates at other companies discreetly, without naming your company until the right stage.

What roles do you recruit in pharma and biotech?

Quality, regulatory, clinical, and commercial roles across pharmaceutical, biotech, and life sciences companies, from specialists through leadership.

How fast can you fill a life sciences role?

Most clients see their first qualified candidates within days of the brief. Credential heavy and leadership roles take longer, and we will give you a straight read on the market at the start.

What if the hire does not work out?

Every placement carries a 90 day replacement guarantee. If the hire leaves or is let go within the first 90 days, we run the replacement search at no additional fee.

Do you recruit outside your home area?

Yes. We recruit nationally for life sciences companies, with deep roots in the Pennsylvania and New Jersey corridor.
