Talent Partner

Who we are…

Here at Lead Candidate we are committed to supporting developing companies in the pharmaceutical and biotech outsourcing space. We use our expertise to serve businesses by finding the people that will make their growth targets a reality. We work as an embedded talent partner to a select number of companies at any one time, allowing us to devote our time to provide an excellent experience.

Five years ago, Lead Candidate was just an idea. Today, we're an established and growing business and as we've reached our 5-year milestone, we're looking for an ambitious person to join us on the journey ahead.

You'll find a collaborative team, a surprisingly impressive indoor jungle and a snack cupboard that's rarely empty.

What we do…

Our Talent Partners provide an incredible service to our customers, ensuring they receive a consistent, quality experience. Day to day your role will vary based on the nature of live projects, and could include any of the following:

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.

Our Talent Partners will have a background in the key elements of the hiring process. We'll welcome applications from both agency and in-house recruiters, but we're also keen to speak with ambitious individuals from sales, customer service, or other relationship-driven backgrounds who are looking to build a successful career in recruitment. Above all, we value character, enthusiasm, resilience, and a genuine desire to make an impact.

We operate exclusively in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology outsourcing space, but that doesn't mean you need prior industry experience. We work with businesses that are helping to improve the lives of patients around the world. If you're passionate about building relationships, making a difference, and being part of a growing business, we'd love to hear from you.
