The hires that decide your next two years.
Retained and contingency search for the leaders and hard-to-fill specialists who change what a team can do. Engineering, product, security, infrastructure and go-to-market leaders in tech. Project managers, superintendents, MEP and CQV leads on pharma and biotech builds.
When the seat is too important to leave to the inbound pile.
Some roles you can post and wait on. These aren't those roles. A first VP of Engineering, a founding designer, a security lead who has done it before, a Superintendent who has run a GMP fit-out: these hires set the ceiling for everyone who comes after them. We run a real search, calibrate with your leaders, and go find the people who aren't looking.
- VP and executive leadership across the org.
- Hard-to-fill senior individual contributors.
- Roles where a bad hire costs you a year.
- Confidential and backfill searches.
Tech
For startups and scaling tech teams, we search for the leaders and senior ICs who shape how the product gets built and sold. We know the difference between someone who has scaled a platform and someone who has only maintained one.
- Engineering leadership and senior engineers.
- Product and design.
- Security and infrastructure.
- Go-to-market: sales, marketing, and customer success.
Life Sciences Construction
For general contractors, MEP and specialty contractors, owner's reps and engineering firms. We search for people who have delivered GMP work: cleanrooms, fill-finish lines and process suites, carried through commissioning and qualification, on the owner side or the GC side. Most of our searches are in NJ, NY, PA, CT and DE, plus TX and OH.
- Life Sciences Project Managers and Superintendents.
- MEP Project Managers and Electrical PMs.
- CQV, commissioning, and validation engineers and leads.
- Process and validation engineers.
Calibration
We sit with the hiring manager and map the real role, the must-haves, and the tradeoffs. We define what good looks like before we source anyone, and we'll tell you if the role as written won't close.
Live screening
Every candidate we put forward has been screened live by a Satoriq recruiter. You get a written read on fit, motivation, comp expectations, and risk with every submission.
Close
We run the process to offer, keep candidates warm between rounds, and give you a straight read on what it takes to close. If the answer is money, we'll say so early.
You never pay to interview.
Contingency search is free until you hire. Retained search, for confidential and executive roles, takes a portion up front. Either way, every candidate is screened live before you meet them, and every placement carries a replacement guarantee.
