There are Good Candidates, Great Candidates
and Higgins Candidates

When you are a Higgins Group client you know we target the best, not the available. We know and understand R&D executives, as well as their therapeutic focus, their priorities and their challenges. We look well beyond the resume to truly understand the person behind it and ensure that we know who it is we are bringing to our client.

Consistently delivering exceptional candidates is no accident. Our thorough process for recruiting exceptional candidates, our broad industry experience and relentless drive for the best fit translate into stronger candidates and ultimately make your company more successful.

When you are a Higgins Group Client you will receive the following:

• While we have done hundreds of searches, no two are the same. We meet with all key members in your organization to gain a crystal clear understanding of your position, company culture and any unique issues. Understanding the nuances of your search is critical in identifying what attributes will lead to success in your organization. From these meetings we build a position description that provides a framework to guide the search process.
• We develop and execute an internal search strategy that will be tailored uniquely to your search. Our network of trusted colleagues, built from years of cultivating relationships with senior talent, gives us incredible reach. Our database includes many thousands of detailed profiles on the world's top R&D talent.
• We source the universe, meeting personally with candidates to gain a detailed understanding of their skill set, background, personal style and key accomplishments. We listen first. We listen second. We see what is not obvious.
• We keep you closely apprised throughout the search with written updates, competitive intelligence and thorough candidate evaluations. We perform extensive reference checks, including blind referencing. We listen for themes of what we can hear and more importantly what we don't hear.
• We coordinate negotiations to facilitate both client and candidate needs. We work to maintain clear communications identifying salary, bonus, benefit, relocation and other family issues very early in the search process. Our goal is no surprises.
• Our work doesn't end when your search closes. We provide ongoing counsel to both clients and candidates to assist with successful on-boarding and retention as needs evolve. At the Higgins Group we build long-term partnerships.
