About Us
Established in 1986, Marcus & Associates is a leading search firm that specializes in the recruitment of scientific, clinical, technical and commercial talent for our clients in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries. It is our values, our commitment to client service, our proven methodical process and our strong relationships with industry leaders that really drives our success.
As a boutique firm for over 25 years, we provide the same level of search/recruitment expertise as traditional retained firms, but we offer a much higher degree of specialization. Marcus & Associates is organized as an integrated team, including specialists in the key functional areas mirroring the organizational structure of pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies. Our consultants have “expertise” within each of these functional areas of responsibility, which gives us the knowledge and flexibility to respond to our clients needs in an efficient and effective manner. Our in-depth understanding of leadership competencies as well as our in-depth knowledge of the industry and each client enables us to identify individuals who possess the right leadership skills and role-specific expertise.
We adhere to a rigorous and efficient search and assessment process, ensuring a consistently high level of service from every Marcus & Associates consultant. We pride ourselves on our ability to exceed our clients' expectations and deliver unique benefits that our clients enjoy. Marcus & Associates is prepared to dedicate resources and prioritize our recruitment efforts to meet "urgent" timing, "hard to find" candidates, "tight requirements", "complete confidentiality" or other specific needs of our clients.
We have a successful track record working with a select group of elite, emerging clients and world leading clients, which share our belief that an organization's most important resource is its employees. Our clients' satisfaction is demonstrated by their loyalty - many of our clients have partnered with us for over 20 years (see client testimonials). Our select client base translates to a larger pool of prospective talent available to each client on every search. A smaller client base also means that each client's business means a lot more to us than it does to large, traditional retained firms. In turn, we offer a much higher level of personalized service and dedicate resources to ensure success on every assignment. Our personalized and customized service is also demonstrated by our flexible pricing options that are much more cost-effective than those offered by traditional retained firms.
Marcus & Associates is always on the leading edge of recruitment trends, including our state-of-the-art relationship management tools, application of social networking technology, proprietary relational database of over 300,000 industry professionals, etc., providing immediate access and around-the-clock contact with clients, candidates and networks worldwide. For example, we own and manage the largest professional ("social") networking groups on LinkedIn dedicated to specialty areas within the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries.
