About Marcus & Associates

Founded in 1986, Marcus & Associates® is a leading global executive search firm in Life Sciences and health care, specializing in the recruitment of world-class scientific, clinical, technical, commercial and corporate talent to give our clients a competitive advantage in building exceptional leadership teams. Our clients believe that achieving the best results begins with recruiting the right people.

For over 30 years we have been developing lasting relationships and advising a vast network of KOLs, C-Level Leadership, thought leaders, industry-leading scientists and clinicians. One of our greatest assets are the thousands of leaders we have successfully recruited and placed around the globe. Affectionately known as FOMs (Friends of Marcus), these professionals are our closest allies and our greatest source for identifying and accessing passive talent, including mission-critical leaders, fast-track rising stars, functional experts and drivers of excellence in science and technology.

What Makes Us Different

Although we have many years of experience and a superior track record of success, we choose to remain boutique in size, which is a key point of differentiation with respect to our traditional retained competitors. Our size augments our flexible yet thorough approach, including a customizable, methodical search process, which translates into greater satisfaction for our clients. We devote significantly more resources and attention to each assignment and are committed to filling each position. We are always engaged, providing highly responsive and open lines of communication with both our clients and candidates to ensure the most productive and satisfying service possible. We follow through on every search and with every candidate – no matter how long we stay engaged with a candidate. Everyone is treated with the utmost respect and professionalism.
