About Us

Marcus & Associates was founded in 1986 by Al Marcus, a former pharma/biotech leader. After working with dozens of search firms to fill highly specialized clinical and scientific positions throughout his career, he was frustrated by the subpar vetting, lack of relevant industry knowledge, and overall poor services received. His passion for hiring top talent inspired him to develop an Executive Search firm capable of adding real value to the recruiting and hiring process, specifically in the Healthcare & Life Sciences arena. He used his first-hand industry experience to develop a team of experts within each unique functional practice area, and over time, this foundation has continued to support, cultivate, and enhance our firms ability to produce exceptional results. Today, the team has expanded to include offices in the United States as well as Asia, but the vision remains the same- making a difference in the lives of people all over the world by connecting talented professionals with innovative companies and once in a life time opportunities.

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 that translates into greater satisfaction for our clients. We devote significantly more resources and attention to each assignment and are committed to filling each position with the best candidate. We are always engaged, providing highly responsive and open lines of communication for clients and candidates to ensure the most productive and satisfying service possible. We follow through with every candidate on every search, and everyone is treated with the utmost respect and professionalism– no matter how long we are engaged on a project.
