Empowering global expansion for a data science innovator in healthcare 

As a pioneering data analytics company prepared to take its AI-driven healthcare platform global, they needed more than recruitment — they needed strategic insight. R&D Partners stepped in to help them scale with precision. 

Key stats 

• Strategic hiring support across UK and US markets 
• Salary benchmarking and compensation analysis delivered 
• VP-level hiring strategy developed for global expansion 

The situation 

An innovative data science company, combining AI, behavioural science, and data analytics to transform healthcare, was entering a critical growth phase. After a successful first year of commercial operations and pharma partnerships, they were ready to expand globally, with a focus on Clinical Trial Recruitment. 

To do so, they needed to build teams in new geographies but lacked the market knowledge and employer branding strategy to attract the right talent. 

The solution 

We began by consulting with the Founder and C-suite to understand their goals and concerns. Two key needs emerged: 

• Employer value proposition development for new markets 
• Market insight into recruitment trends, salary expectations, and hiring culture across geographies 

Leveraging our specialist teams in the UK and both coasts of the US, we provided tailored reports on salary benchmarking, benefits, and candidate expectations. We also advised on strategic locations for team expansion and how to position the company to attract top talent, especially in markets where their brand was not yet known. 

In parallel, we supported their search for senior leadership, helping define a hiring strategy for VP-level roles and guiding how to present these opportunities to high-calibre candidates. 

The result 

With accurate market intelligence and a refined hiring strategy, the company made impactful hires that aligned with their growth plans, without overspending. The savings were reinvested into product innovation and delivery. 

R&D Partners continues to support their expansion, providing recruitment solutions, market updates, and strategic advice across multiple geographies.
