Securing a Head of HEOR for an emerging company in under 2 weeks 

A global Market Access and HEOR consultancy approached us with an ambitious goal: double their health economics headcount within a year to keep up with growing client demand. 

However, as a boutique firm with a modest market footprint, they were struggling to attract the calibre of talent needed to lead their growth.  

Key stats 

• 1 Head of Health Economics placed within 2 weeks 
• Talent secured despite a highly competitive and candidate-short market 
• Ongoing partnership now spans the wider health group 

The solution 

We began by meeting closely with the client’s leadership to refine the hiring brief, not just for technical expertise, but for cultural alignment and long-term potential. 

Once we had a clear profile, our specialist consultants tapped into our international life sciences talent network, quickly identifying individuals who not only met the brief on paper but also showed the leadership qualities essential for the Head of HEOR role. 

Thanks to our established relationships and consultative approach, we were able to engage high-value candidates, many of whom weren’t actively looking and represent the client’s vision with credibility and impact. 

Within two weeks, we’d facilitated the full interview process and secured the hire. 

The result 

The newly appointed Head of Health Economics and Outcomes Research marked a critical step in the client’s growth journey and opened the door to a wider strategic partnership. 

Since then, we’ve become a trusted recruitment advisor across their parent health group. From salary benchmarking to regular hiring strategy calls, we’ve helped align their recruitment efforts with their scaling goals.
