The Bandish Group

Approaching its 27th year in business, The Bandish Group LLC has emerged as one of the most respected and recognized Life Sciences Executive Search firms known for identifying and matching top talent in the industry. The Bandish Group conducts exclusive recruitment searches with a hybrid model of retained services that are efficient and cost-effective for clients. Headquartered in the Greater Philadelphia area, with regional offices in Ohio and Arizona, The Bandish Group specializes in executive searches specific to the Pharmaceutical, Biotech, Medical Diagnostics, Medical Device, CDMOs, Life Sciences Construction, Artificial Intelligence, and Digital Healthcare Industries.

The Bandish Group has broad capabilities that range from placing a single candidate within a company to staffing an entire division or building a department. The Bandish Group remains a trusted partner and advisor to both their clients and candidates. Even after the onboarding process, The Bandish Group team follows up within two weeks to ensure that the process remains as per their client and candidate’s expectations. They then guide them through their first year.

“We educate the client and the candidate on the industry and figure out tools and methods to not just attract talent, but also retain the talent they currently have,” says Jackie Bandish, Head of Life Sciences Recruiting & Operations at The Bandish Group.

With a professional yet personal touch, The Bandish Group team works collaboratively to find “the best fit, not just any fit” for both the organizations and the candidates. They provide their clients with a tailored recruiting approach specific to their client’s needs. The Bandish Group has an organic database of prescreened candidates built and maintained over the past 26 years, accelerating the search process without compromising quality.

The company deploys a 3-touch-point approach that involves meeting with client leadership and being both an extension of the client’s HR and Marketing Team. They represent their client by sharing their culture, leadership style, career growth and the company shared stories to passive candidates to educate them on the value of exploring a new career with their client. The final step includes scheduling a first-round introduction call, a first-round interview, and if chosen, the candidate moves on to the final interview process before being presented to the client.

The Bandish Group offers a suite of services, such as one Point of Contact (POC) for clients, candidate assessments, dedicated searches, research resources, and biweekly client feedback meetings to enable clients to make an assured choice for their company.

The firm’s recruiters bring over five decades of combined recruiting experience with an average tenure of 15 years at The Bandish Group. Their collaborative team approach combined with know-how about industry trends enables The Bandish Group to build long-standing partnerships with its clients and candidates and guide them through the recruiting process.

As a professional career counselor, each team member is committed to representing the best interests of both parties.
