About The Agency


Identifying leaders and building teams committed to making a difference

Since 1986, The Agency Worldwide has built relationships and forged strategic alliances with the leading organizations and with exceptional individuals working to find cures and solve the challenges facing world health. With unrivaled perception and passion, The Agency is committed to connecting the people who are driven to further the progress of science, to create innovative solutions, and to improve patient care on a global scale.

The Agency’s exclusive specialization in the biopharmaceutical and health science fields offers clients and candidates a distinct advantage to connecting the greatest minds in the life sciences community around the world. Over the decades, The Agency has successfully placed hundreds of the most talented experts at Fortune 500 companies, as well as in start-up organizations focused on cultivating innovation and patient access.

The Agency Worldwide provides expert consulting services in recruitment and retention, market intelligence, external organizational benchmarking, talent integration and internal talent assessment analysis. Our exclusive and longstanding strategic partnerships across the life sciences community enable The Agency to deeply comprehend the driving factors that contribute to our partners’ thriving organizations.

Only The Agency delivers a uniquely effective combination of strengths:

  • Adept specialists at finding “passive” candidates: Understanding that the best candidates may not be actively looking for a new opportunity, The Agency has developed an effective, proprietary, “passive” candidate mining process that includes qualification identification, personality assessment, and a far-reaching network that connects people who can make a significant impact.
  • Broad, deep knowledge of the industries served: the companies, the people, the opportunities. Few firms can match The Agency’s proven track record, enduring client partnerships, and quantity and quality of industry, academic and government contacts.
  • A dedicated and diverse international team: speaking 10 languages – 11 counting the language of “science.”
  • Global reach: working across five continents with select clients throughout the United States, Europe and Asia Pacific.
  • Resources above and beyond: In-house consulting and market analysis team focused on delivering differentiated strategies and additional capabilities for clients in the areas of market intelligence, talent assessment and integration, and custom research projects. The Agency’s expert staff also includes a dedicated director of science and head of diversity sourcing.
  • Integrity:  Steadfastly guided by principle, our sole purpose is to support our clients’ long-term success. The Agency listens, evaluates and delivers only the most honest and accurate information possible. Dedicated to being professional partners for life, we consistently bring the most strategic, appropriate information and knowledge to our work. We have built our reputation on a sharply focused ethos of honesty and value, along with our keen devotion to helping our clients achieve their mission.
  • Commitment to the human side of business: The Agency possesses excellent listening skills, candor in assessing opportunities and candidates thoroughly and accurately, an ability to nurture candidates and address expectations, and compassion to the challenges candidates and families face with relocation and change.
  • Integral partners: The Agency operates as an extension of our clients – it’s not the first placement that’s most important, but rather the success in building impactful teams for organizations over the years
