Solving a critical need for Computational Chemists.
A leading biotech company based in Paris approached us with a critical need to fill four roles for Computational Chemists and Cheminformaticians.
The client required candidates with expertise in AI-driven small molecule drug discovery, specifically focusing on generative and retrosynthesis AI.
The positions needed to be filled within a tight timeframe of under three months to support their rapid drug discovery initiatives.
About our client
Within the stipulated timeframe of under three months, we successfully placed four highly qualified Computational Chemists and Cheminformaticians. The client is a pioneering biotech firm at the forefront of drug discovery innovation.
They integrate AI and robotics to streamline the drug development process, significantly reducing the time required to bring new treatments to market.
Their core technologies include AI driven molecule design, synthesis, and robotic automation, which are essential for their mission to advance global health.
Recently, the firm raised €15.5 million in a Series A financing round co-led by two investment firms, with participation from another capital firm.
The challenge
The primary challenge was to identify and recruit candidates with the right technical skills and experience in small-molecule drug discovery. The roles required a deep understanding of computational chemistry, cheminformatics, and the application of AI in drug design and synthesis.
Additionally, the candidates needed to be based in Paris, adding a geographical constraint to the recruitment process.
Our approach
Aspire Life Sciences leveraged its extensive network and expertise in the life sciences industry to conduct a targeted search for the ideal candidate.
By understanding the company’s unique requirements and company culture, we tailored our search to identify candidates who met the technical criteria and also resonated with the company’s values and vision.
Our team meticulously screened potential candidates, evaluating not only their technical competencies but also their cultural fit and team compatibility.
Focused on candidates willing to relocate to Paris or already based in the region to meet the client’s location requirement.
The outcome
This successful recruitment effort enabled the client to continue their innovative work in drug discovery without delay, supporting their mission to bring new treatments to patients more efficiently. The selected candidates brought a diverse range of experiences and backgrounds, enhancing the client’s team with a dynamic and comprehensive skill set in AI-driven small molecule drug discovery.
