Testimonials

John and Ellie have helped us fill some crucial roles at our company, including our CFO and our Clinical Science leads. We find ourselves going back to them time and again for head of function searches because they are such a pleasure to work with. Their dedication, frequent communication, and attention to detail makes us feel that we are a top priority and that our needs are understood throughout the search process. What I really appreciate about Partnology is that they stay connected with the company long after they’ve placed candidates to ensure that both the candidate and the company are the right fit and thriving. I know if I have any issues, big or small, I can always pick up the phone and call them and they’ll find a solution.

As a biotech CEO, precision, speed, and domain expertise are absolutely non-negotiable—especially when it comes to building the right leadership team.

What set Partnology apart was their hustle, seamless collaboration and deep understanding of our team’s dynamics. Their well-honed methodology and network in the biotech sector made the search process remarkably efficient, cutting through complexity to present only the best candidates.

This combination of speed, precision, and strategic insight makes Partnology my first choice for future leadership hires. I recommend them unequivocally to any biotech firm seeking to secure exceptional leaders quickly and confidently

Having worked with numerous firms that seem to chase a quick deal over genuine partnership, I can confidently say Partnology is different. They genuinely care about the people side of the business, prioritizing long-term success over short-term wins. From my personal experience, Partnology spends a great deal of time understanding the company and hiring team from every angle—and they invest the same level of care in getting to know candidates. This approach ensures not only a skills match but also a lasting cultural fit. Even after the placement, their ongoing support for both candidate and company proves that, with Partnology, it’s about building real, enduring relationships rather than just closing transactions. As a Bonus they’re always a pleasure to work with.

Partnology values transparency and radical honesty, turning thorough and candid discussions into creative, actionable solutions. This, along with their no-stone-unturned approach to leadership team building, makes them a true standout in the space. They are exceptionally well-suited for early-stage companies seeking guidance and a genuine partnership. I value firms that are honest and can make our portfolio companies successful. Partnology delivers on both fronts, and therefore, they get my highest recommendation.
