Cornerstone Search Group is dedicated to serving the life sciences industry. We are strategically organized to adapt and customize to each unique client, offering specialized solutions to meet your specific needs.
When choosing a search firm, life sciences organizations need to ask themselves: who’s actually doing the work, building the candidate relationships and representing us in the market?
At Cornerstone, it’s our Partners and Practice Leaders. Our five Partners have an average tenure of 18 years at Cornerstone. These same Partners are not only managing our client relationships, but they also are working hand-in-hand with the candidates, driving the process and successfully landing you the talent you desire.
When people ask what makes Cornerstone different, the answer is simple: it’s our team. We are a family of professionals. Our average tenure for all employees is over 12 years. This trust, familiarity, dedication and knowledge are in our DNA.
• Biotech: Cornerstone has spent decades firmly planting roots across all three biotech hubs in the US – Boston/Cambridge, California/Bay Area and NY/NJ/PA – while also partnering with other firms in smaller, more difficult geographies to attract talent. Biotech is first-in-class, ultra-competitive and difficult to differentiate. We’ve lived it for over 20 years and know how to help.
• Pharmaceuticals: Trusted for over 20 years, Cornerstone is located within a 60-mile radius of most Big Pharma US headquarters. With long-standing success stories across many enterprise-level pharmaceutical companies, we understand the unique and critical role that Big Pharma plays within the life sciences industry.
• International Companies: If you’re planning to expand into the US market, Cornerstone will expertly guide the process. We know the answers to your questions from typical compensation to local hiring laws, so you instantly gain 20 years of expertise in the marketplace. Our executive search consulting process tells your unique story to an unfamiliar marketplace and can help guide critical decisions as you make your first impression here in the US.
• Startups: With funding in place, the next hurdle is to assess the ever-changing market and effectively grow. Cornerstone has partnered with countless startup life sciences companies to help them do just that. Growing exponentially in a short period of time has proven to be incredibly challenging in this industry. Cornerstone uses its 20-plus years of expertise to guide you in navigating this incredibly complicated process, offering a one-stop executive search consulting for every unique situation you run into.
• Investors: As venture capital and private equity continue to pour into the life sciences space, Cornerstone is positioned with unparalleled industry experience.

• Non-Profits: Non-profits are special entities within the life sciences space – seeking to treat the forgotten patients who need it most. Cornerstone mirrors this mission and has a true appreciation for these organizations.
