Diagnostics Talent Expertise
What Is Diagnostics Recruitment?
Diagnostics recruitment focuses on sourcing and placing professionals who develop, validate, manufacture and commercialise in vitro diagnostics (IVD), molecular testing platforms and clinical diagnostic technologies. Diagnostics recruiters support hiring across assay development, regulatory affairs, quality systems, clinical affairs, manufacturing operations and commercial leadership within highly regulated healthcare environments.
Unlike broader MedTech recruitment, which often centres on medical devices and hardware engineering, diagnostics recruitment supports laboratory-based technologies, testing platforms, reagents and diagnostic instrumentation operating under UK, EU and global regulatory frameworks.
As demand for precision medicine, early detection and companion diagnostics grows, diagnostics organisations require talent with specialised expertise in laboratory science, regulatory compliance and clinical validation.
