Every tier comes with a three-layer assessment and a replacement guarantee. Pick the level of support that matches where you're headed.
What's Really at Stake
You already know the wrong hire hurts. Here's what it actually costs you.
€180k–€420k
The average cost of one mishire in life sciences AI, including lost pipeline time, delayed submissions, and team disruption.
46%
Of AI hires in pharma leave or underperform within 18 months. Nearly half. That's not bad luck, it's a broken process.
89%
Of those failures come down to culture and personality. The right person on paper can still be the wrong person for your team.
The real question isn't what recruitment costs. It's what happens to your pipeline, your deadlines, and your team when a hire doesn't work out.

Frequently Asked Questions
What if a candidate doesn't work out?
You're fully protected. If things don't work out within the guarantee period, a replacement is found at no extra charge. Contingent: 90 days. Embedded and Enterprise: 120 days. The risk stays with us, not with you.
How quickly will I receive candidates?
You'll see 3-5 strong profiles within 3 weeks of our first call. We've already vetted our talent pool, so we're matching, not starting from scratch.
Why is culture fit mapping only available in the Embedded and Enterprise tiers?
Great question. Every candidate gets a Big Five culture fit profile in every tier. But to map that against YOUR team, we need to understand your team's dynamics first, and that deeper work is part of Embedded or Enterprise.
The Investment Pays for Itself With One Right Hire
A single prevented mishire saves €180k-€420k. Whether you're clinical-stage or scaling across therapeutic areas, the right tier means the right team, on your timeline, with none of the usual hiring anxiety.
