Covalent Match Founder-led search • Discreet by design
Each search leverages first-hand industry networks and direct referrals

Advisory-led search, conducted with precision and judgement

Founder-led engagement for pharmaceutical and food-industry companies operating globally. Designed for complex, high-stakes environments where hiring accuracy is critical.

Who we work with

We focus on senior leadership and critical technical appointments within regulated pharmaceutical and food environments. We partner with selected organisations that value a thoughtful, well-run search process as much as the outcome.

We are best aligned with clients who value precision over volume and who can commit to more than one search when building capabilities.

  • Pharmaceutical and food companies at launch or in growth phases
  • Organisations building entire teams
  • Businesses making confidential and critical appointments

Focus

Scientific and regulated environments demand a different standard of search: calm execution, deep qualification and trusted access.

No mass posting. No generic outreach. Just precise, targeted execution through first-hand networks.

How we work

We prioritise precision and trust: limited mandates, constant communication and a network-led approach.

Limited mandates by design

We accept a limited number of assignments at any one time. This protects focus, discretion and decision quality for every client.

Access-led execution

Searches are conducted through first-hand industry relationships and trusted referrals, not broad outreach or public posting.

Regulated-environment mindset

Built for regulated, high-stakes environments where judgement, compliance awareness, and trust are non-negotiable.

Complex mandates and critical appointments

From multi-role team builds to singular, high-impact leadership or technical appointments.
