Senior Technical Recruiter & Life Sciences & Neurotech & Biotech
About Us
InterPlanetary Talent Services (IPTS) partners with frontier organizations building the next generation of science- and research-driven technology. Alongside our work in Web3 and AI, we increasingly support companies operating in life sciences, neurotechnology, and biologically integrated systems — where breakthroughs occur at the intersection of research, engineering, and applied science.
Our clients include neurotech startups, AI-biology companies, research labs, and interdisciplinary teams translating cutting-edge science into real-world systems. As this work accelerates, we’re expanding our recruiting team with a dedicated Senior Technical Recruiter focused on Life Sciences and Neurotech.
Role Overview
We’re hiring a Senior Technical Recruiter to lead full-cycle hiring across neurotech, neuroscience, and biotech-adjacent roles. You’ll partner closely with founders, research leads, and scientific leadership to recruit highly specialized talent — often from academic, lab, or research-first environments.
This role is ideal for someone who understands that life sciences hiring is different: longer cycles, deeper technical evaluation, interdisciplinary profiles, and candidates who may be transitioning from academia into industry for the first time.
