Rec2Rec Boston
Boston has a thriving recruitment market
Boston’s recruitment market is driven by sector expertise. So is ours
Boston is one of America’s most important markets for specialist recruitment. Life sciences and biotech dominate, but there is also a significant technology sector, a deep professional services community, and some of the country’s most active financial services and consulting desks. What Boston agencies need above all else is recruiters who genuinely know their sector.
Raymond George understands this. Life sciences is one of our core specialisms, and our North America team has built a network of Boston-area recruitment professionals that goes well beyond what any database or job board can offer.
Who are you: Client or Candidate?
Looking for your next staffing role in Boston?
Talk to us confidentially. No pressure. We will tell you current insights on what is out there and whether the timing is right.
Need to hire sector-specialist staffing talent in Boston?
Life sciences, tech, professional services. We find recruiters who actually know the space they work in.
How we work: Engaged and Consultancy
We offer two service models. Here is what each one means.
Engaged
Our Engaged service is a retained search. You pay a portion of the fee upfront and we commit our full approach to finding the right person: direct headhunting, a proper map of the relevant talent pool, regular updates, and a shortlist of candidates who have been genuinely assessed. This is the right model for senior hires, hard-to-fill roles, and anything where getting it wrong is costly.
What you get with Engaged:
- An assigned Director and dedicated research team
- Role definition and person specification brief
- Market insights and compensation intelligence review
- Narrative and GTM strategy agreement
- Timelines and review meetings agreed
- Market mapping and candidate identification
- Sourcing and proactive outreach to active and passive candidates
- Candidate screening, evaluation, thorough interviewing and shortlisting
- Regular reporting and market intelligence throughout the search
- Coordination of interviews and feedback management
- Offer negotiation and acceptance facilitation
- Post-placement candidate check-ins at 30, 60, and 90 days
Consultancy
Not every hire needs an engaged search. Our consultancy team delivers a traditional contingency service.
Not sure which is right for you?

We are discreet. We are honest. And we will not waste your time with roles that are not right for you. We will tell you what is available, what each opportunity actually looks like from the inside, and whether we think it is worth your time. Then it is your call.
Everything is completely confidential.
We support every candidate with:
Confidential career consultations with no obligation to proceed
Access to Boston roles in life sciences, tech, and professional services not advertised elsewhere
Honest salary and total compensation benchmarking for your specialism and level

For hiring businesses: find recruitment talent in Boston
In a market as technically demanding as Boston, a recruiter who does not know their sector is a liability. The candidates who will genuinely perform on your life sciences or technology desk are not sitting in a generalist database. They need to be found.
We partner with Boston agencies across life sciences, tech, professional services, and beyond to find recruiters who actually know the space they are working in. We do not present candidates speculatively or out of their sector. If the brief says life sciences, the people we put in front of you have life sciences recruitment experience.
Tell us what you need and we will give you a straight answer about whether we can deliver it.
What clients get when working with us:
Sector-matched candidates only, no generalist guesswork
Direct headhunting into your specific talent pool
Strategic content marketing, podcast inclusion or development and videos which will establish the narrative and elevate your brand
Market intelligence on what your target candidates are earning and what they want
Regular updates and full transparency throughout
Access to UK talent through our transatlantic network

Why Raymond George?
Life sciences is a core specialism
Boston’s life sciences and biotech sector is one of the reasons we have invested in the US market. We understand what makes a great recruiter in this space, what agencies here need, and how to find the talent that genuinely fits.
Sector-matched candidates only
We do not present candidates speculatively or outside their area. If a client has a life sciences desk, the people we put in front of them have life sciences recruitment experience. That discipline produces better outcomes for everyone.
UK and Canada reach
Raymond George operates across the UK, US, and Canada. Boston-based agencies get access to talent from across the Atlantic, and Boston-based candidates get visibility of international opportunities if that is something they want.
Get in touch
Whether you are a recruiter in Boston who wants an honest conversation about your career, or a business that needs to hire recruitment talent, we would love to hear from you. No obligation. No hard sell.
