The Company

A retained executive search firm serving the healthcare/life sciences industry, BioQuest specializes in consulting with venture-backed, small and mid-size companies on executive-level positions. Our process is a careful one and the attention to detail that is our hallmark ensures that costly missteps are avoided. From outside directors to CEOs and VPs in all management functions, we not only find and recruit the candidates who will be successful with your company; we also provide expert advice and counsel through every step of the search process.

Our firm is distinguished by the combination of the personalized service our consultants provide, the depth of knowledge of our practice groups, and the breadth of our firm’s contacts. Founded in 1985 by Roger Anderson and Jürgen Weber, PhD, MBA, BioQuest serves clients nationwide from offices in San Francisco and Orange County, California.

What Sets Us Apart

What distinguishes BioQuest from most other executive search firms is the combination of the personalized service our consultants provide, the depth of knowledge of our practice groups, and the breadth of our firm's contacts—not to mention the plain hard work we put into every search.

Personalized Service

To ensure that you receive the best service BioQuest can offer, we match each assignment to the consultant with the appropriate expertise to lead the most effective search. Our consultant then personally undertakes each step of the process; from defining the position to approaching candidates, from providing guidance to negotiating agreements. You benefit from the dedicated attention of an expert consultant who maintains constant communication with you throughout every step of the search.

Depth of Knowledge

While our consultants average two decades of combined industry and search experience and can certainly work independently, each is further supported by one of four sector practice groups—Biopharmaceuticals, Medical Devices, Health Information Technology, and Healthcare Services. Because of this, BioQuest has earned a reputation for understanding a company's culture and meeting the client's requirements with surprising speed and insight.

Breadth of Contacts

And in search, where having access to the broadest pool of talent really counts, our consultants draw on the entire firm's collective, long-standing contacts and its dedicated research department to identify both obvious and unanticipated promising new candidates. You are assured that the greatest number of candidates matching the search specifications will be identified and evaluated.

Our Assurance

Our record speaks for itself. We're proud of a greater than 95 percent success rate. But our goal is to be successful in all of our assignments. To achieve this, we will only take on a search when we know we can meet the high standards of service and results we have set for ourselves. So, if we take on an assignment, you will receive nothing less than our very best efforts and all the time you deserve.
