Background

About Bryan Blair

The market runs on incentives, not intentions. I help biotech and pharma companies stop pretending otherwise. VP Biotech & Pharma Recruiting at GQR Global Markets. MIT AI/ML certified. I place R&D executives and build teams for clinical-stage biotech and pharma: clinical development, drug safety and pharmacovigilance, biometrics, clinical operations, and C-suite. I run high-volume contract search when you need specialized talent yesterday. conversations a year with biotech C-suite and VP leaders taught me one thing. Most hiring failures have nothing to do with talent. They come down to alignment: wrong fit, wrong timing, wrong incentives. So I don't fill seats. The job is making sure the move holds up for both sides, because my reputation lives or dies six months after the offer letter. The AI handles scale. I handle judgment. Recent placements: three Senior Medical Directors in 45 days, a search that usually takes months. A Chief Medical Officer. A VP Clinical Supply Chain. Biometrics teams across biostatistics and clinical data management. I write two newsletters: → RecruitRx - biotech talent strategy, built on data from companies raising $5M-$5B. No hand-holding. → recruit.ai - how AI reshapes recruiting and knowledge work. No hype. Building an R&D team and the last search stalled? That's my work. bryan.blair@gqr.com Subscribe to either newsletter on LinkedIn
