Background

About Bryan Blair

The market operates on incentives, not intentions. I help biotech and pharma companies stop fighting that reality and start using it. VP Biotech & Pharma Recruiting at GQR Global Markets. MIT AI/ML certified. I place R&D executives and build teams for Phase 2+ companies - clinical development, drug safety/pharmacovigilance, biometrics, clinical operations, and C-suite. Also run high-volume contract recruitment when you need specialized talent yesterday. conversations yearly with biotech C-suite and VP-level leaders. That access taught me something: most hiring failures aren't talent problems. They're alignment problems. Wrong fit. Wrong timing. Wrong incentives. My job isn't filling seats. It's making sure the move makes sense for both sides - because my reputation depends on what happens six months after the offer letter. The AI handles scale. I handle judgment. Recent placements: Three Senior Medical Directors (45 days), Chief Medical Officer, VP Clinical Supply Chain, biometrics teams across biostatistics and CDM. Two newsletters: → RecruitRx: Biotech talent strategy. Data from companies raising $5M-$5B and what it means for your hiring. No hand-holding. → recruit.ai: AI applications for recruiting and knowledge work. How automation actually changes workflows - without the hype. bryan.blair@gqr.com
