Biotech is changing.
Is your recruiting keeping up?
Biotech is shifting toward leaner teams, but one of the biggest bottlenecks is still the talent pool. Hiring managers stuck reviewing hundreds of “Easy Apply” job applicants are missing out on the limited number of exceptional researchers their teams desperately need.
In a world where volume is the go-to strategy, we use our niche expertise to identify, engage, and qualify top candidates faster than your competition.

Meet the Team
My name is Corey Imparato, and I am the Founder and CEO of RecruitSeq. Prior to starting this company, I spent 6 years as a headhunter specialized in systems biology and protein engineering for founder-led, small to mid-sized biotech startups.
I quickly rose to a leadership role as someone always thinking about how to innovate and add value for others. Even as R&D in biotech experiences dramatic changes, my clients have trusted me to find the best talent in the market to truly elevate their teams.
I live in Boston with my fiancée (a practicing Radiologist also passionate about life-saving therapies). We’re always out and about, taking advantage of everything the city has to offer. For transplants new to the city, I’m always happy to provide recommendations as a 12+ year resident!

FAQs
-
We are happy to work on a pay-per-hire model. But that’s not our core offer and here’s why:
Contingent recruiting is transactional. You pay per hire, we compete with other agencies, and it’s all short-term fixes. For newer startups, those fees can add up quickly.We also offer a flat fee model, where we provide an expert recruiter on a part-time basis to handle any and all of your recruiting needs, whether that’s screening inbound candidates, headhunting exceptional talent, or building out and managing Talent Operations.
This service is great for small startups that want the compounding effect of a strong TA function, but don’t want to make a full-time hire. We charge a flat fee quarterly based on your needs.
-
Top biotech talent wants to hear your story, not generic job posts. We help you showcase your pipeline, mission impact, and growth potential while reaching passive candidates through my industry network. Competitive packages matter, but equity and career trajectory often seal the deal.
-
If your current process is manual and reactive, you’re bound to face delays. The best biotech talent is scarce and highly sought after. Top candidates are evaluating multiple offers and need time to assess your platform, team, and funding runway. We accelerate this by maintaining warm talent pools and streamlining your process.
-
Usually it's a mismatch between expectations and reality - compensation, equity, or role scope. We conduct deep candidate discovery calls to understand motivations and provide real-time market data to help you craft a winning pitch.
-
Generalist biotech recruiters at big agencies don't understand the difference between a Medicinal Chemist and a Process Chemist. We live in biotech - we know (or learn) your science, your competitors, and exactly who you need. This translates to faster, better hires.
-
The cost of delayed projects often outweighs a full recruiting fee.

We work with flexible terms for promising startups, especially when there's long-term partnership potential.
