  • Some of the most valuable workplace relationships begin with a quick coffee, a shared challenge, or someone simply asking, “How are you going?” For 55% of employees with close friends at work, those relationships are linked to feeling very happy in their workplace. Friendship cannot be forced, but businesses can create the conditions for it through inclusive cultures, genuine collaboration, and time to connect beyond immediate tasks. Today, we celebrate the people who make work feel a little lighter and more human. Happy International Day of Friendship from PPD Search! #PPDSearch #InternationalDayOfFriendship #Friends #WorkplaceWellbeing

    Preparation builds confidence. This candidate's experience with our senior consultant, Scott, shows the impact of having a recruiter who takes the time to provide context, practical feedback, and clear advice throughout the process. For candidates, that support can be especially valuable when roles are technical, competitive or highly specialised. In life sciences recruitment, the small details often matter: how a role is positioned and how candidates can prepare for the conversation ahead. At PPD Search, we support candidates with the clarity and market insight they need to move forward with confidence. 📩 Connect with us to discuss your next opportunity: https://lnkd.in/gKYMRFtH #PPDSearch #CandidateTestimonial #InterviewSupport

  • The conversation around AI in medtech often starts with technology. It should also include capability. Who will lead the change? Who can connect AI to clinical and commercial outcomes? Who understands the regulatory environment? Who can drive adoption across the business? These questions matter because the return on AI investment depends on the people behind it. PPD Search helps life sciences organisations secure the leadership, commercial and specialist talent needed to deliver meaningful outcomes.

    What a great session at our Careers in the Field event, held on 8 July at the MTAA Office in Macquarie Park. It was a pleasure to connect with medtech professionals who are actively thinking about their next move, asking the right questions and exploring how field-based roles could shape their career pathway. Thank you to every participant for bringing such great energy, curiosity and engagement to the workshop. We would also like to thank the Medical Technology Association of Australia (MTAA) for their partnership and support in making the event possible!

  • A senior hire in a large organisation can affect a division. But a senior hire in an SME can affect the whole business. From growth momentum to team stability, the commercial footprint of a leadership appointment is significant, especially across medtech and pharma, where roles are often highly specialised and business-critical. The wrong appointment can slow growth, disrupt teams, and create costly setbacks. #PPDSearch #SeniorLeadership

    Interview preparation can make a real difference to how confident a candidate feels going into the room. For Sean, one of our candidates, that support came from the resources and guidance our senior consultant, Scott, provided ahead of his interview. It is a strong reminder that recruitment is not just about opportunity. It is also about helping people feel prepared to put their best foot forward. 📣 Speak with PPD Search about your next career move in life sciences: https://lnkd.in/gKYMRFtH #PPDSearch #CandidateTestimonial #InterviewPreparation

  • Global search firms can bring scale. But in specialist life sciences executive search, scale alone is not enough. For GM, Director, and Country Head roles, the best leaders are often highly network-driven, deeply sector-specific, and not visible in broad market mapping or advertised candidate pools. PPD Search brings the specialist expertise that global search models may miss, with 20+ years of experience in the life sciences market. Work with a partner who already knows the market.
