Our Story

A better way to do recruitment

After a successful career in life sciences sales and marketing with industry leaders such as GlaxoSmithKline and Amgen - Mark Sadler founded SciQ. Driven by his own challenges with agencies, Mark saw an opportunity to deliver higher-quality candidates and a more professional service. SciQ is committed to building a community focussed on fostering career growth and connecting the best talent with organisations making the greatest impact on global health.
