Our expertise
Two worlds. One network.
The most important advances in healthcare now happen at the intersection of biology and technology. Most recruiters know one side. We were built to connect both.
Technology
The technology that scales it
We find the engineers and data specialists who build the platforms, devices and AI behind modern medicine.
Specialist by design
No generalists, no spray-and-pray. Every consultant lives inside one discipline and knows its talent personally.
Built for regulated worlds
We understand GxP, clinical and quality environments. The people we place can operate where compliance is non-negotiable.
Partners, not vendors
The right introduction can change a company. We invest in long-term relationships, not transactional placements.

The people
Founded on relationships,
Founded on relationships,
not databases.
Eblex Group was founded by Shaun Brown and Ryan Wade, pairing deep networks across life sciences with equally deep ones across technology. We go narrow on purpose: every consultant lives inside one discipline and knows its talent personally. No generalists, just the right introduction, made properly.

10 years of experience partnering with Life Science companies of all sizes from start up to global leaders, supporting them with both permanent and freelance requirements across UK, EU and US.
Ryan Wade
Founder and Director of Technology
Over 9 years' experience supporting tech-enabled companies across Software, Cloud, Data, and AI, delivering both contract and permanent talent solutions across the EU, UK and US.
In their words
The proof is in the relationships.
Eblex group are a breathe of fresh air in the world of life sciences recruitment. Truly ahead of their game with having their finger on the pulse in how much the landscape has changed. Speaking to Shaun was a game changer for me at a very difficult time. Not only was Shaun really knowledgeable about the ways opportunities can be created and secured in the current times but he mentored me through a entire recruitment process. I had, had too many conversations with other recruiters who waited for the roles to come to them to then offer them to me, Shaun was the one to materialise the opportunities, it was not a one off call then silence but weekly catch ups that went over and beyond the job opportunity. I can not recommend Shaun and the company enough and will always be my turn to for both personal next steps and the companies I work for.
