Specialist Recruitment

The recruiter who actually understands your lab.

We place LIMS specialists, Lab IT professionals, automation engineers and scientific data people across pharma, biotech and beyond. No generalists. No guesswork.

Our Specialisms

We only work in one space. Yours.

Generic recruiters don't know a LIMS from a LIS. We do. That's why the candidates we put in front of you are actually relevant, and why we find the ones who aren't on the market yet.

🧬

LIMS

LabWare, STARLIMS, LabVantage, SampleManager. We know the systems and the people who run them.

💻

Lab IT

Infrastructure, instrument integration and support roles specific to laboratory environments.

🤖

Lab Automation

Automation engineers, robotics and liquid handling specialists driving throughput in modern labs.

📊

Scientific Data

ELN, scientific data management and the data lake work that makes lab data usable rather than just stored.

How We Work

Fast, thorough, no wasted conversations.

We do the specialist groundwork so you don't have to brief three agencies and sift through irrelevant CVs.

1

We understand the brief

A proper conversation about the role, the team, the tech stack and what good really looks like. Not just the job spec.

2

We find the right people

Active candidates and passive talent. People who know LabWare or STARLIMS or SampleManager, not people who've just typed it on a CV.

3

We make the match

A shortlist worth your time. We handle screening, briefing and logistics so the conversation you have is the one that counts.

Where Labs Are Heading

AI is only as good as the data layer underneath it.

Every lab we speak to is being asked what its AI plan is. In practice that question breaks into three layers, and most organisations are much stronger on two of them than on the third.

Layer 01

The AI layer

Models and analytics that read what the lab produces and turn it into decisions. The part everyone is talking about.

Layer 02

The data and systems layer

LIMS, ELN, SDMS, instrument integration and the data lake work that gets lab data into a state something can actually read. Structured, contextualised, traceable.

This is the bottleneck
Layer 03

The physical layer

Instruments, robotics and automation. Well understood, well supplied, and largely useless if layer two isn't right.

The people who can work across lab domain knowledge and real data engineering are a small pool, and they know it. If you're hiring into that middle layer, or you're one of those people, it's worth a conversation.

What We Recruit For

Roles we place.

We'd rather show you what we actually work on than pad this page out with roles we can't talk about. If you do one of these, or you're hiring for one, get in touch and we'll have a proper conversation about it.

Who's Behind LabTech Talent
Vickesh Raithatha
Founder, LabTech Talent

LabTech Talent was founded on a simple observation: the people hiring for lab informatics roles were being let down by generalist recruiters who didn't understand the technology, the systems, or the culture of the labs they were hiring for.

We work with a network of lab informatics professionals across pharma, biotech and life sciences, and we take the time to understand the space properly. Every conversation is with me directly, not passed down a desk.

"I started this because I saw a gap nobody was filling. LIMS, Lab IT, automation. These aren't just keywords on a CV. They're specialist skills that deserve a specialist recruiter."
Sectors

Wherever labs exist, we place.

Lab IT and LIMS skills are needed across more industries than most people realise. We work across all of them, in the UK and Europe.
