A talent marketplace is a platform that connects professionals directly with companies seeking their expertise. Unlike traditional job boards or staffing agencies, a marketplace removes the middleman, allowing talent and hiring managers to connect directly. It’s like a dating app for biotech hiring—matching you with opportunities and employers based on your skills and preferences.

For biotech professionals, this means access to full-time jobs, contract work, and freelance opportunities tailored to your career goals. Whether you’re looking for your next full-time role or exploring consulting or freelance gigs, the marketplace offers flexibility.

For example: Even if you’re already working full-time, Biotech United lets you take on side projects as a consultant or freelancer, helping you expand your network, grow your skills, and earn additional income. It’s a platform where all biotech professionals—scientists, marketers, finance experts, regulatory specialists, and more—can thrive in their careers, at any stage or preferred work style.

Not at all! While we cater to scientists and lab professionals, Biotech United is for everyone in the biotech industry. Whether you’re in finance, marketing, regulatory affairs, HR, business development, or other non-laboratory roles, you can find opportunities tailored to your skills and expertise. Biotech thrives because of diverse talent, and our platform is here to connect all professionals contributing to the industry’s growth.

Yes! Our platform is completely free for all talent. You can create a profile, browse jobs, and apply at no cost. For freelancers and consultants, you have the freedom to set your own rates. We don’t charge any commission for your services—our unique business model has biotech companies pay a platform fee for using your expertise. This means you keep more of what you earn while connecting directly with companies that need your skills.

Creating a profile is quick and easy. Simply sign up with your name and email to create a talent profile, we highly recommend attaching your LinkedIn profile link and uploading your resume. You can also set your freelancing hourly rate when you create your profile. Our AI will automatically extract relevant information from both to fill out your profile. You can then review and make any changes as needed to ensure it accurately reflects your experience and skills.

Additionally, we recommend creating a free Calendly account (https://calendly.com/) and pasting the link on your profile. This makes it easier for potential employers to schedule time with you, streamlining the interview process.

Once you create a great profile and keep it up to date, our AI automatically analyzes your skills and preferences, matching you with relevant jobs.

Yes, full-time positions list intended compensation upfront. For freelance and consulting jobs, you have the flexibility to set and negotiate your rates directly with the employer, ensuring transparency and alignment of expectations.

We understand that the interview process in biotech can be exhausting, often lasting hours or even the entire day. It may involve presenting data, showcasing your work, and speaking with multiple interviewers one-on-one. Paid interviews are a way to compensate you for your time and effort during this process. If an employer offers a paid interview, you’ll be compensated for the time you spend in these detailed discussions and assessments.

The Extended Interview service is designed for companies that want to see candidates in action before making a hiring decision. It works like a freelancing job, where you’ll be given tasks to complete over multiple days, allowing you to demonstrate your skills and value. This service also provides you with the chance to experience the company’s culture and working environment, going beyond a typical interview. It’s a unique opportunity to assess whether the company is the right fit for you, while the employer evaluates how well you integrate with the team. Compensation and terms for extended interviews are set directly with the employer.

Paid and extended interviews are at the discretion of the employer. However, when you connect with a potential employer, you have the option to request payment for the interview and set the terms directly with them. This allows you to negotiate and agree on compensation for your time upfront.

·        Temporary Position: A temporary job involves working for a biotech company (our client) as a short term employee. You will be entitled to benefits while you work for our client. Biotech United will manage your payroll, benefits, and workers' compensation using third-party services. You will receive a W-2 for tax purposes.

·        Freelancing: Freelancers are independent professionals who work on short-term projects or assignments for various clients and not classified as employees. Freelancers set their own rates and manage their own work schedule. We will manage your payment securely and you will receive a 1099 for tax purposes.

·        Consulting: Consultants are experts also classified as independent contractors who provide strategic advice and guidance to companies, often on a longer-term basis. Like freelancers, consultants set their own rates and schedules but focus on providing specialized expertise. They may work with one or more clients and also receive a 1099 for tax purposes.

We handle all the paperwork and issue the appropriate tax documents (such as W-2s for temporary contracts and 1099s for freelancing and consulting roles). However, you are responsible for filing your own taxes. This ensures that all paperwork is compliant, while giving you the flexibility to manage your own tax obligations.
