What clients ask us

What QM/QA/RA Medical Affairs positions are you hiring for in the medical technology sector?

We cover the entire spectrum: QMB, QA Manager, Head of Quality, Regulatory Affairs Specialist, Regulatory Affairs Manager, Head of Regulatory Affairs, Medical Affairs Manager, Head of Medical Affairs, Medical Director, and Clinical Affairs Manager. Depending on the company’s stage of development and specific requirements, we fill both operational specialist roles and strategic leadership positions.

Why are RA and QA professionals so hard to find in the medical technology industry?

The combination of in-depth regulatory knowledge, practical experience in audits and approval processes, and industry expertise is rare. Due to the transition to the MDR and the IVDR, experienced RA specialists are in high demand and rarely respond to traditional job postings. In this context, access through an active network is crucial.

Do you also fill Medical Affairs positions with a clinical background?

Yes, we fill medical affairs roles with and without a medical background, depending on the company’s specific requirements. BESTMINDS has access to a broad network of clinically experienced professionals who have already made the transition to the industry or are planning to do so.

How long does a typical staffing take?

On average, it takes 6 to 12 weeks from the initial engagement to the signing of the contract. The exact duration depends on the seniority of the position, the location, and the availability of suitable candidates. We communicate realistic timelines from the very beginning.

How is the fee model structured?

The fee is based on the individual annual target salary for the position to be filled. We communicate this transparently and openly, with no hidden costs. During the initial consultation, you will receive a clear overview of our terms and conditions.
