Attracting and Connecting Talent
Community Recruiting was founded on a simple but powerful idea: connecting exceptional talent with transformative opportunities. We believe in making a difference — leveraging passion, insight, and decades of experience in the life sciences to help innovative organizations grow and thrive.
Denise Clements, CEO and Founder, and Ariella Haber, Managing Partner, bring more than 70 years of combined recruiting expertise. Together, they have successfully partnered with leading companies such as Amgen and Vertex, as well as mid-sized organizations and stealth-mode start-ups poised for growth. They work closely with CEOs, HR leaders, and hiring managers to build exceptional teams, identifying and securing precisely targeted talent across disciplines and functions.
Our passion lies in partnering with start-ups — helping founders and visionaries bring their ideas to life and shape the future of science and innovation. We thrive on collaborating with people committed to changing the world, offering hands-on experience in building organizations from the ground up. Our approach is deeply personal and strategic: we help clients define what they truly need, not just what they think they need, ensuring the best outcomes for every stakeholder.
We partner with companies through the entire development lifecycle and across all phases of business growth and financing — from seed funding to IPOs and acquisitions. We know how to find, attract, and secure the right talent for every stage of growth.
While we remain closely involved in every search, our firm is supported by a team of 12 talented professionals — including a European presence in Germany —specializing in identifying and building relationships with exceptional candidates worldwide. We know who’s doing what, and where to find the leaders who can make a difference.
“I knew I wanted a partner who would actively get involved in the process from the point of view of understanding our culture and strategy and capable of identifying executives with a track record of deliverables, who could fit into the organization and would see our company as an exciting career proposition.”
