About Harrington

About Harrington


For over 15 years, Harrington Recruitment has built long-term relationships with organisations and professionals across science and healthcare.


We are deliberately relationship-led, taking the time to understand the people and businesses we work with rather than treating recruitment as a transactional process.


We pride ourselves on being honest and direct with both clients and candidates, even when that means a conversation doesn't lead to a placement. We believe in doing what's right for the people and organisations we work with, with long-term success taking priority over short-term results.


Our understanding of the markets we recruit within allows us to look beyond a CV or job description and consider the bigger picture: the business, the opportunity, the individual and what success looks like for everyone involved.

More than a recruitment supplier

More than a recruitment supplier

We aim to become a genuine extension of the businesses we work with. That means taking the time to understand your market, products, culture and commercial goals - not simply the vacancy in front of us.

By working with a small number of clients at any one time, we can invest properly in every search, offer honest market insight and introduce carefully selected people we genuinely believe can succeed within your business.

Your career is more than your next role

Your career is more than your next role

We take the same long-term approach with candidates. We want to understand what motivates you, where you want your career to go and whether an opportunity is genuinely right for you - not simply whether your CV matches a job description.

From the first conversation through interview preparation, offer negotiation and beyond, you'll receive honest advice, market insight and support tailored to you.

I’ve worked with Scott for over 5 years now and Katya recently, honestly can’t recommend them highly enough. They’ve been incredibly supportive throughout, always professional, and genuinely invested in helping me make the right decisions rather than just the quickest ones. They know the industry inside out, give honest advice, and are always responsive and reliable. It’s rare to find that level of consistency and integrity over such a long period.

Business Development Manager - DACH

I had the pleasure of working with Scott during a recent hiring process, and I couldn’t have asked for a better guide throughout the experience. From our first conversation, it was clear that he brings a great mix of expertise, clarity, and genuine support to his role. Scott was always available to answer questions, offer insight, and keep things moving smoothly, which made the entire process far less stressful and a lot more enjoyable. His communication was thoughtful and timely, and he made sure I was well-prepared every step of the way. It was a real pleasure working with him—I’d gladly recommend Scott and his team to anyone navigating their next career move. Thank again for the great support Scott :)

The experience of working with Katya in Harrington was fantastic, from start to finish not only did she support me all the way she actually knew about the job she was recruiting for. Helpful, friendly, approachable, Kind and clearly a well experienced recruiter. She found me a job in a company which was perfect for me. Thanks a million :-)

Had a great experience with Harrington, who have helped me in securing my most recent role. Their support throughout the interview process is very hands on, and it’s evident they are well versed with the market. A special thanks to Scott, Adrienne and Katya, they really helped boost my confidence going into each interview.
