Frequently asked questions
What surprises international companies most about U.S. hiring?
Oftentimes, the cost. Compensation for experienced commercial and clinical talent runs higher in the U.S. than in most other markets, and it climbs further in the hubs where that talent is concentrated. Leadership teams who benchmark against home-market salaries are often caught off guard. We help you build a realistic picture early – so your budget reflects what it actually takes to hire the people you want.
Who has Mix helped bring to the U.S. market?
We keep active client engagements confidential, but we’ve built U.S. teams for life sciences companies headquartered in Australia, Italy, Korea, Sweden, and the United Kingdom, from lean biotech startups making their first U.S. hires to global pharmaceutical companies scaling full field forces.
How do Mix's contract talent solutions work?
Our Contract Talent Organization (Mix CTO) gives you flexibility without sacrificing candidate quality. We deploy individuals or entire functional teams across commercial, clinical, and medical roles, and we adapt the model to your stage, timeline, and structure. Three common configurations:
- Contract sales teams: Field reps, managers, and specialists who let you enter new territories with less fixed overhead.
- Contract MSL & field medical teams: Built for scientific depth, therapeutic alignment, and fit with your team from day one.
- Contingent talent augmentation: Interim professionals who keep clinical and operational work moving when headcount is frozen.
We also handle payroll for contractors – benefits, tax obligations, and field compensation compliance included.

Our recruiters specialize in numerous therapeutic areas, including but not limited to oncology, neurology, rare disease, gene and cell therapy, dermatology, immunology, cardiovascular, ophthalmology, and medical device.
