Strategic Talent Marketing: When a Rockstar Candidate Knocks

Hiring an MPC

 Sometimes, the best talent doesn’t wait for a job posting—they show up ready to make a difference. When an exceptional candidate with rare experience or executive-level impact comes to us, we don’t sit on our hands. We go to market.

SRI’s Most Placeable Candidate (MPC) service flips the hiring process. Instead of waiting for the perfect role to open, we identify organizations that would benefit from a strategic hire—even if they weren’t actively looking. Whether it’s a biotech executive with FDA approval expertise, a fintech leader who’s scaled two exits, or a commercial force in clinical development, we connect the dots before your competitors do.

When to Engage This Service:

  • You’re open to opportunistic, strategic hires that elevate your team
     
  • You want to meet candidates who are rarely on the market—and won’t be for long
     
  • You value proactive introductions over reactive recruiting
     
  • You want to build a future-ready leadership bench

How this works

We don’t push résumés—we make purposeful introductions. If you’re open to adding exceptional talent when the opportunity is right, let’s talk.
