What we stand for
Our history
QTC started in 2014 when Jord Teeuwen launched the company from a kitchen table with a clear mission to bring speed, quality, and focus to life sciences recruitment.
From day one we’ve been driven by the belief that recruitment should be both fast and high quality. This mindset helped us grow quickly and earn multiple FD Gazelle Awards.
As we expanded so did our reach. We began working with startups, scale-ups, and global leaders across the life sciences ecosystem, building long-term partnerships based on trust and results.
Today QTC stands as a well-established international agency with over a decade of experience in connecting talent to purpose across life sciences.
Creating value in Life Science
At QTC we have spent over a decade connecting ambitious life sciences companies with world-class talent. What started in the Benelux has grown into a trusted recruitment and executive search partner across Western Europe.
We believe the best matches happen when both people and organizations grow. That is how we help shape a healthier and more innovative world one placement at a time.
By combining modern recruitment methods with strong values like trust quality and a personal approach we make sure our partners move forward with the right people.
Our focus on quality time and cost means you get reliable service real results and long-term value.
