Our values
Empathy
At the core of our approach lies empathy. We genuinely care about our candidates and clients, understanding that by demonstrating authentic concern, we build trust and rapport. When individuals feel genuinely cared for, they are more receptive to our guidance, challenges, and insights. By fostering deeper and more meaningful relationships based on empathy, we create an environment where growth and success thrive.
Transparency
In an industry where trust is paramount, we prioritize transparency and integrity in every interaction. We recognize the potential skepticism that arises when money is involved, especially in recruitment. That's why we commit ourselves to working with unwavering transparency. Our clients and candidates can trust that we represent them honestly and ethically, ensuring long-lasting partnerships built on integrity.
Impact
We measure our success by the results we achieve for our clients, candidates, and the industry as a whole. By genuinely caring about the needs of others and offering true value, we foster stronger relationships that go beyond mere transactions. The combination of empathy, transparency, and a commitment to delivering results leads to a cascade of positive outcomes. It generates more candidate relationships, client referrals, and business opportunities, driving collective success for all stakeholders involved.

Meet the driving force behind Discera Search
Charles Spence leads Discera and is passionate about Clinical Development recruitment. He graduated with a biomedical degree, has worked in hospitals (including translation work in Seoul, South Korea) and also spent years doing research in diabetes. After doing research and travel, a career in business and science felt the most appropriate.
He joined a global search firm specialising in Life Science and trained under 3 of the best life science recruiters globally. One leads the entire EU Client Partnership programme, the other heads a EU Exec Search firm in Life Science and the last is dominating in SF - all very different, all incredibly talented and have taught Charles everything he knows.

From here Charles was in the global top 15 best recruiters in 2019 and again in 2022 (company size of 700 and 1000). He has won numerous awards for his work (Best Manager, Biggest Individual Deal Size, Company Recognition Award, Rolex, Paid education trips across the US).
In 2023, Charles decided to launch his own firm - Discera Search. A firm committed to solving the biggest talent needs of Early clinical stage SME biotechs in the east coast and DACH.
Discera comes from the latin word “To learn” and this is what Charles is most passionate about - learning Languages (3 languages so far), learning cultures and most importantly learning more about the incredible new medicines through the clients he works with.
