What Our Expert Angels Say About
HMC Matching
Expert in Clinical Operations
HMC Matching stands out by connecting the Expert Angel with the company in search: the proposed profiles are all appropriate for the position, and HMC knows them personally. There is a moral commitment to the person being proposed—both towards the individual and the company.
 HMC does not pay its experts to be "Expert Angels": they are motivated to be one.
Expert in Clinical Operations
- They have the knowledge of the Pharma environment and know the roles, unlike standard recruiters who will propose your CV without knowing what is really expected from the clients. They also are keen to really match with the clients' and Angels’ expectations, needs, and willingness.


- For the first time, I was asked, “What would you love to do?” and not only what the client is searching for.
Expert in Strategy and Business Development
I must admit that your idea of junior/senior pairing is both interesting and clever, as well as the use of the expert network to challenge candidates. That is why I would recommend HMC to other potential candidates or clients, along with strong industry knowledge.
Expert in Strategy and Transformation
In contrast to other companies, its disruptive nature lies in consolidating fragmented service providers in the pharmaceutical industry, such as headhunting, freelancing (less developed in pharma), and interim management.

This unique approach creates a boutique of experts capable of addressing various topics comprehensively.

I recommend HMC Matching to clients and candidates (both experts and those seeking permanent recruitment) due to the exceptional level of expertise offered by the profiles involved.
Expert in HR Support
A no-bullshit partnership that makes a difference: HMC knows your challenges and your area of expertise and comes to you with a credible proposal, not compromising with a "so/so" candidate.

"Time is money, no waste": A pragmatic recruitment solution based on true operational management experience.
Expert in Research Strategy & Key Alliances
HMC Matching has a solid network with highly experienced people from the pharma industry.


It differentiates from other companies through the breadth of expertise and the potential to provide technical, scientific, and managerial support to the same customer if needed. There is a strong co-optation of the best experts through the professional network. The strong pharma industry background of experts and their own networks facilitate the selection of candidates.
Expert in CMC
HMC has the potential to offer a tailored solution to the HR challenge that many early-stage biotechs and academic spin-off biotechs are facing. At the same time, it also satisfies the wish of most consultants to provide high-quality professional services efficiently.

The concept is completely different and unique, and also cost-effective compared to any other idea I have encountered in my ten years in the freelance pharma field.
Expert in Medical Affairs
HMC is really different and engaging. It responds to a true need in the field with a win-win mindset. It addresses challenging and changing business situations. HMC differentiates itself by proposing a multi-expertise panel with members ready to act, involving experts in the HMC Matching community, and fostering a positive network mindset.
Expert in Research & Development
Why HMC Matching? H for Handy, M for Maximization, C for Companionship!
Expert in Sales & Marketing
This new concept is totally mutually enriching; everything is transparent. The reciprocity scheme and the win/win benefit are engaged by a clear MSA.


I would recommend HMC Matching mainly for the owner's experience and network. Easy contact and good understanding of expectations.
Expert in Business Development & Licensing
The HMC Matching initiative is relevant because there is a real need for senior experts across the entire Pharma R&D value chain. The mindset is excellent. The disruption comes from the business model. Experts may conduct their own prospecting, but they can also rely on Guillaume’s work in this area. The networks are complementary, providing real added value. It’s a kind of “win-win-win” situation (between client, candidate, and HMC governance). Not sure this exists elsewhere…
Expert in R&D and Medical Affairs
HMC has a new approach combining expertise, tailor-made services, and knowledge transfer.
 HMC provides the customer with the right service for the necessary time. We differentiate ourselves through our listening, our advice, and our flexibility. HMC Matching meets the needs of its customers, whatever their situation.
Medical Director
HMC Matching is extremely interesting in the context of optimizing human resources, both in big pharma and, most importantly, in startups.
Expert in Marketing
HMC is different, and it is easy to be included—not as a number or just another manager.
 The full-package approach, combining young and senior professionals, is the key point that makes it attractive.
Expert in Medical Affairs
It is original and valuable, provided it remains exclusive, restricted to direct contacts and non-public networking.
 It differentiates from other companies because we rely on each other, know each other, and support each other. I would recommend HMC Matching for the flexibility of the Angels, who can cover for one another, and for their seniority, ensuring improved success and results in missions.
Expert in Market Access, Pricing, and HEOR
HMC holds the promise of matching the right people with the right projects, thereby attracting significant business. This could be a win-win situation for the client, HMC, and the experts.
 What is disruptive is the pairing of junior and senior professionals. Most other staffing/placement agencies focus on one or the other.
Expert in Marketing
“Guillaume is an experienced leader who provides the energy needed to bring the HMC Matching project to success. The concept is innovative because it combines recruitment, counseling, and the concept of pairing. HMC Matching's aim is to provide the best—or the best combination—of profiles required for the client's project to run smoothly.
 As an experienced executive, I can easily see myself in this network and look forward to new opportunities.”
