We bring together the greatest scientific minds with entrepreneurial company builders and assemble the capital to allow them to take courageous leaps in human health, sustainability, and beyond.

Flagship has been recognized twice on FORTUNE's "Change the World" list, an annual ranking of companies that have made a positive social and environmental impact through activities that are part of their core business strategies, and has been named four times to Fast Company's annual list of the World's Most Innovative Companies.

Candidate Experience
- Serve as the primary point of contact and on-site host for executive-level candidates throughout the interview process, delivering a consistently exceptional, personalized experience from first touchpoint through offer.
- Escort, accompany, and coordinate all logistics for executive candidates on-site — navigating campus, managing travel and accommodations, and ensuring candidates feel welcomed and cared for at every moment.
- Manage candidate communications with professionalism and warmth, representing Flagship's brand at the highest standard.
Search Operations & Process Excellence
- Maintain meticulous candidate records and pipeline tracking in Greenhouse, ensuring real-time accuracy across all active searches.
- Proactively identify process improvements and support ad hoc Talent Acquisition projects and cross-functional initiatives as the team and portfolio continue to grow.

- Excellent written and verbal communication skills; polished and articulate in all candidate and stakeholder interactions.
- Bachelor's degree required; background in life sciences, business, or a related field a plus.
Scheduling, Negotiation & Execution
- Experience managing high-volume, complex scheduling across multiple executives, time zones, and companies simultaneously — comfortable and confident negotiating for calendar holds, navigating competing priorities, and keeping searches moving forward.
- Exceptional organizational and strategic thinking skills; able to manage competing priorities, anticipate issues, and make sound independent judgment calls in a fast-paced, complex environment.
Relationship Management & Candidate Experience
- Outstanding interpersonal skills with the ability to build instant rapport with senior executives and internal leaders. Professional and composed under pressure.
- Proven ability to build and sustain trusted relationships with Executive Assistants and Chiefs of Staff; understands their role deeply and how to work with them as true partners.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Green Card Sponsorship in Executive Search
Document your specialty occupation credentials early
PERM requires your employer to prove the role demands a specific degree, not just any bachelor's. Gather transcripts, credential evaluations, and job descriptions that tie your HR or business degree directly to executive search functions before outreach begins.
Target retained search firms over contingency shops
Retained executive search firms run long-term client engagements and carry dedicated HR infrastructure, making them far more likely to have experience sponsoring foreign professionals through PERM than smaller contingency-based recruiters.
Verify the prevailing wage tier before accepting an offer
Your employer must pay at least the DOL prevailing wage for your SOC code and location. Use the OFLC Wage Search to check which wage level matches your seniority before negotiating, so your offer doesn't delay or disqualify your PERM filing.
Search green card sponsors using Migrate Mate
Filter for executive search employers with active EB-2 or EB-3 PERM sponsorship history on Migrate Mate. This surfaces firms that have already navigated the labor certification process, cutting your research time and raising your chances of a real sponsorship conversation.
Clarify sponsorship intent before the final interview round
Many executive search employers will sponsor but haven't codified the process. Raise sponsorship directly with HR or the hiring partner after demonstrating fit, framing it as a standard PERM filing rather than a novel request they'd need to research from scratch.
Understand how EB-3 priority dates affect your timeline
Once your I-140 is approved, your green card wait depends on your country of birth and the Visa Bulletin priority date. Nationals from most countries outside China and India can expect to move through the EB-3 queue significantly faster.

Find Executive Search JobsExecutive Search Green Card Sponsorship: Frequently Asked Questions
Do executive search roles qualify for EB-2 or EB-3 green card sponsorship?
Both categories are available depending on the position's requirements. EB-2 applies when the role requires an advanced degree or you qualify as a professional with strong specialized credentials in talent acquisition or organizational consulting. EB-3 covers positions requiring at least a bachelor's degree in business, human resources, or a related field. Your employer's job description and your own qualifications determine which category applies.
How does the green card sponsorship process differ from H-1B for executive search professionals?
The green card process through PERM and I-140 leads to permanent residency, not a temporary status with renewal deadlines. Unlike the H-1B, there's no annual lottery for EB-3 sponsorship, and most nationalities outside China and India face no meaningful backlog at that level. The tradeoff is timeline: PERM labor certification and I-140 adjudication together typically take one to two years before you can file to adjust status.
How do I find executive search employers who will sponsor a green card?
Use Migrate Mate to filter executive search and talent solutions firms with verified PERM sponsorship history. This is more reliable than asking cold during applications because it shows firms that have already run the DOL labor certification process for comparable roles, meaning they understand the cost and timeline before you bring it up.
What does the PERM labor certification require from my employer?
PERM requires your employer to conduct a supervised recruitment process proving no qualified U.S. workers are available for the role. They must document job postings, review applications, and submit the results to DOL. The position's duties and minimum education requirements must be genuinely tied to the job, not inflated to exclude U.S. candidates. An immigration attorney typically manages this process on the employer's behalf.
Can I switch employers after my green card sponsorship is underway?
You can port your I-140 priority date to a new employer if your petition has been approved for at least 180 days and the new role is in the same or a similar occupational classification. Executive search, talent management, and related human capital roles generally fall under the same SOC codes, so same-field moves typically qualify under AC21 portability rules without restarting the PERM process.
