My experience with Andris Consulting was the best I've ever had with a headhunter.
Mr. Andris manages to perfectly combine professional competence and human sensitivity.
Dr. Helena Eversheim
Chief Medical Officer / COVISA Software Services GmbH
I am Christoph Andris founder and managing director of Andris Consulting. I started this boutique firm back in 2018 after years of scaling the life sciences division for a major international consulting group. My time there made it clear that true impact in our industry requires the precision and agility that only a dedicated boutique can provide.
As a business graduate I have always been fascinated by the intricate market dynamics and the immense complexity of the pharmaceutical sector. Today my focus is exclusively on securing senior management and key expert roles for clients who cannot afford the risk of a failed hire. I protect your growth by ensuring every placement delivers immediate business impact.
Being an active member of Pharma Deutschland keeps me deeply embedded in the current industry discourse. I understand the regulatory hurdles and strategic shifts because I am right there in the thick of it with you. While the industry faces many challenges I provide a definitive solution to the most critical one: identifying and securing the top performers who will shape your future.
When I am not navigating the talent market you might find me setting new personal records on my bike or playing guitar with my band. I also dedicate time to volunteering where I help young professionals find their footing in the job market.
Shall we discuss how we can secure the leadership your company needs for its next phase of growth?
We had reached a standstill in the German market with our existing recruitment partners. Thanks to his extensive network Christoph Andris delivered the right solution in record time. I can recommend him without reservation as a top tier executive search partner.

Challenges in Filling Key Leadership Roles
within the Pharmaceutical & Life Sciences Industry
1
Unfilled key positions cost millions
Companies know too little about the motivations, expectations and alternative offers of their candidates.
If the needs of candidates are not taken into account and processes are lengthy, offers will be rejected.
2
Complex industry requirements
Standard processes ignore the real reasons top talent is changing jobs. If expectations regarding culture and working conditions aren't precisely understood beforehand, contracts fall through at the last minute. This costs you months of valuable time.
3
Expensive misappointments at the C-level
Nearly 40 percent of external managers fail within the first 18 months. This is almost never due to a lack of expertise. A manager from Big Pharma often doesn't work in an agile biotech environment. A lack of cultural fit ruins team dynamics and drives turnover.
4
Flying blind in the passive market
Companies often fish in the wrong pond and only see those actively searching for jobs. The crucial talent pool for mission-critical positions doesn't read job postings. Without direct access to passive candidates, every hiring decision remains a pure gamble.
Andris Consulting guided me with exceptional competence and empathy from the initial dialogue all the way to the final agreement ensuring a truly successful match. I have quite simply never experienced this level of professionalism before.
