🎧 Episode Title: The 2025 Hiring Curve: Biotech, Automation & What’s Next (Part 1)

What’s changed in biotech hiring since January? What hasn’t? And what’s next for lab automation jobs in 2025?

In this exclusive two-part episode of Science Means Business, Sura and Mike sit down with Ian Cooper & Chris Gaetani of BioMed Recruitment for a mid-year hiring check-in that every candidate and hiring manager should hear.

This week in Part 1, we cover:

💻 Why resumes are fading and video intros are winning candidates jobs

💸 The “compensation hangover” from post-COVID salary spikes

📊 Which biotech and automation roles are hardest (and easiest) to fill

🏢 The surprising stat: 37% of SLAS companies are still hiring in the U.S.

👉 And we leave you on a cliffhanger: Chris’s Hot or Not trend picks, coming in Part 2.

If you’re navigating the biotech job market, hiring for automation talent, or just curious how careers are shifting in 2025 — this episode is for you.
