Mission

Simply, our intention is to become a trusted “go to” Search Partner and Career Advisor, respectively by the Clients and Talent we work closely with.

For our clients, we help them find, attract, engage, qualify, and ultimately land the highly sought-after Talent they want and need to hire. And, with Talent, we alert and introduce them to “on point” matches that help them actualize their career interests and aspirations.

Business Tenets

Burst
TRUST & CONFIDENCE

We embrace the belief that the trust we seek to build with our Clients and Talent must be earned by consistently generating results in a professional, consultative, transparent, and timely manner.

PEOPLE RELATIONSHIPS

We view and approach our business as a long-term people relationship building business, and not a short-term transactional business. We believe the ongoing success of our business depends upon our ability to develop, nurture, strengthen and maintain mutually beneficial relationships with the people in our proprietary professional network, i.e., both hiring contacts and candidates.

Managing Partner

Cliff Miras

Miras Search Partners was founded by Cliff Miras in 2022 with the aim to become the trusted “go to” strategic search partner and career advisor, respectively, by the clients and candidates (Talent) the firm works very closely with.

Over the past 20+ years, Cliff has built two boutique pharmaceutical and biotechnology specialty Executive Retained Search and Recruitment Firms that have been recognized as both a “Top 40 Life Sciences Search Firm” and as one of America’s “Top 250 Executive Search Firms” by Hunt Scanlon: he has done this with Miras Search Partners that he founded in 2022, and with Cornerstone Search Group that he co-founded and led from 2000 to 2021.

In addition to his accountabilities for building, leading, and managing the overall activities for these firms over the past 20+ years, he has also led the successful development of M.D. Specialty Practices that have helped early/later clinical development and commercial stage companies of varying sizes hire M.D.s at all levels for roles as CMOs, Therapeutic Area Heads, Global Program Leaders, Clinical Development Leads, and Global/US Medical Affairs Leadership roles.

Cliff has extensive hands-on experience planning, leading, managing, executing and completing Retained Search and Recruiting assignments from A to Z (from intake through planning, strategy, research, outreach, interviewing, qualifying, presenting, negotiating, gaining acceptances, and handling counteroffers, resigning and onboarding) for a broad range of positions, at various position levels and in multiple functional areas: Discovery, Clinical R&D, Program Management, Project Management, Clinical Operations, Clinical Data Management, Medical Affairs, Drug Safety, Pharmacovigilance and Risk Management, Regulatory Affairs, Medical Writing and others.

Our Strategic Alliances

Our firm constantly strives to improve, strengthen, and expand its retained search and recruitment capabilities for the benefit of all (i.e., our clients, candidates, and our firm too). We are a member of two selective Search Industry Strategic Alliances, which includes the Tinzon Group and the International Retained Search Association (IRSA). The members of these Alliances are highly successful and independently owned and operated Executive Search Firms based domestically in the USA, and internationally in Europe, Asia, and Australia.

All the search firm members of both Tinzon and IRSA share the same mindset, which is listen, learn, share best practices, new/improved searching, sourcing and assessment tools… to help each other continually improve.
