DEL MAR, CA – May 29, 2026 – Surf Search, a life sciences recruiting and executive search firm, today announced that Forbes has named the company to America’s Best Professional Recruiting Firms 2026, where it ranked #170 in the nation. The list is produced by Forbes in partnership with Statista, based on independent surveys of external recruiters, in-house hiring managers, and job seekers across the United States.
What sets Surf Search apart is the depth of its focus. The firm works exclusively in the life sciences, recruiting across biotech, pharmaceutical, medical device, healthcare, hospital, physician, and scientific roles, and fills positions ranging from staff level through senior leadership. Headquartered in Del Mar, California, and supporting clients in more than 35 markets nationwide, Surf Search deliberately works with a limited roster of clients at any one time so that every search receives full attention, backed by a dedicated research team that sources and identifies candidates other firms can’t reach.
“Being recognized by Forbes means the most because the ranking is driven by the people we work with every day, the hiring managers who trust us and the candidates we place,” said Lindsey Bozzio of Surf Search. “In life sciences, the difference between a good hire and the right hire is measured in breakthroughs, and that’s the standard we hold ourselves to on every search.”
The Forbes and Statista methodology evaluates recruiting firms across dimensions such as service quality, candidate experience, and client satisfaction, with final selections drawn from thousands of independent survey responses. Recognition on the list is widely regarded as one of the most credible third-party endorsements a recruiting firm can receive, because it reflects the firsthand experience of the recruiters, employers, and candidates who know the firm best.
Surf Search’s strength is rooted in the scientific fluency of its team, whose backgrounds span medical genetics research, clinical science, and specialized medical media. That technical literacy allows the firm’s recruiters to evaluate highly specialized candidates on substance rather than keywords, and to guide clients and candidates through every stage of the process, from interview preparation and scheduling to offer negotiation, relocation, and onboarding support.
“We’ve never tried to be everything to everyone,” Bozzio added. “We go deep in one world, life sciences, and this recognition tells us that focus continues to pay off for our clients and candidates alike.”
