Recruit Talent

Looking to recruit remarkable talent? BioHub is dedicated to not only connecting qualified life science professionals with employers, but also to developing the state’s workforce.

Maryland’s ranks number one in research and development contract awards, has twice the number of federal laboratories of any other state, and sits among the very best in the nation when it comes to level of education. The key to successfully building the best workforce possible is through education and experience – and Maryland has both. Boasting 14 public and 14 private universities, 16 community colleges and a bevy of trade schools, Maryland ranks sixth in the country with 271,900 enrolled college and graduate students. It is safe to say the Old Line State has no shortage of prospective talent in the pipeline. Ranking first in the nation for federal research grant awards and third for number of life science companies, Maryland is the hotbed for life science experts and innovation.

Commitment to Equality

As we strive to improve the Maryland workforce, the state of Maryland encourages all companies to commit to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in their hiring process. Organizations that value different cultures, backgrounds, and abilities have higher employee satisfaction and retention rates, have increased productivity, and are more profitable. A comprehensive DEI policy helps connect employees of diverse backgrounds and fully utilize the experiences of all toward a more unified workplace.

The state offers a variety of resources including an educational packet to help your organization build a DEI framework. The framework serves as a foundation from which formal mechanisms such as practices and policies can be built. In support of the framework, you will learn how to make culturally relevant decisions, support diverse communities, communicate intentionally and inclusively, and digitize inclusive excellence.
