Latvia

We have been active in the Latvian market for over a decade and have earned a strong reputation as a trusted partner in life sciences recruitment. Drawing on our deep sector expertise and knowledge of the local market, we are able to consistently deliver high-quality recruitment services—even in a highly competitive and evolving landscape.

Latvia currently accounts for 30% of all our placements across the Baltic States, with the majority of demand coming from commercial roles in Riga. Sales and marketing together represent 63% of our placements in Latvia—37% in marketing and 26% in sales. Medical affairs and market access account for 16% and 11% respectively, while we have also made placements in clinical research (5%) and pharmacovigilance (5%).

Recruitment in Latvia presents increasing challenges due to a growing skills gap. Both our experience and various studies confirm that qualified candidates are difficult to find—especially outside of Riga, but increasingly within the capital as well. Despite a rising number of vacancies, employers continue to struggle to fill key roles. As a result, companies are often compelled to offer more competitive salary packages to attract and retain top talent.
