THE STORY BEHIND SCIENCEJOB

My name is Lilian Nilsson and I started ScienceJob back in 2008 with one simple goal: to bridge the gap between brilliant scientific minds and the companies that need them most.

What started as a mission to align talent with purpose quickly became something much bigger. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of helping incredible people find their place in groundbreaking organizations, and along the way, I’ve built relationships that go far beyond a handshake or a contract. Some of my clients are now trusted collaborators—and even close friends.

This passion for connecting science and innovation is what drives everything I do. So, if you’re navigating the complex world of talent acquisition, career development, or just need a fresh perspective on building a high-performing team, let’s chat or grab a coffee to explore how we can achieve success together.

VISION

To deliver an excellent customer and candidate experience based on knowledge, trust, honesty, respect, transparency and responsibility.

After years of working as a scientist in life sciences and witnessing the growing need for specialized expertise, I saw an opportunity to bridge the gap between top scientific talent and organizations striving to hire.
