About Chay Carter
I have spent 20 years in recruitment across London, New York, and Los Angeles, and the last several years focused deeply on neurotechnology, medtech, and adjacent frontier markets. Carter Sciences is the result of that progression: a specialist firm built for companies making high-conviction hires in complex categories.
Before launching Carter Sciences, I built and led teams across executive search, contingent recruitment, and strategic hiring in sectors ranging from trading technology and private equity to life sciences and neurotechnology. What stayed consistent was the pattern: the most important hires are rarely solved by a generic process.
Why Carter Sciences Exists
Neurotechnology is now real operating territory. The companies that stand out are not just technically interesting. They are building products, navigating regulation, raising capital, shaping categories, and hiring under real pressure. That changes what good recruiting looks like.
Carter Sciences exists to give those companies a more specialist partner: someone who understands the market, knows how to assess builders, and can run search with the level of rigor that senior hiring deserves.
What Clients Value
Direct founder-led execution rather than a handoff model
Real neurotechnology market context
A stronger read on commercial, technical, and cross-functional talent
A process that is structured, calm, and practical under pressure
How the firm works
Carter Sciences is intentionally built as a specialist firm, not a volume model. Searches are run with close calibration, direct market mapping, and senior involvement from brief to close. Where ongoing support is needed, Embedded Talent Acquisition gives teams a practical way to build hiring capability without overbuilding internal infrastructure too early.
The firm also sits close to the wider neurotechnology ecosystem through founder interviews, market commentary, and ongoing relationships across operators, candidates, and companies. That proximity improves judgment.
If you are hiring in neurotechnology, the context matters
Carter Sciences was built for companies that need more than candidate flow. If the hire matters, the search should be run with market depth, clear judgment, and senior execution.
