The Top Tech Recruiting Agency Serving Boston: Finding Biotech, Robotics, and Engineering Talent.
Edison & Black is a technical staffing and recruiting firm serving Boston and Cambridge companies nationwide. Focused on biotech, robotics, and engineering staffing, we source and place top talent for Boston teams and beyond.
Tech Recruiting for the Boston Market
Boston's tech economy looks different from most other hubs. It's built on the overlap between world-class research institutions, a dense biotech and life sciences cluster, and a growing robotics and hardware engineering scene, which means the technical talent companies need here often has to bridge disciplines in a way that doesn't come up in a purely software-focused market.
Edison & Black works with Boston companies to find that talent. We focus on biotech, robotics, and engineering staffing, sourcing and placing candidates who can operate at the intersection of software and science.
Why Boston Companies Need a Specialized Tech Recruiter
Hiring for a computational biology role or a robotics engineering position isn't the same as filling a generic software engineering opening. Companies need recruiters who can evaluate candidates against real technical and scientific criteria, not just keyword-match resumes, and who understand the specific hiring dynamics of a market shaped by research institutions and life sciences funding cycles.
Our recruiters bring that context to every Boston search, whether it's a bioinformatics engineer for a genomics company or a robotics software lead for a hardware startup.
Hiring for Biotech, Robotics, and Health Tech
Boston's tech economy runs on categories that require real domain expertise. Biotech and life sciences companies need computational biologists and bioinformatics engineers who can work directly with wet-lab research teams. Robotics and hardware companies need embedded systems and controls engineers alongside their software teams. Health tech companies need engineers who understand the compliance and data requirements that come with building for clinical and healthcare use cases.
We recruit across all of these categories: software and platform engineering, data science, robotics and hardware engineering, and the computational biology roles unique to Boston's biotech sector.
A Local Presence in the Seaport District
Edison & Black is headquartered in New York City, with a co-working presence in the Seaport District giving us a real, local footprint in the Boston market. Our recruiters work directly with Boston and Cambridge hiring managers, understand the local research and biotech ecosystem, and source candidates who are already embedded in the Boston technical community.
Whether you're a biotech company hiring your first computational biology team or a robotics startup scaling your engineering group, we work as an extension of your hiring process, from initial sourcing through offer negotiation.

We have over 10 years of experience placing highly qualified technical professionals, and we bring that same rigor to every Boston search. That means real technical screening, not just resume matching, and a recruiting process built around understanding your team's culture and technical stack before we ever send a candidate your way.
