Technology staffing firm, Engtal has launched a brand-new company to support clients with life science talent solutions. Biotal is the brainchild of Chris Atiyah and Mark Znowski, who also established Engtal in 2017, one of America’s leading technology staffing specialists.
After a period of significant industry growth, Biotal was founded to connect companies in the life science, biotechnology, pharmaceutical, and healthcare industries across the US, with the best talent in the world. Biotal’s client portfolio includes growing life science start-ups to Fortune 500 enterprises.
The life sciences sector is witnessing accelerated growth, unprecedented levels of innovation, and increasing demand for talented and experienced professionals; Biotal will support clients to access talent across the marketplace and to all aspects of the life sciences, biotech, and pharma functions.
Biotal is founded by Christopher Atiyah, founder and CEO of Engtal, a fast-growing staffing company specialising in tech talent. Christopher has over 15 years of global staffing experience, specialising in talent management services and is highly regarded across Europe and the US for his expertise in talent management, previously scaling one of the world’s leading staffing firms before embarking on building Biotal’s position in the marketplace.
President and chairman, Mark Znowski is an entrepreneur who, throughout his 20-year career, has worked extensively in the technology, finance, and energy industries. In 2003, Mark founded Staffgroup, a multimillion-dollar recruitment firm with global offices in the UK, Germany, and the US.
Leading Biotal is Alexis Hood, a life sciences recruiter with a micro specialist focusing on life sciences, biotech, pharma, and medical devices industries. Alexis is highly regarded for her solution-focused approach and has quickly become the recruitment partner of choice for global life sciences companies across the USA. Joining Alexis is Gabrielle Johnson, a highly professional and capable recruiter with a wealth of industry experience in the life sciences market.

With leading expertise in the sector, Biotal will support some of the most innovative and exciting companies to change the world. As a high-growth sector, this is an exciting opportunity, and I am delighted to appoint Alexis and Gabrielle to the team to drive us forward on this journey.”
