Honte Consulting provides pharma, biotech, and CRO clients across Europe with contract and permanent Statistical Programmers — technically evaluated by an experienced Senior SP. No keyword matching. No wasted interview slots.
Statistical Programmers for fixed-term engagements — from short-term submission support to longer-term arrangements.
Whether you face a submission surge, a gap in your existing team, or a new study requiring specialist CDISC expertise, Honte Consulting provides access to a vetted network of contract SPs across Europe. Every candidate is evaluated against the actual technical demands of your role before you receive their profile.
We take time to understand the study type, SDTM/ADaM requirements, programming environment (SAS, R), TLF scope, and regulatory context before we source a single candidate.
Every shortlisted candidate is assessed on SAS and/or R programming skills, CDISC implementation, and regulatory submission experience — not CVs alone.
We place at all levels of seniority. Senior- and Principal-level SPs with submission team experience are actively represented in our network.
We operate across the EU with an active candidate network spanning Western and Eastern Europe.
For companies making a permanent hire at Senior or Principal level, Honte Consulting offers a retained search service. We accept a limited number of permanent mandates and work only on a retained basis.
"When you engage Honte Consulting for a permanent search, you receive a technically validated shortlist — not a stack of CVs filtered by job title. The person evaluating your candidates has built SDTM and ADaM datasets, written macro libraries, and delivered regulatory submissions."
Contingency permanent placement — multiple agencies, no commitment — is not a model Honte Consulting participates in. A retained engagement allows a genuine, methodical search rather than a race to submit CVs. The result is a more accurate shortlist and a better hire.
Fee structure: Structured in three instalments — retainer, shortlist, and placement.
We agree scope, seniority, and fee. An initial retainer confirms commitment. We then take a detailed technical brief covering the role, team, and delivery expectations.
We map the European SP market for candidates matching the technical profile — including those not actively seeking, who represent the strongest senior talent.
Structured assessment: CDISC knowledge, programming methodology, and regulatory submission experience.
Two to four technically validated candidates presented with detailed assessment notes. We support the offer and negotiation process through to acceptance.
Operated by a Senior Statistical Programmer with extensive European pharma and CRO experience. Your candidates are evaluated by someone who has written the macros and delivered the submissions.
We do not forward candidates who cannot meet the technical requirements. Every profile presented has been assessed for CDISC compliance, programming methodology, and regulatory context.
Honte Consulting is a specialist boutique. We work with a small number of clients and maintain deep engagement with each mandate. You will always speak directly with the person running your search.
