HiddenClient

Your next MedTech client just posted a job for a Regulatory Affairs Manager.

Right now a device startup is budgeting $150K for a regulatory hire they are not ready for. Every morning by 7am we send you the companies that just posted RA and QA roles, with decision-maker contacts and outreach already drafted.

Our first client got 109 qualified leads across 88 companies in six weeks. Read the case study

Why a Regulatory Affairs Manager posting is your best lead signal

A device or biotech company posting for a Regulatory Affairs Manager just told you three things. Budget is approved. The need is public. Nobody is hired yet. Most early-stage companies run on consultants for years before the first RA/QA hire sticks, so that posting is your opening, not a closed door. We filter out staffing agencies, recruiters, reposted ghost listings, and other consulting firms posting the same titles. What lands in your inbox is companies you can actually win.

What a lead looks like

Regulatory Affairs Manager

Kestrel Medical

Kestrel Medical is a 30-person startup building a wearable cardiac monitor. We are preparing our first 510(k) submission and need a Regulatory Affairs Manager to own FDA strategy, stand up our quality system for ISO 13485, and get design control documentation ready before our audit.

Why this is a lead:

They just budgeted $130K to $180K a year for regulatory leadership at a company with one submission on the calendar. Everything in that posting, the 510(k), the quality system, design controls, is standard consulting scope at $5K to $25K a month. A 30-person startup rarely has full-time RA work once the submission clears. Reply this week and you are the alternative before the search gets serious.

Sound familiar?

  1. 1

    Referrals from investors and old colleagues built the practice, then they go quiet for a quarter.

  2. 2

    By the time a startup asks around for a consultant, three firms with FDA credentials are already in the room.

  3. 3

    RAPS events and LinkedIn posts build the name, but they do not tell you who needs a 510(k) strategy this month.

  4. 4

    Founders put off regulatory until a submission or audit forces it, and by then the job is already posted.

  5. 5

    Every RA posting you never saw is a $10K-a-month retainer that went to a salary instead.

The math: hiring vs. your firm

Hiring full-time

Full-time RA/QA Director

$130K-$180K first year

  • 60 to 90 day recruiting timeline
  • Benefits cost on top of salary
  • Single point of failure
  • Stuck with headcount when things slow down

Your firm instead

RA/QA Consultants

$5K-$25K/month

A pre-revenue device company does not need forty hours a week of regulatory leadership. They need a submission strategy, a quality system that passes audit, and someone who has been through FDA before. Your firm delivers that for a fraction of the salary they just budgeted, and you can start next week instead of after a 90-day search for talent that is scarce everywhere.

See the leads in your market before you pay for anything.

We'll run the real engine on your market, free, for seven days. Real reports, real postings, real contacts. Then it stops.

One firm per market

We only work with one ra/qa consultant firm per market.

Every lead in your market goes to you and nobody else. When your metro is taken, we turn the next firm away. That keeps the leads worth having, and it's the honest reason to decide before a competitor does.

$497 a month. That's the whole pricing page.

Daily Lead Delivery

$497/month

Every morning: the companies that just posted for a role you replace, with the decision-maker's contact and outreach drafted in your voice. No setup fee. No contract, cancel anytime. And one firm per niche per market. If you're the fractional CFO firm in Denver, nobody else gets Denver fractional CFO leads.

60-day money-back guarantee. Not satisfied? Full refund, no questions asked.

One client covers years of this. One owner's rep project, one CFO retainer, one managed IT contract. Any single one pays for Hidden Client many times over.

Frequently asked questions

They posted a full-time job. Why would they hire us instead?

Because that is how this industry already works. Most device and biotech startups run on consultants for years before the first RA/QA hire sticks. A director runs $130K to $180K plus benefits, good RA people are hard to land, and postings stay open 30 to 60 days. That window is yours. You are not talking them out of the hire, you are getting the submission moving while the seat sits empty.

How do you avoid ghost jobs and reposts?

We watch postings nightly on LinkedIn and the hiring systems companies post through, like Greenhouse, Lever, and Ashby. Listings that keep getting reposted, sit stale for months, or come from staffing agencies and recruiters get filtered out before they reach you. Every lead shows when the posting went up and why it scored, so you can judge it yourself.

How many leads will I actually get?

Most mornings 2 or 3. Some mornings 6, some mornings 1. RA and QA postings cluster in life-science hubs, but we watch nationally, and this work sells fine over Zoom. Our first client, an owner’s rep construction firm, got 109 qualified leads across 88 companies in six weeks. We would rather send you two companies worth calling than pad the list.

What does the outreach look like, and who sends it?

You send it, from your own inbox. Each lead comes with an email drafted in your voice that references the exact posting, like the ISO 13485 line in a Quality Manager listing. It includes the decision-maker’s name, title, LinkedIn, and a verified email when we find one. Copy it, tweak it, or rewrite it.

Do you work with other RA/QA consulting firms in my market?

No. One firm per niche per market. If you take the RA/QA consulting spot in your market, the companies we find there go to you and nobody else.

What is the risk if it does not work?

Not much. We will run the engine free for 7 days first, real reports, then it stops unless you sign up. After that it is $497 a month, no setup fee, no contract, cancel anytime, with a 60-day money-back guarantee. One signed retainer at even $5K a month pays for the whole year in the first five weeks.

From the Founder

Why I built this

I built Hidden Client because I kept seeing the same thing: a company posts a job, interviews for two months, and the firm that could have done the work never hears about it. That felt fixable with software, so I fixed it.

It's just me here, and I read every reply. If your leads are off, email me and your setup gets corrected the same day. That's the whole support department, and it's faster than most.
