AmyrisSalvador RiveraSr. Director of HR

“Helix has been a key business partner of Amyris since 2007. They have been instrumental in executing very focused talent searches and when-ever we have a very specific skill set we need, the best approach has been to engage Helix. Their quality is on par with the top traditional retained firms but their alternative cost models take into consideration a startup’s burn rate. If you have a very specific approach or need and care about your burn rate, you should contact Helix.”
