With biopharma layoffs continuing into 2025 after an estimated 24,000 positions were cut last year, there are likely plenty of people looking for their next opportunities. However, the most recent BioSpace data show job posting activity did not pick up at year’s end.

There were 8% fewer job postings live on the BioSpace website in December than in November, matching November’s month-over-month decline from October. December also showed a year-over-year decline, with 16% fewer positions live on BioSpace last month than in December 2023. In some good news, that year-over-year dip wasn’t as high as November’s, which was 20%.
