Company Description

GForce Life Sciences is the second multimillion-dollar company that founder and CEO Mark Gallagher has built during his long career in the staffing industry. Yet the five-year-old, Chicago-based GForce didn’t hit its stride until two and a half years ago, when the company tightened its focus on the life sciences vertical. Accumulating $17 million in revenue last year, GForce has mastered the art of professional matchmaking: pairing up employers with skilled workers for clients in pharmaceutical, medical device, and biotechnology companies.
