Sourcing Medical Affairs Talent for a Pioneering Pharmaceutical Company
Challenge
Our client was a global pharmaceutical company and a major player in the US market. Specialising in Neurology, and Oncology with over 10,000 employees worldwide. The project was to hire 25 MSLs across the US in less than three months, with a focus on four niche territories: St. Louis, Cincinnati/Columbus, Rhode Island, Orlando, and Jacksonville. This proposal required a strategic recruitment partner to meet this significant hiring demand. Our client was on the verge of launching a groundbreaking drug, necessitating the swift formation of a team to support the impending launch. The challenges included small territories, a niche therapeutic background, a restricted timeline, and tight budgets.
Approach
Our multi-faceted approach included the successful onboarding of candidates in under three months, creating a pre-live role pipeline of candidates, and an expansive sourcing strategy.
We leveraged a mix of applications, headhunting, direct messaging, and creative talent attraction to secure a large candidate pool for each geographic region. Our success rested on a deep understanding of the therapeutic area, extensive pre-screening of candidates, and adept negotiation of salaries. The synergy of these elements allowed us to navigate through the unique challenges posed by our client's specialized requirements. The solution provided our client streamlined and robust recruitment service allowing them to save time and giving them confidence for a successful product launch.
