Medical Affairs Direct Hire Staffing

Oncology Pharmaceuticals Producer

Client Challenge
Our client is a specialty pharmaceutical company and global market leader for oncology drugs, with products sold in over 50 countries across five continents and a direct presence in more than 20 countries.

Due to significant growth, our client needed to build an entire medical affairs team from the ground up. This team consisted of drug safety, medical information and regulatory affairs professionals. Having just established a U.S. presence late in 2001, the company had not yet gained the industry visibility and exposure needed to attract top candidates in these areas.

Exacerbating the situation, medical affairs professionals with targeted industry experience are in strong demand. The number of high quality professionals is limited in the client’s area of focus, creating challenges for companies seeking to fill these types of positions. Furthermore, in an environment dominated by large, well-known players, small to mid-sized companies need help in attracting quality candidates.

Our Solution
Having recently staffed medical affairs professionals for another pharmaceutical company with a similar focus System One used the information we had gathered about the industry and talent marketplace to the client’s advantage. A customized recruiting strategy was then implemented for our new client, capitalizing on the following;

Established candidate pipeline
Intense candidate networking
Niched sites and organizations
Sourcing from top companies with a similar focus
Skill set strengths of each recruiter.

By executing on the pre-established strategy, System One was able to identify top candidates. By working directly with Human Resources and hiring managers, qualified candidates promptly entered the interviewing process, resulting in quick placements. As the department developed, System One stayed in close contact with our client to remain aware of their changing needs.

The Results
System One successfully staffed our client’s entire medical affairs department consisting of medical information, drug safety and regulatory affairs professionals. System One has continued to develop the client relationship, and we have extended our permanent placement services beyond medical affairs. System One continues to serve other clients in the medical affairs arena offering high quality candidates. As a result, our team is extremely knowledgeable about the market, both in terms of how to attract clients and what skills are most valuable to employers. Our recruiters are involved in industry specific networking organizations and consistently have their finger on the pulse of the marketplace.
