Case Study: Going above and beyond to fill an urgent contract position in 4 days

Our client was an international biopharmaceutical company, whose German site urgently needed a talented biometrics specialist to aid them in an upcoming project submission.

Their German in-house talent team had minimal experience with contractor recruitment so they turned to Hobson Prior based on our previous success in delivering candidates for niche skillsets.

The role required the candidate to be hands-on to conduct quality checks, reprogram datasets and format submission files for the submission. Due to the urgency, the candidate would need to get started with systems with minimal onboarding.

With timing key, we immediately conducted searches across our international database to identify available candidates with required experience. Our recruiters proactively headhunt and contact our contractors daily to keep our database updated so we were quickly able to highlight relevant candidates.

Within 24 hours, we were able to supply a list of available, appropriately skilled and pre-vetted candidates for this position, which our client was able to go through and select those they wanted to interview. Working over the weekend, we provided soft references, confirmed compliance and prepared the successful candidates that made it to the video interview stage.

The role was given to us late on a Thursday and by Monday, the client was ready to offer a contract position to an excited and qualified candidate.

Our role wasn’t finished there, we helped facilitate the onboarding, background checks and get the contracts in place and the new starter began their first day just 10-days after we were given the position to fill.

With the swift hire of our contract candidate, the team was able to submit their project on time, with both client and candidate thrilled with the experience.

Our client was so impressed with our dedication to meet their deadline and go above and beyond to deliver, they has signed exclusivity with Hobson Prior for their future life sciences roles.
