Case Study: Our networking abilities prove invaluable for global biotech
The situation
Hobson Prior was contacted by the director of clinical operations at a global biopharmaceutical company based in Zurich. In urgent need of an experienced quality assurance consultant to assist with an imminent FDA inspection, he had exhausted his local network and local agencies had been unable to help.
Our actions
With the inspection two months away, the pressure was on; a negative FDA inspection can result in the suspension of an organisation’s manufacturing license. Immediately, our consultants began to contact their network of Switzerland-based candidates as well as Swiss candidates working elsewhere in Europe and candidates willing to consider a move to Zurich.
Whilst networking, we were given details of an individual with highly sought-after skills who was coming to the end of his contract. We spoke to him immediately, presented the opportunity and managed to secure his services at a rate that fell within budget. He was offered the position after a first interview and joined the client soon after.
The result
Over the following two months, our candidate was instrumental in ensuring the FDA inspection had a positive outcome. Following the inspection, he remained in the post to implement the actions proposed by the FDA. So invaluable were his contributions he was offered a permanent position, which he accepted.
