At BioTalent, we specialise in providing rapid, high-quality recruitment solutions tailored to the unique needs of life sciences organisations. Our expertise and personalised approach enable us to help clients overcome staffing challenges swiftly, ensuring they can continue their critical work without interruption. Here’s a glimpse into how we recently supported a U.S.-based diagnostics company in rebuilding their clinical research team during a pivotal time.
Key Stats
Roles Filled: One Sr. CRA, one CTM, one Sr. CTM contract role
Interview Efficiency: Only six candidates interviewed (two hours) to fill all roles
Timeframe: Critical position filled in just a few weeks, with a start date immediately after the new year
The Context
In the competitive field of diagnostics, innovation is key to staying ahead. One mid-sized diagnostics organisation based in the U.S. has been making strides by developing a ground-breaking blood test for cancer detection. As they pushed forward with this vital work, they encountered an unexpected challenge—a reduction in force that left their clinical research team understaffed at a crucial time.
The Challenge
The sudden downsizing posed a significant obstacle for the organization. With critical projects underway, they needed to quickly rebuild their team with highly skilled professionals to avoid delays. The organisation urgently required interim support to fill key roles in their clinical research team, including Senior Clinical Research Associates (Sr. CRA) and Clinical Trial Managers (CTM). Recognising the urgency, they turned to BioTalent, knowing our track record for providing rapid, high-quality recruitment solutions.
The Solution
BioTalent's partnership with the diagnostics organisation began with a clear understanding of their immediate needs. Leveraging our industry expertise and extensive network, we quickly identified and screened qualified candidates for the Sr. CRA, CTM, and Senior CTM contract roles.
Chloe, our lead recruiter on this project, played a pivotal role. Her deep understanding of the client’s requirements and her effective communication ensured that we were aligned with their expectations from the start. Chloe’s expertise allowed us to move swiftly, providing multiple strong candidates for the client’s review in a very short time.
Our streamlined process ensured that interviews were scheduled promptly, and within just a few weeks, the client was able to make informed hiring decisions with confidence.
The Results
The collaboration between BioTalent and the diagnostics organization yielded impressive results in a remarkably short time. Over the past six months, we successfully supported the client in filling three critical contract roles: one Sr. CRA, one CTM, and one Sr. CTM. Despite the urgency and the specialized nature of these positions, the client only needed to interview six candidates in total—spending just two hours to secure the right talent for their team.
Our quick turnaround was especially crucial for the client, as one of the critical positions was filled right after the new year, following a search that had only begun in mid-December. This rapid placement ensured that the organisation’s projects could continue without significant disruption.
"BioTalent quickly helped us rebuild our clinical research team after a reduction in force, filling three key contract roles in just a few weeks. Their expertise, communication, and ability to provide quality candidates in record time made all the difference. We highly recommend BioTalent for their personal attention and seamless recruitment process." — Senior Director, Clinical Development Strategy & Operations
