In the world of diagnostics and biotechnology, securing top talent is a race against time - then again - what industry is immune to this issue? Recently, we had an incredible experience with a forward-thinking client who decided to streamline their interview process based on our advice. The result? We successfully secured not just one, but THREE exceptional candidates for them, and here's the kicker: these candidates were about to entertain other offers if our client hadn't made the conscious choice to forgo an interview that wasn't 100% necessary. This story underscores a critical point in attracting talent for 2024 and onward: Flexible hiring managers have a significantly higher chance of attracting the candidates they desire. In today's fast-paced job market, it's all about agility and making crucial decisions swiftly. A good recruiter should be a well of information! However, I do not encourage hiring managers to lower their standards to a detrimental point. Let's embrace change and adapt our hiring processes to ensure we don't miss out on the incredible talent waiting to join our teams. #Recruiting #Hiring #TalentAcquisition #Biotechnology #Diagnostics

Head Hunter & Talent Partner in Scientific / Biotech Markets, Discovering exceptional talent for Start-ups & Scale-ups US and UK
🤔 How to get the best from your recruiter 🤔 I love what I do (most days 😂) however like with any profession, there are moments that challenge our patience and perseverance. Today I want to share an experience that shed light on the imortance of respect and professionalism in our field. Recently, I was working diligently to help a small start-up expand their executive leadership team and hire 2 key roles into the business that would help the company achieve their next targets. I invested a huge amount of time, money, energy and resources into ensuring I found them candidates who were the perfect fit. However, the journey took an unexpected turn as the client began to waiver, displaying a lack of communication and inconsistency in their communication. Despite the challenges, I remained committed to delivering the best possible outcome for both the candidate and client. I firmly believe that the recruitment proces should be RESPECTFUL and TRANSPARENT collaboration between all parties involved. Here are key points on how to work with your recruiter: 👉🏻 RETAINED / Exclusive - especially for your executive hires 👉🏻 Good Communication 👉🏻 Be Transparent 👉🏻 Don’t Ignore Ageny Advice 👉🏻 Set clear expectations This experience reinforced the value of clear expectations, open communication and mutual respect in the recruitment process. While challenges can arise, it’s our responsibility as recruitment consultants to maintain professionalism, advocate for our candidates and uphold the standards that define our industry. What have I learnt from this experience? To know my worth, I don’t just want to send CVs I want to partner with my clients to help them through the process and provide full support so they don’t come across badly to potential hires. Also that working these positions should only be worked Retained!!! Together, let’s raise the bar and ensure every candidate and client interaction is characterised by respect, transparency and integrity.⭐️ #Recruitment #Professionalism #Respect #ExecutiveSearch #Recruiter #Talent #StartUps #Biotech #Biotechology #LifeScience

Perception vs. Reality: A Glimpse Behind the Scenes! From an outsider's perspective, it's easy to underestimate the depth of what goes on beneath the surface in recruitment.

As Skip Freeman, one of the top executive recruiters, says, “Top talent is scarce- and it’s likely to stay that way. That means smart organizations do everything they can to retain their key people. If you’re going to persuade people to take on new opportunities, you’ll need to make sure that the opportunities you’re presenting are good ones… and woo them like they’re never been wooed before!” Remember, companies position themselves with top talent by making both a logical and an emotional connection. #professionalrecruiting #executivesearch #professionalrecruiting #recruiting #talentsearch #recruitingtips #manufacturing #supplychain #medical #engineering
