In the competitive Life Sciences sector, companies continue to face challenges in attracting and retaining top-tier talent. As a recruitment company, we see it time and again – qualified, niche professionals are in high demand and often have the luxury of evaluating multiple job offers simultaneously. One key factor that can cause companies to lose out on these candidates? Time to hire. The following tips, written by Camilla Fedi, our Senior Recruitment Consultant in Medical and Clinical Development, offer practical advice on how employers can speed up their hiring process and secure the best talent: ·      Provide timely feedback on CVs: promptly reviewing CVs and involving the hiring manager in the early stages helps prevent delays. ·      Active communication with candidates: keep them informed about next steps and expected timelines for the assessment process. ·      Timely interview feedback: ideally, aim to provide feedback within 48 to 72 hours after the interview. ·      HR involvement from the start: ensure salary approvals are handled early, so there are no delays when making an offer. ·      Open discussions about compensation: have honest conversations about salary expectations with the candidate early on to avoid back-and-forth negotiations at the offer stage.
