Success Story: CSO / CRO Research Associate, Pharmaceutical industry

situation

A company was looking for a wide range of HEOR/RWE research candidates from junior to senior level. They had been struggling to recruit candidates due to the limited number of people who fit the market.

action

Six months ago, we recommended a candidate who had high potential but lacked experience, but there were no potential hiring slots at the time and we were unable to make a connection between the candidate and the client. However, six months later, we received a request from the client who had started to consider hiring potential employees to approach them whom we had introduced to the client before. Since we knew that the candidate had just changed jobs, we informed the client of this fact and told them that the client wanted to consider them again, just in case.

result

Although they had just changed jobs, we told them that the client was interested in meeting with them again. They had just been worried about the environment at their new company where they could not expect to grow, and they were interested in going to another interview if there was a chance. From that point on, the selection process went very smoothly because they were compatible with each other, and we received an offer within about two weeks of our re-approach.

consultant's voice

We usually do not recommend changing jobs if you have just changed jobs. However, if you have a clear idea of what you want to do, or if you are convinced that the company you have moved to is not a good fit, there is no need to continue to persevere. Even after you have changed jobs, it is a good idea to keep in touch with agents on a regular basis so that they can introduce you to jobs that meet your needs at the best time. Having a meeting with agents is not the same as changing jobs, too. This is a branding, information gathering, and networking activity for you, so we recommend that you talk to agents from that perspective.
