HIRING MANAGERS – WOULD YOU BENEFIT FROM PARTNERING WITH AN EXECUTUTIVE SEARCH SPECIALIST TO HELP YOUR MED TECH OR LIFE SCIENCE BUSINESS TO MEET YOUR RECRUITMENT NEEDS?

I had a great conversation last week with a hiring manager who represents a global Med-Tech business with a turnover in excess of €7 billion. He had over 120+ applications for a role he was trying to fill but he was not able to use our services, even though the applicants he has received don’t meet his specific brief. This seems to be a common theme, and there can be a real frustration among those in recruitment & candidates alike.

How can industry specialists like Prospect Health enhance your talent pathways in the Med Tech and Life science industries?

We offer a reliable and helpful service, becoming a valued part of the hiring process, championing you to the wider industry. We have the opportunity to develop great relationships with candidates, understand the intimate needs of our clients and then go on to find the solutions, introducing only the best talents for that particular team, hiring manager and company culture.

Many clients are looking to avoid hiring fees, however what could they be losing by relying on reactional recruitment, direct applicants or internal talent acquisition?

  • No specifically targeted candidates who meet their brief exactly
  • Wasted time of HR/TA and hiring managers interviewing candidates who haven’t been fully assessed or meetyour needs
  • You are only dealing with the 10-15% of the market looking at adverts and missing the best passive candidates who are excelling in their roles
  • You don’t have an industry specialist acting as your brand ambassador & engaging immediate and future talents
  • You are relying on that chance encounter of the perfect person applying, if they don’t you are not hiring the top 1% of your target candidate
  • Reduced revenues as you haven’t hired the ‘best in industry’
  • No pipelining of talent for future roles
  • From a candidate’s perspective there is often little or no feedback and the connection with that brand is lost when they are inevitably ghosted. (In fairness almost impossible task to give bespoke feedback to 120+ applicants per job!)

As a hiring manager ask yourself;

How effective is your existing recruitment process? Did it take too long? How many people do you see per role? Are you attracting the best talent? How long do those hires last in your business? How much time was wasted with under prepared or under qualified talent? What were the conversion rates per stage?

If the above questions are resonating and making you query your existing processes then be sure to let us know, Partnering with the right recruitment agency such as Prospect health can help you get great people into your process and help you grow your business.
