Successfully Placing a Bilingual Regulatory Strategist for a Leading European Biopharmaceutical Company

Uncover how Barrington James overcame prolonged recruitment challenges to place a highly qualified Regulatory Strategist, enabling a prominent European biopharmaceutical company to advance their project timelines and enhance regulatory strategies.

Client Overview

Our client, a prominent European biopharmaceutical company, was experiencing prolonged recruitment difficulties through their existing provider. They had been struggling for three months to find an ideal candidate for the role of Regulatory Strategist. The client's unique criteria included a candidate with 15 years of experience in the field of large molecules, a strong interest in Advanced Therapy Medicinal Products (ATMPs), and bilingual proficiency in Mandarin and English.

Challenges

The client faced several distinct challenges in their recruitment process. First, a prolonged search extending over three months had yielded no success, resulting in substantial delays in their project timelines. The intricacies of the position of Regulatory Strategist within the biopharmaceutical industry, demanding a highly specialized skill set involving expertise in large molecules and Advanced Therapy Medicinal Products (ATMPs), further complicated the search for suitable candidates. Moreover, the client's specific requirement for bilingual proficiency in both Mandarin and English added an additional layer of complexity, significantly narrowing the pool of potential candidates and making the quest for the ideal candidate even more challenging.

The Solution

After thoroughly understanding the client's needs and the importance of the Regulatory Strategist role, we crafted a tailored search strategy to identify candidates with expertise in large molecules, ATMPs, and bilingual proficiency. We sourced potential candidates through various channels and screened them rigorously.

Finally, we presented the client with a shortlist of candidates who met all the specified criteria, ultimately securing an ideal Regulatory Strategist.

The Results

Our efforts in addressing the client's recruitment challenges delivered exceptional results. We successfully identified the ideal candidate, a Regulatory Strategist with 15 years of experience in large molecules, a strong interest in ATMPs, and bilingual proficiency in Mandarin and English. This achievement was a testament to the efficiency of our screening and vetting process, which ensured the presentation of candidates precisely aligned with the client's requirements, ultimately saving both time and resources. The client's high level of satisfaction was evident when they extended an offer to the presented candidate within just one hour of the initial interview, underscoring the quality and efficiency of our recruitment process.

By conducting a comprehensive analysis of their needs, implementing a tailored search strategy, and carefully screening candidates, we not only found the ideal Regulatory Strategist but also significantly expedited the hiring process, ultimately benefiting our client's critical projects.
