Business Problem

The positions within the Informatics department required highly specialized, expert-level skills, and the hiring managers had limited time available to dedicate to the hiring process.
Candidates provided via the current MSP program did not have the required cross section of IT, data science, and lab science skills, making it difficult for hiring managers to identify qualified individuals.
The client sought a staffing partner who possessed a comprehensive understanding of the life science industry and had the expertise to identify candidates whose backgrounds aligned well with their open positions.
The scope of work was often project-based making full time hire hiring incompatible and focusing primarily on consulting-based hiring support

Astrix initiated initial meetings with the client to gain a clear understanding of their requirements.
These meetings provided a platform for transparent communication, enabling us to delve into the client’s precise needs, preferred qualifications, and desired skill sets for the positions they wished to fill.
Through these interactions, we fostered a strong working relationship and established a foundation of trust with the client.
Devised a customized pre-screening procedure tailored to the client’s specific needs and formulated a comprehensive set of criteria based on their requirements, encompassing technical skills, experience, and cultural compatibility.
This procedure facilitated an efficient evaluation and shortlisting of candidates who exhibited the potential to thrive within the client’s organization.

Due to Astrix’s extensive experience in supporting the Big Pharma/Biotech industry for more than twenty years and capability to promptly provide highly qualified candidates, Astrix became a preferred vendor for departmental hiring needs
As a result, Astrix facilitated the client’s rapid expansion and aided their technological advancements and innovations by successfully filling fifteen high level consulting roles.
