The ideal regulatory specialist for a global pharma company

The situation 

When an international pharmaceutical company needed an interim Senior Regulatory Consultant for a Regulatory Information Management (RIM) project, the hiring manager was referred to our team by a colleague who had previously partnered with us. 

The solution 

The hiring manager had been searching for the right candidate for over a month without success. The role presented a particular challenge: it required expertise in a highly specific document management system and project management tool. 

Within just one week, we identified a UK-based Associate Director of Regulatory Affairs with two years of hands-on experience in both systems. This swift success was made possible by our extensive network. Our Regulatory Affairs consultant engaged with several trusted industry contacts, ultimately receiving a referral to the ideal candidate. Thanks to our long-standing relationship with the referee, we had full confidence in their recommendation. 

We reached out to the candidate to discuss the opportunity in detail and conducted a thorough phone screening to assess both technical fit and cultural alignment. Confident in his suitability, we submitted his profile and arranged a phone interview with the hiring manager. 

The result 

The client was delighted with our candidate, and thanks to our thorough screening, they were confident enough to offer him the job after just a 45-minute call. Our support didn’t stop there though: we provided the successful candidate with advice on starting the role and commuting, hired a management company to ensure tax compliance, and touched base with both candidate and client frequently to ensure a smooth transition. 

Having impressed the client with our resourcefulness and efficiency, we’ve gone on to place five more interim regulatory consultants with them in the same year.
