The challenge
A global leader in the medical device industry, specialising in surgical and sterile devices, had several members from their regulatory affairs team leave in a short period of time. This led to an urgent need for support to ensure they were able to continue their ongoing MDR transition and EU registrations. Without it, the company wouldn’t hit their deadlines which could delay their products being certified and going to market.
The solution
They reached out to EPM Scientific as a leading life sciences recruitment specialist, and after an initial discussion it was clear that contract resources would meet their needs in the best way.
Contract-based talent offered them many benefits:
- A much faster time-to-hire, allowing the client to meet tight deadlines without delay
- More scalability and flexibility, so they could keep the candidates if needed, keeping the team agile against demands
- Access to specialised talent, meaning they could find professionals who specifically work on MDR transitions and EU registrations within medical devices, reducing the need for onboarding and training when they start
Utilising our access to a vast network of top professionals, we sent over seven profiles within 24 hours of the initial discussions, with two of these going into interview that same week.
The result
These two regulatory affairs professionals accepted the positions and started with our client the following week, just 10 days after initial outreach and meeting their overall goal of continuing with their MDR transition and EU registrations without delay.
Both contracts also ended up being extended and they worked in the business for a further two years with great feedback, seeing the projects through to completion.
Summary
This partnership exemplifies EPM Scientific’s ability to understand the unique needs of their clients and select the best recruitment solution for them, leading to us matching top professionals with businesses, even in a short amount of time.
Our contracts team specialise in placing project-based talent across several areas within life sciences, including medical devices, regulatory affairs, and more.
