Ellen Cabral, Sr. Director Global Marketing - PharmaronFAQs: Partnering with an experienced Life Sciences recruitment firm Whether you've partnered with a recruitment firm before of not, you may have some questions about how Michael Page Life Sciences operates. Here are our responses to some of the most frequently asked questions we receive around our process, sourcing, delivery, and services. How do you understand the technical requirements of each role? Our Boston-based team have years of recruitment experience, so we have optimized the way we work to deliver the best results. We’re well-networked within the industry and are always connecting with the movers and shakers. Our MassBio membership also reflects our commitment to keeping our finger on the pulse of the industry as it evolves. Needless to say, we are well-versed in the ins and outs of hiring for roles across the full drug lifecycle, no matter how technical or niche. How quickly can you recruit Life Sciences talent for open roles? We pride ourselves on recruiting best-in-class talent at speed. When clients are responsive and collaborate with us effectively, we can complete the hiring process in as little as 5-10 working days. We have access to an exclusive database of locally-and globally based candidates that we have nurtured relationships with over the years through various stages of their careers within the Life Sciences industry. Most candidates in our database partner exclusively with us, trusting our relationships and expertise in presenting to them their next ideal career move – one that aligns with their experience and aspirations. Often, we are also introduced to stand-out professionals through referrals from our networks. Our brand also pulls its weight; last year alone, our website received traffic of 3.5M, with conversions in the form of applications to the jobs we advertise on behalf of our clients. That’s how we can source viable options at pace, often presenting 5 top candidates for science-focused roles and 10 for more commercial roles. At the interview stage, we find that clients identify the right match after speaking with 2-3 of those candidates presented. What to expect once a partnership agreement is signed? We first get to know you, your business, and understand the specifications of the open role. We prepare an extensive job brief and commit to a deadline for delivery of a candidate shortlist. Working closely with you, we identify and assess candidates who will proceed to the later stages of the hiring process and provide you with at least two references for each of them. You will have a dedicated manager assigned to your search who will have weekly meetings with you to drive the recruitment process forward. We find that this is particularly successful in reducing timelines, which is essential to keeping top-flight talent engaged in your process. Once we do get that ideal professional identified, we facilitate the offer stage. We stay connected once you’ve onboarded the candidate. We schedule follow-up calls with both our clients and candidates at the 30, 60, and 90-day marks. Beyond this period, our Client Relationship Director is dedicated to building long-term relationships through regular check-ins with our clients and candidates committing our support in meeting their needs.

Steven Houben Executive Director, Life SciencesIn terms of competition for talent, this market is one of the most saturated. In Cambridge alone, there are several hundred biotech firms.
