Client Hires National Team of Contract Pharmaceutical Sales Recruiters To Fill 500 Positions in 60 Days

TIME TO FILL: Only 5 business days!

INTERIM NEED: Our client is a leader in the pharmaceutical industry.  With three large product launches on the horizon, it needed to hire more than 500 industry sales reps over the next 2 months!  The client requested that we locate five (experienced, high-volume) pharmaceutical sales recruiters to work at designated locations throughout the country. In addition, the recruiters had to be immediately available to start and willing to work 50 hours a week (or more) in order to meet the looming deadline.  To add to Continuiti’s recruiting challenge, the requisition came in on the eve of the Thanksgiving holiday, when many people already had planned vacation and travel. 

INTERIM SOLUTION: Continuiti immediately mobilized and within minutes, had assembled a list of 1000 pharmaceutical recruiters registered in our network.  That list was split among recruiters, who then urgently conducted our trademark “who do you know?” executive-search-style recruiting effort, sourcing and networking with our national network of pharmaceutical recruiters to locate the expert pharmaceutical sales recruiters that our client’s project demanded.

Within hours, top talent was already being identified, vetted, and presented to the client.  Each candidate presented 1) had ample, proven experience recruiting pharmaceutical sales reps on a high-volume basis; 2) was committed to working the overtime hours needed until the project was completed; and 3) could commute to the designated location.  Hiring from the local markets not only eliminated the expense of travel and hotel stays, but it helped to ensure that each recruiter already had a strong network of contacts within the local community.
  

"This particular fill perhaps best demonstrates the value of using a super-niche firm.  While less-specialized firms would typically have posted these positions and then submitted resumes received from “high-volume recruiters,” “sales recruiters” or “pharma recruiters,” we were able to immediately start networking among our existing pharmaceutical recruiters and gave the client exactly what it wanted - resumes from proven, high-volume pharmaceutical sales recruiters.   And we did so without posting this requirement on Monster or any other job board. In fact, we typically don’t rely on passive advertising but upon performing targeted recruiting within our HR network to fill jobs.  Additionally, this client also had needs in multiple states, which can be a challenge for firms who lack Continuiti’s national reach. In this example, our existing network, combined with our well-honed networking methodologies, allowed us to “dig down” and start locating the right talent within mere hours of taking the client’s requisition."
