Sourcing skilled science staff

Pharma companies are increasingly
relying on skilled contingent workers
|
A company’s success is ultimately the result
of hiring, mobilising and guiding exceptional
people' – and nowhere is this more true than
in the life sciences environment, where skilled
scientific' professionals drive tomorrow’s
innovations. That’s why your company needs
staffing firm' Kelly Scientific Resources to put
you in touch with the best professionals in their
field.
Kelly Scientific Resources is the leading scientific
and'
clinical trials staffing company in the world.
It'
employs more than 7,000 scientific professionals'
every day, working in contract and full-time positions
across'
North America, Europe and the Pacific Rim. The
company has'
spent years developing a reliable reputation,
an expansive'
network of scientific professionals and a skilled
team of'
scientific recruiters, to attract the most highly
qualified talent.
Global scope, local expertise
This staffing firm brings companies the best of
both worlds:'
international reach with customised, quality service
at the'
local level. It is dedicated exclusively to building
on its'
expertise, identifying and placing qualified science'
professionals across a broad spectrum of life
sciences'
disciplines, including:

Transforming talent management
During the coming months, as the world emerges
slowly from the'
global recession, companies will have to face
the challenge of'
ramping up their workforce in order to adapt to
improving economic'
conditions, while also observing their bottom
lines.
This delicate balance of labour costs and talent
requirements'
has traditionally been achieved through the use
of contingent'
workers. Although this strategy is considered
a viable way to'
control costs in a post-recession environment,
organisations'
around the world are now discovering additional
benefits by'
tapping into a growing pool of highly skilled
temporary workers.
Life sciences companies, in particular, are witnessing
a'
fundamental shift in the way the industry assembles
specialised'
teams of workers for specific projects, and then
disengages or'
reassigns them. Employers are looking for the
best talent and'
the most effective results to attain business
objectives as'
quickly and efficiently as possible.
Many organisations today are now forgoing traditional'
business models to develop creative staffing strategies,
such'
as increasing their contingent workforce relative
to the'
augmentation of their full-time employee base.
Skilled'
contractors have long provided temporary project
support in'
many companies, but many employers are beginning
to'
recognise the benefits of maintaining a permanent
contingent'
workforce in tandem with traditional full-time
permanent'
positions. Transferring full-time positions to
contingent-based'
talent is an emerging trend, and rapidly gaining
momentum.
Versatility equals velocity
Kelly's goal is to enhance greatly its customers'
overall' ability to remain versatile, in order
to accommodate their' demands for a more flexible
workforce that can adapt to any' environment.
Every company's success over time has hinged'
on its capacity to identify and respond to changes
quickly,' with minimal disruption to operations
or profit. By improving' its customers' 'versatilability',
the firm in turn helps to' mitigate many of their
related workforce challenges.
Life sciences organisations have been looking
for innovative'
approaches to lessen the structural costs that
are duplicated'
in pharmaceutical and biotech industries . and
a more fluid'
temporary workforce business model is one solution.
Many'
are seeking alternative ways to work together
and create'
solutions to get products to market more quickly
and less'
expensively. Workforce versatilability can significantly
shorten'
the go-to-market cycle.
Contract work is rapidly becoming a more popular
choice'
for workers and employers, so it is essential
for companies'
to have a strategy in place for developing and
managing a'
temporary workforce as a vital part of their overall
labour pool.
As today's life sciences workforce and economic
environment'
grow increasingly complex, organisations that
adopt flexible,'
cutting-edge solutions will have a distinct competitive'
advantage in adapting to the transformation.
