Why regulated hiring is different.

A wrong hire in quality or regulatory does not just cost you a salary. It can cost you a submission date.

Our consultants know which standards a candidate has genuinely worked to, which audits they have sat in, and whether their experience transfers between a device and a drug. That is a conversation a generalist recruiter cannot have.

It also means we can tell you when a brief is not fillable as written, and what to change, before you spend three months finding out.

Case study

Staffing a quality function against a submission date.

A device manufacturer moving to EU MDR needed eleven quality and regulatory hires before its notified body audit, in a market where everyone was hiring for the same reason.

01

The constraint

A fixed audit date, eleven seats, and a candidate pool being approached by every competitor.

02

What we ran

One multi-hire campaign with a single point of contact, contract cover bridging the permanent hires.

03

The outcome

All eleven seats filled before the audit, with two contractors converting to permanent.

“They understood the audit calendar better than some of our own suppliers”
