Rapid Staffing Solution for Oncology Clinical Trial

Background

Vita Global Sciences (VGS) specializes in providing tailored professional services for life sciences companies. Our client, a leading pharmaceutical company, had an urgent need for a Clinical Research Associate (CRA) with specific oncology experience in a particular region. Given the complexity and specificity of the role, the client required a quick turnaround to avoid delays in their clinical trials.

Challenge

The client faced a critical staffing shortage, which threatened to disrupt the progress of an important oncology trial. They needed a highly experienced CRA with oncology expertise, located in a specific region, and available to start as soon as possible. The client also had a very tight timeline to review and interview candidates, adding to the challenge.

Solution

Leveraging our extensive network and deep industry expertise, VGS acted swiftly. Within 24 hours, we identified several qualified candidates with the precise oncology experience required by the client. The client began interviewing immediately and, over the course of four days,
completed interviews with the shortlisted candidates. Ultimately, the client selected a highly qualified candidate who accepted the offer and was able to start within two weeks. Notably, the client was so impressed by the caliber of the candidates that they remarked they would have hired all of them if possible.

Results

The candidate seamlessly integrated into the client’s team, keeping the trial on schedule. Two months later, the client returned with an additional request for another CRA. VGS re-engaged three of the original interviewees, and once again, the client quickly extended an offer to one of them. This candidate accepted and started within nine days, providing further continuity and support for the client’s clinical operations.
