Can RPO help me to elevate life sciences talent acquisition at my organization?
Yes! In the past, many life sciences companies relied on in-house talent acquisition teams, but critical skills shortages mean demand is far greater than supply. RPO partnerships go beyond transactional hiring and provide strategic insights backed by talent intelligence data to ensure companies can attract, hire and retain the life sciences talent needed to meet their goals.

Why is the life sciences industry affected so much by skills shortages?
The life sciences industry has grown at a rapid pace and demand for candidates far outstrips supply. There simply aren’t enough candidates to fill open roles in an already limited talent pool. And this is why many life sciences organizations have partnered with recruitment outsourcing partners and talent solution providers.
