Client background
Our client is a small, commercial-stage pharmaceutical company focused on the treatment of liver diseases. They recently secured FDA approval in the US for their lead drug, and are also anticipating approval by the EMA soon.
Challenge
Their Head of Regulatory needed to hire a Global Labeling Director and a Commercial Regulatory Director to join their growing team. They wanted local candidates who were able to work autonomously and were also willing to come into the office three days per week. Their goal was to fill both roles by the end of 2024.
Approach
Dennis Partners kicked off these two contingent searches simultaneously in early October. We recruited and vetted candidates who fit the client’s qualifications for each role, who were also a good cultural fit for the organization. Within a few weeks we delivered multiple candidates for each position.
Result
Our client conducted video interviews with each candidate, and then advanced their top choices for onsite interviews. Once the client made their decision, Dennis Partners helped to negotiate offers with the candidates. For the Commercial Regulatory position we were able to secure an acceptance within 45 days from the start of the search. For the Labeling role we secured an acceptance at 62 days from the kickoff. Both employees were recently onboarded and our client was thrilled.
