Pharmaceutical & Biotechnology

Evolve has decades of experience in sourcing pharmaceutical and biotechnology expertise to drive research projects forward and meet critical manufacturing deadlines

Research

Project growth in the Australian Pharmaceuticals and Biotechnology markets is prolific, particularly in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic. Many manufacturers have significantly ramped-up their workforce size to meet growing consumer vaccination demand; and demand for highly specialised staff has grown accordingly.

The highly niche nature of the Biotech and Pharmaceuticals industries, coupled with the need for technologically-adept candidate backgrounds means that accurate sourcing needs to be timely, and with a clear understanding of the company’s strategy.

With such a rapid growth rate, the local Australian candidate market alone cannot sustain the demand for talent in the pharmaceuticals and biotechnology space. As part of NES Fircroft, Evolve has access to international scientific personnel which ensures businesses are able to bridge their talent gap.

Our staffing expertise spans the entire pharmaceutical and biotechnology project life-cycle to deliver rapid, reliable professionals

Research

International scientific candidate reach: Exceptionally specialised staff are not always readily available in the open candidate market. Our specialist team will leverage our combined Group reach to source niche candidates on a global level and tap into the passive market.

Large talent pools: Large organisations need volume numbers of highly qualified professionals and a dependable talent pipeline - there are few staffing agencies who can match the breadth and scope of Evolve’s candidates; we have supported several of our clients for many years and have contractor numbers in triple digits.

Industry understanding: Our talent networks keep track of the ever-changing legislation in all the regions in which a company wishes to develop and distribute its products, and will advise on legal / scientific restraints and requirements to ensure that your operations remain compliant and safe.

Comprehensive staffing support: We’ll source candidates for early-stage development phases, through to clinical research, into manufacturing and commercial phases. Our staffing solution moves with you to ensure you have the candidates you need through every project phase.

Unrivalled contractor care: Whilst talent attraction is crucial, talent retention is imperative in achieving a sustainable operation and meeting project deadlines. Our dedicated contractor care ensures that professionals are supported at all stages of their assignment so they can concentrate on the job at hand and complete their agreed contract.
