You've got questions...

We've got answers! It's a very mutually-beneficial thing we've got going on here.

What are the unique challenges of recruiting in the life sciences?

Recruiting in the life sciences faces several unique challenges. The industry requires highly specialized professionals, from clinical researchers to regulatory affairs experts, and there's a significant shortage of candidates with the right expertise. The regulatory environment is also a major hurdle, as all hires must be knowledgeable about complex standards from organizations like the FDA and EMA. Long and costly hiring cycles are common, driven by the need to verify credentials and ensure a proper skills-based fit. Furthermore, the rapid pace of technological innovation, including advancements in AI and data analytics, means that recruiters must find candidates with a rare blend of scientific and digital skills.

How do you verify credentials for scientific and medical roles?

Verifying credentials for scientific and medical roles is a meticulous process that is crucial for compliance and patient safety. For physicians and medical professionals, this is often done through primary-source verification. This means directly contacting the institutions that issued the credentials, such as medical schools, residency programs, and licensing boards. Organizations like the American Board of Medical Specialties (ABMS) and the Federation Credentials Verification Service (FCVS) provide centralized, primary-source verified databases. For scientific roles, recruiters will often verify degrees with educational institutions and contact previous employers to confirm a candidate’s experience and expertise. Professional references are also essential to gain insight into a candidate’s practical application of their knowledge and their ethical conduct.

What is the demand for talent in biotech vs. pharma?

The demand for talent in biotech versus pharma reflects the distinct cultures and priorities of each sector. The biotech industry is often characterized by a faster-paced, more entrepreneurial environment. The demand is typically for highly specialized professionals who can work on cutting-edge research, such as in gene editing or personalized medicine. These companies often seek experts in bioinformatics, computational biology, and cellular engineering. In contrast, pharmaceutical companies are generally larger, more established organizations. The talent demand here is broader and more focused on large-scale operations, including roles in clinical trials, regulatory affairs, manufacturing, and marketing. While both industries are highly competitive, biotech often offers the allure of groundbreaking discoveries and significant equity, while pharma can provide greater job stability and more structured career paths.

What is the average time-to-fill for life sciences roles?

The average time-to-fill for life sciences roles can vary significantly, but it is generally longer than in other industries due to the need for highly specialized skills and credentials. While some data suggests an average of around 60 days, other reports put the average time-to-fill for non-executive life sciences positions at around 105 days, or about three and a half months. Highly niche or senior-level roles can take even longer. This extended timeline is a key challenge for companies in the sector, as it can lead to project delays, increased costs, and the risk of losing top talent to competitors with faster hiring processes.

How does Loxo ensure data accuracy?

Loxo has dedicated teams and departments that focus on validating and updating data. We don’t rely on customer imports or potentially inaccurate third-party sources. Generally speaking, you can trust Loxo’s independently-verified data even more than your own historical database — which is likely full of manually imported data that may contain errors or be outdated.
