Elixir Consulting (A Gi Group Holding company)’s Post

Back in 2021, our Senior Director of Quality and Service Assurance, Alan Greathouse, wrote a column for Life Science Leader: 𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵'𝘴 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘙𝘰𝘭𝘦 𝘖𝘧 𝘐𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘮 𝘊𝘰𝘯𝘴𝘶𝘭𝘵𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘴 𝘐𝘯 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘓𝘪𝘧𝘦 𝘚𝘤𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦𝘴 & 𝘏𝘰𝘸 𝘋𝘰 𝘞𝘦 𝘜𝘴𝘦 𝘛𝘩𝘦𝘮 𝘌𝘧𝘧𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘷𝘦𝘭𝘺? Today, we’re witnessing a similar cycle to what we observed back then: layoffs leading teams to bring in consultants and contractors to keep the work going with fewer in-house staff. The workforce crunch was pandemic-induced back in 2021. But recent layoffs are triggering the same increase in demand for flexible and contracted workforce options. We’re hearing that many teams in RA, QA, manufacturing, and similar functions have had to reduce their headcounts recently—often without a commensurate reduction in project work. With a reduced budget and no authority to staff FTEs, we're helping teams augment their staff with full-time consultants to complete their projects on time and on budget. If you haven't read Alan's original column, here are the main points at a glance: 🔹 Interim full-time consultants accessed via staff aug offer a flexible solution when there's an immediate need for talent but not enough time (or resources) to undergo the lengthy process of hiring a full-time employee. 🔹 When you bring in the right consultant, these professionals can start working immediately while the search for a suitable full-time candidate is ongoing if you are looking to hire an FTE. This approach ensures work continues without delays, addressing immediate project needs. 🔹 A less common but highly beneficial strategy is using interim consultants to test-drive and refine new job descriptions for specialized roles. This real-world validation helps ensure that the job description accurately reflects the role's demands, improving the recruitment process for these positions. 🔹 Interim consultants can transition to full-time roles if they prove to be a good fit and the job description matches the role's real-world demands. 🔹 Bringing in interim consultants allows companies to better understand their needs for new and unfamiliar roles, reducing the risk of a bad hire. This strategy also accelerates project timelines by avoiding recruitment delays. (Our average time to deliver a CV is 26 hours.) 🔹 Beyond temporary help, full-time consultants are increasingly recognized for their ability to offer long-term strategic value: bridging skill gaps, spearheading/training new teams, and flexing up support during peak workloads. This makes them a permanent floating component of workforce strategies. 🔗 Read Alan's column: https://lnkd.in/g6y_ZbBH #staffaugmentation #pharma #lifescience

Over the past few months we have had more conversations from consultant Qualified Persons who are uncertain when their next assignment be, than I have seen since 2008. So it is an interesting market place right now and if you find yourself in this position, you are not alone. Yes this is a space we support and one we are busy doing so. I did however want to put this note out there to say if anybody who has been / is a contractor doing so, if part of you wanted to consider becoming permanently employed again to not be a stranger. Sometimes people tell me they would rather not mention it incase they are put in a box and no longer the go to freelancer to their recruiter thereafter. This is not the case. Well not at least at Hyper Recruitment Solutions . My note today to say if you wanted to consider this, and get the upside of long term security, broader benefits, and a singular company culture to really immerse yourself within, then I would rather you let me know. The last thing I want to do is disrespect people by direct inmailing on here with the "in the off chance" type message. So I am putting this out there for all to see. From supporting the space all through the last down turn, I understand this may not be ideal, and I understand if the market place was not what it is you would unlikely ever consider. However it is better to let you know I am here to help than not to know you have somebody on your side. There are a handful of permanent QP roles waiting for you if so. If I can help send me a direct message and we can book in a confidential chat. #RecruiterRicky #Pharmaceutical #QualifiedPerson
