An Evolving Recruitment Partnership for A Global Life Sciences Organisation.

About the client.

Our client is a global life sciences organisation.

The challenge.

Adecco has worked with the client as a tier-one supplier for over ten years in an evolving hybrid recruitment partnership. Our service has seen us flexibly adapt from localised branch delivery to high-volume on-site delivery and wider national accounts.

With multiple sites across the UK, the client required a partner capable of sourcing a diverse range of contingent and permanent roles across various specialisms. These roles included administration, project management, cleaning, warehouse operations, manufacturing, accounting, engineering, maintenance, finance, research, strategy, cybersecurity, scientific quality assurance, and lab operations.

The client needed a supplier who could:

In addition to covering localised UK recruitment needs, the client was also looking for a partner who could work towards delivering for them on the global stage as part of an expanding relationship.

• Flex up and down to varied recruitment needs, adapting their delivery solution accordingly.
• Leverage their infrastructure and resources to support varied hiring needs, including niche and hard-to-fill roles, and volume hiring at speed.
• Offer efficient time-to-hire and cost-savings.
• Provide in-depth market intelligence to support a broader recruitment strategy.
• Offer robust legal support relating to IR35 risk mitigation and similar considerations.
• Utilise advanced data and analytics to drive improvement in the recruitment process and wider strategy.

Our solution.

Adecco manages recruitment across multiple UK sites, providing a tailored offering for each location based on hiring needs and how we can provide the most impactful solution. Our solution varies between utilising local Adecco branch networks and providing full on-site medium and large-scale support. We also leverage the wider Adecco infrastructure on a national level as needed.

Each solution promotes efficiency and a cost-effective approach for the client. We also offer dedicated, centralised account management for a consistent approach, including close monitoring of monthly spending, time-to-hire, and recruitment numbers.

Our solution includes:

Hybrid Recruitment Offering – Through one point of contact, we act as a tier-one supplier utilising direct delivery. We then take advantage of a robust supply chain of specialists to support fulfilment for niche and in-demand roles.

End-To-End Recruitment – We utilise our large talent bank to quickly source for critical roles and engage our wider team to conduct targeted advertising and headhunting. Through on-site and remote means, we conduct tailored pre-screening and competency testing as required. We also take responsibility for interviewing, onboarding, and redeploying contingent workers.

Data and Market Intelligence – We regularly provide the client with labour market overviews, focusing on relevant market sectors, competitor activity and talent shortages. This includes data for specific regional job roles the client needs to fill and skill availability in the local market.

Legal Consultancy – We regularly advise the client to help define their workers and ensure worker and supplier engagement is through the most cost-effective route. As part of this, we also recommend efficient technology partnerships to help manage workforces.

Over the course of our decade-long partnership, Adecco has consistently delivered for the client, solidifying our position as their preferred recruitment partner. Our ability to successfully operate within the specialist life sciences industry, covering a wide range of roles, has made us a trusted and reliable supplier.

We are currently looking at how we can support and align with the client’s wider strategic needs, including ED&I, sustainability, well-being, and tech development. As part of this, we are discussing evolving our service to a total talent solution covering additional EMEA markets. This includes adding value to our partnership through additional training initiatives, career transition, upskilling and similar avenues beyond traditional recruitment.

Key results.

• High fulfilment achieved through a hybrid recruitment offering
• Dedicated, centralised account management
• Evolution of service to include wider strategic needs
