Staffing the Scientific Life Cycle: What You Can Expect with Medix

The life sciences industry continues to evolve. Today, organizations are focused on complying with old and new regulations, maximizing the scalability of their operations, and seeking alternative sources for capital. Perhaps the most critical area of focus is staffing. According to BDO USA, “… the life sciences industry may face a potential talent shortage. Demographic trends indicate the industry is approaching a wave of retirements, and there is a shortage of adequately trained scientists coming into the field to fill these vacancies.”

Life sciences organizations often lack the internal expertise, candidate relationships, and time to effectively recruit, hire, and onboard talent on their own. This issue will only be exacerbated as the market becomes more competitive. As a result, many organizations are partnering with a specialized scientific staffing agency like Medix. This enables them to focus on other critical aspects of their business, while open positions are filled quickly with qualified life sciences professionals.
