Medix Partners with Leading Testing Services Provider to Overcome Samples Backlog

Even the most successful companies can face unexpected hurdles, and for a leading testing services provider, that hurdle came in the form of overwhelming demand. Despite their established global presence and comprehensive range of services, they were experiencing a surge in demand for their bioanalytical expertise. This rapid growth, while positive, brought with it a significant challenge: finding qualified talent to keep pace. The company faced a mounting backlog of samples and the very real risk of falling short of meeting their clients’ needs.

About the Client

• Leading provider of testing services
• Based in the Midwest with a global presence
• Offers a wide range of testing services across a broad range of industries

The Challenge

The client’s bioanalytical business was expanding rapidly, but the company was struggling to find the qualified talent needed to keep up with demand.  The backlog of samples was growing, and the company was concerned that it would not be able to meet its clients’ needs if it did not find a way to increase its capacity.

To address this backlog, the client turned to Medix, a trusted staffing company specializing in unique talent solutions across the entire life sciences life cycle.

The client chose Medix for these reasons:
