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.

The Solution

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:

  • Customized workforce solutions
  • Expertise in the life sciences industry
  • Proficiency in recruiting specifically for bioanalytical CROs 
  • Ability to thoroughly screen candidates for assay development & optimization skills
  • In-depth understanding of required technical skills as well as “culture fit” for a CRO
  • Access to a vast network of qualified scientific professionals

The Results

40+ candidates hired in just over 2 years

  • Dedicated Onsite Recruiter: Medix provided a dedicated onsite recruiter to work exclusively on the company’s hiring needs. This allowed the recruiter to develop a deep understanding of the company’s culture, values, and requirements, ensuring that only the most qualified candidates were presented.
  • Additional Recruiter Support: In addition to the onsite recruiter, Medix provided 2-3 additional recruiters to support the hiring initiative. This ensured that the company had access to a large pool of qualified candidates.
  • Backlog Reduction and Business Growth: With the increased headcount, the client was able to reduce their growing backlog and up its bioanalytical business across all skill sets and departments, including Sample Management, Sample Analysis, Method Development & Transfer, Project Management, QC, and QA.
