The rapid growth in clinical research, particularly following the COVID-19 pandemic, has led to widespread staffing challenges across the industry. Experienced employees continue to leave the workforce, creating skills gaps that employers have found hard to fill. When you need to hire qualified people for your clinical research and development, where do you turn?
For many organizations, the answer is a specialized staffing partner that can provide a steady, qualified pipeline of talent across every stage of the development cycle. At Medix, we use our expansive network of quality candidates to source and hire top talent for clinical research trials, including clinical research coordinators, assistants, nurses, and support staff. Whatever your project needs, we can provide you with highly skilled professionals with expertise in areas such as data management and regulatory affairs.
Clinical Research Staffing Challenges
The clinical research sector has been hit hard by the Great Resignation of the last few years. Challenges of clinical research staffing include:
- Growing demand for clinical trials: In the United States, the clinical trials market size is projected to surpass $35.1 billion by 2030, increasing at an estimated 4.96% compound annual growth rate from 2022 to 2030. This rapid increase has led to a pressing need for skilled talent who can support the quality of these trials.
- Difficulty in finding skilled talent: Despite a 17% growth rate in the clinical research industry, organizations have struggled to find skilled talent, especially in the post-pandemic era. Employers have found it challenging to replace experienced employees who leave for various reasons, including burnout and a lack of development opportunities.
- Inefficient management: To lessen the impacts of hiring challenges, many employers chose to hire multiple vendors to handle different stages of the process. This has created an inefficient end-to-end process that’s costly to maintain.
