GTS Scientific leverages experience in Bioinformatics recruiting for a range of partners in industry from Commercial-Stage CAR-T companies to genomic-focused CRO’s.

Opportunity: 

Recruitment Project 1: Our client is a Commercial-Stage CAR-T company trying to bring their Genomic/Bioinformatics work in-house. The organizations previous solution was outsourcing their Bioinformatics work to different CRO’s. As their organization continues to grow and aims to become more dynamic, their team had their sights set on finding Bioinformatics experts coming from an immuno-oncology background.

Positions:

Research Scientist Bioinformatics – submitted 4 candidates, 1 offer made and accepted

Research Scientist, Computational Biology – submitted 2 candidates, 1 offer made and accepted

Solution:

Met with the hiring team to understand what they were looking for, why they had this need, and also what challenges they believe they had up to this point in the recruitment process. Understanding some of the obstacles the team felt they were dealing with, allowed the team at GTS to establish a recruitment strategy that filled both roles, while only submitting 6 candidates in tota to the hiring managersl. Having a small pool of engaged, and qualified candidates allowed the hiring managers for both roles to make offers that were accepted and bring on candidates who were targeting this exact type of opportunity.

Opportunity: 

Recruitment Project 2: Our client is a global Genomic Solutions company expanding their Bioinformatics group within their existing NGS division. Client mentions it is taking them 10-15 interviews to fill roles in this group.

Positions:

Scientist II, Bioinformatics Developer – 3 candidate submitted, 1 offer made and accepted

Sr. Scientist, NGS Bioinformatics Developer – 3 candidate submitted, 1 offer made and accepted

Solution:

Met with the hiring manager for both levels of Scientists that the Bioinformatics group was trying to hire for. These were new roles in this group with our client who is a genomics-focused CRO. Our client had interviewed 10-15 candidates for each Scientist position, with no offers made before engaging GTS. 

Our team listened to where the candidates came up short, and to understand what a candidate would need to bring to the table in order to be successful from the get-go. After screening a large handful of candidates, the team at GTS presented 3 candidates for each role, of which 1 got an offer and accepted, filling both positions.
