Our difference
Welcome to Gene Town, the hotbed for some of the most cutting-edge pharmaceutical and biotechnology careers in the world. It’s also home to some of the most vital, mission-critical searches for scientific talent. At StratAcuity, we can help.
What makes us different? Chemistry. When we say, “Chemistry is everything,” we’re talking about more than the necessary skill sets a new hire needs to succeed in their scientific careers; we’re also talking about the relationships you’ll have with your employees—and the relationship you build with us. We approach each assignment with passion and commitment. Because we get so excited about what you’re working on, it’s easier to find a candidate who is excited and eager to work for you.
You could say that recruitment is in our DNA. And, in this town, that seems only appropriate.
Methodology
The key to our success is our deep network—a local and national reach rooted in personal and lasting relationships within the scientific community. We are connected with the highest caliber candidates, with an eye for people trained at top labs and from first-tier companies.
We actively hunt for exceptional candidates who fit your openings—people who are open to opportunities for advancement, thereby capturing more than twice the amount of candidates accessible through passive recruitment methods, such as advertising. Additionally, we contact and recruit the majority of active candidates and certify them before representation. Using our extensive database, deep referral network, and proprietary recruitment methods, we capture the entire pool of candidates who are most relevant to your opportunities.
It’s a comprehensive, one-on-one approach that certifies high-quality candidates before their curricula vitae hit your desk. In short, we uncover people our competitors can’t. And we choose to represent only the best.
Our thorough and scrupulous recruitment process includes the following steps:
- Meet our clients. We meet our clients in person to learn first hand your company culture and the soft skills required to succeed.
- Know the opportunity. By obtaining complete job specifications, encompassing both hard and soft skills, we are able to better match the right candidate to your opportunity.
- Leverage our deep network. We start a search by assembling a comprehensive list of potential candidates from our deep scientific network to find the right fit for you.
- Conduct comprehensive interviews. We contact potential candidates to first understand personal drivers and soft skills. Only those candidates who possess appropriate personal drivers and soft skills are selected for a second interview. By conducting such a “deep dive” interview, we are able to certify the candidate for representation to your opportunity.
- Select the best. Only the best candidates are selected for representation. We check references prior to representation, meet candidates to ensure a cultural match, and convey complete information about your firm and the job opportunity before the CV hits your desk. We pride ourselves in the selection process. In other words, unlike the average recruitment agency, we’re meticulous to ensure long-term successes.
- Communicate actively. Representation starts with a submittal including the candidate’s reasons for interest in the opportunity and all logistical information pertinent to the candidate. During the interview and hiring process, you can rely on StratAcuity to actively communicate any and all helpful information.
- Facilitate the right hire. Throughout the process, our clients and candidates rely on us for professional and ethical advice. Our goal is to make sure you hire the right candidate. We endeavor to fully understand what’s going on in the heads we hunt and find candidates who are as passionate about your goals as you are.
