the situation
After partnering with Randstad Sourceright for RPO
around the globe in 2015, one of the world's leading
innovators in chemicals, pharmaceuticals and life
sciences was seeking ways to further optimize its
recruiting and hiring processes. Without standardized
candidate management procedures across regions
and locations, the employer lacked the visibility and
oversight it needed to ensure efficiency on a global level.
"As a professional organization,
candidate management is critical
to provide a positive candidate
experience. Having a global
provider with us is crucial as we
benefit from existing expertise and
the option for a global approach."

Previously, recruiters were overburdened with
administrative tasks – including scheduling interviews,
requesting travel arrangements and handling travel
reimbursements. As a result, their time on value-added
engagement with candidates and hiring managers was
limited, and without consistent processes in place, the life
sciences organization also lacked the control it needed to
manage costs and time dedicated to these tasks.
Following significant acquisition activities, and with
an expanding global footprint, the industry leader
recognized the importance of working with a partner
that had an equally strong global presence, coupled with
local expertise. As the employer is constantly growing, the
ideal solution would provide flexibility to adapt easily to
volume changes.
A solid approach to change management was also
critical. With many recruiters and hiring managers
impacted by the global transformation, the solution
also needed to ensure true process harmonization and
deliver a sensitive, yet effective, approach to internal
communications.
