The boom in Biotech investment has driven the emergence and establishment of a greater number of Biotech start-ups across Europe, enabling businesses to pursue their research and / or product development goals. The fast paced and competitive nature of this sector means that organisations need exceptionally specialised staff who are not always readily available in the open candidate market.
The highly niche nature of the Biotech industry, coupled with the need for technologically-adept candidate backgrounds means that accurate sourcing needs to be timely, and with a clear understanding of the company’s strategy.

Case Study
Improving Employer Branding
Our client: A Poland-based biotechnology business centring around the development and implementation of drugs.
The client sought to hire positions across:
- Quality Control
- Quality Assurance
- Biochemistry
- Research & Development
The client's hiring challenges
Retention: The client had lost a lot of staff in a short space of time and due to poor employer branding in the marketplace were struggling to attract new hires.
Lack of available talent pool: The Pharmaceutical candidate market in Poland is small, furthering the problem with their poor brand perception.
The need for speed: The client needed to fill a volume number of permanent positions to be ready to kick-start a major investment project. NES Fircroft’s demonstrable experience in supporting the Polish Life Science market meant the client enlisted our support.
How we improved the Biotechnology client's employer branding
We appointed a specialist Pharmaceuticals consultant to conduct their own initial market research and confirm the general public opinion on the business. Through working closely with all the Hiring Managers and HR, our specialist provided constructive and pragmatic suggestions to bolster their candidate offering.
Our consultancy resulted in:
- More competitive pay and a bonus scheme
- Financial support with candidates’ further education
- More comprehensive onboarding and ongoing guidance
- Better external communication regarding existing employee benefits
