Scientific Temp Recruitment That Works: A Real-World Case Study
Network Scientific Recruitment prides ourselves on delivering a recruitment service that consistently exceeds expectations. While many agencies make similar claims, we believe the best way to demonstrate our value is through real-world results.
Recently, we were approached by a biotech startup developing a new class of targeted cancer therapies. The company had found us online and never worked with us before. They were in a pretty desperate situation: an unexpected increase in lab workload, compounded by staff illness and absence, had left them without the support they needed. As a result, their Lab Manager was being pulled away from essential operational duties to cover lab work; an unsustainable situation that was beginning to impact the wider business.
The client contacted us on a Friday afternoon with their urgent request for a temporary Lab Technician to start immediately on a three-month contract. One of our consultants responded, immediately arranging a call to fully understand the role and the business’s requirements. Within a few hours, we had qualified the vacancy, agreed terms, and begun sourcing candidates.
By Monday morning, we submitted a highly suitable candidate with the required technical expertise and immediate availability. That same afternoon, the candidate was interviewed and offered the position. By Tuesday morning, they were fully onboarded and on-site, ready to support the strained lab team.
From initial enquiry to the candidate’s first day, the entire process took less than two working days.
From initial enquiry to the candidate’s first day, the entire process took less than two working days.
This rapid turnaround not only alleviated the pressure on the Lab Manager but also ensured continuity in the lab’s operations. What began as a short-term solution quickly evolved into a long-term success; the candidate performed so well that they were offered a permanent position after just four weeks!
This case is a clear example of how we operate: with urgency, precision, and a deep understanding of the scientific sector. Whether you’re a startup scaling quickly or an established organisation facing unexpected staffing gaps, Network Scientific Recruitment is equipped to deliver the talent you need, when you need it most.
