Science & Pharma Sector hiring challenges
Recruiters in the Science sector face similar challenges to other sectors, with scarcity of qualified candidates and limitations related to hybrid/flexible working as the top two named challenges.
In 2023, advertised salaries being lower than the market average was the second most cited challenge (30%), and this year it has only been cited by 13% of respondents, which is a positive change.
These candidate-related challenges highlight the importance of having an active metrics and analytics programme in place to report on the best-performing candidate sourcing channels, so this is worth bearing in mind when looking to address sourcing challenges.
