We solve the challenges of Science & Pharma Sector talent acquisition

Recruitment in the Scientific Sector comes with unique challenges. These can be addressed by understanding the most effective candidate sourcing channels for the sector and anticipating potential changes in hiring levels throughout the year. Eploy helps Science & Pharma Sector recruiters tackle these challenges and streamline their recruitment processes to achieve the results they need.

Which channels do Science and Pharmaceuticals sector recruiters use for sourcing candidates?

Organisations within the Science/Pharmaceuticals sector heavily rely on their Careers Sites (94%), as well as Professional Social Networks, such as LinkedIn (87%), for finding skilled candidates. Employee Referrals (80%) are also widely used for sourcing talent in the sector.

The reliance on agencies to fill vacancies in the in-house Science & Pharma sector recruitment has reduced significantly from last year. Dropping from 63% in 2023 to 50% in 2024. Although it’s a well-performing sourcing channel when it comes to candidate quality, the cost associated with this approach can have a major impact on a company’s cost of hire and may not always be the most effective use of spend.

Science sector Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) offer a solution which is more affordable in the long run, also giving hiring organisations more control over their candidate management.

Which candidate sourcing channels work best in the Science sector?

When looking at how Science/Pharma sector recruiters are succeeding with talent attraction, the Sourcing Quadrant provides an easy-to-understand picture. Specialist Job Boards provide the best quality of candidates, yet falls short in attracting a sufficient volume. Meanwhile, Agencies, Careers Sites and Professional Social Networks (LinkedIn) all attract a good balance of candidate quality and quantity.

Other channels, such as Talent Pools/ATS/CRM also attract a good quality and quantity of candidates yet are only used by 44% of respondents.

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.

With Eploy’s Applicant Tracking System you get complete recruitment analytics built in. You can create customisable dashboards that measure and monitor, in real time, every aspect of your hiring process - even compliance.
