Josh Needle, managing director - Life Sciences at Cielo, shares his perspective on the key talent acquisition (TA) trends impacting the pharmaceutical industry in 2023 and guidance for TA leaders on how to stay ahead of them.
Key insights:
- Set concrete DEI objectives and specify how to achieve them – a robust TA strategy can help.
- Hiring for skills rather than degrees helps combat the skills shortage by giving access to a larger talent pool.
- Change is inevitable, as seen from the past few years, so revisit the EVP and be more open about compensation.
The persistently fluctuating hiring market has left pharma companies looking for innovative approaches to finding and retaining talent. And one thing’s for sure – 2023 will bring its own share of surprises.
