Most of the times we are looking at the overqualified person getting bored at the job and will jump ship once they have better opportunity. Yet have we ever try to look at the hiring manager instead? The overqualified person might be a great asset to the organisation. A clear growth path must be communicated to the person that he/she will achieved once they have proven their worth with their wealth of experience. Yet the most difficult obstacle is if the hiring manager is able to accept the fact that candidate might one day or even in a short term outrank them (maybe a boss or even the boss of the boss of them)? If the hiring manager is able to overcome this personal obstacle, the organisation actually gained 2 value employees. An experienced employee who will bring value to the organisation and a hiring manager who has a big heart and will go far in the organisation one day!

Thank you for participating in last week's poll about JOB SEARCH trends in #medicalaffairs and #pharma. Over half of you WISH for a shorter interview process in 2024. Another 1/3 hope for a reduced number of total interviews. Some of you also want to return to in-person final interviews. As recruiters, we are committed to making the process as seamless as possible (we control what we can control!). Give this post a "Like" if you want to encourage hiring managers to speed things up! #pharmacist #phd #medicalscienceliaison #pharmajobs #biotech

As a headhunter for the life sciences industry, it is important to structure the interview process efficiently. A well-structured process ensures that each stage is completed in a timely manner and candidates do not get left waiting for too long. Having a structured process also helps to maintain consistency and fairness when assessing potential candidates. This means that each candidate can be judged on their individual merits, rather than one candidate having an advantage due to a longer or even more recent and fresh period of assessment. #LifeSciences #Recruiting #JobSeeking
