Identifying The Right Talent In Healthcare, Sept. 10  2015 

The war for talent has never been more fierce. New demands are being made on life science business managers, driven by the industry’s increasing specialization and complexity; stakeholder relationships are changing and becoming more important, while risks are more uncertain

Fortunately, the life science sector continues to attract top talent. But what is the impact of the changing environment on the process of matching talent to roles? What is the assessment process like now? How have criteria evolved over time to find the ‘right’ fit? What is the role of headhunters and in-house talent acquisition teams? As candidates adapt their public profiles in an increasingly transparent market-place, what are some of the dos and don’ts? In what direction can we expect the client / headhunter / candidate relationship to go in the future?

The discussion panel will be a moderated forthright and dynamic exchange and of interest to life science industry executives, private equity firms seeking to attract management to portfolio companies, as well as Human Resources and Executive Search professionals. Feel free to invite friends and guests to the event. We look forward to seeing you there..
