When new jobs related to the expansion of the state, maternity leave, or dismissal of an employee, before pharmaceutical companies always face the question: how best and efficiently to fill the vacancies. Careers «medical representative» involve the study of a large number of resumes and candidates, which means significant time costs.Appeal to the Agency assumes the financial costs. So what to choose?
in order For the company to understand which option is most suitable for the vacancy «medprep», it is necessary to understand the characteristics of self-closing or using agencies.
The first step is to identify those qualities and skills that should be possessed by a medical representative. Of course, the company knows which employee she needs, but is not always able to articulate, and thus spends the extra time to work through irrelevant candidates. It is also necessary to determine which goals and objectives involves the work of a medical representative in the company – this element also affects the efficiency of the vacancy.
When working with a recruitment Agency in a precise and accurate compilation of the desired profile of the candidate, allowing for more to properly prepare a vacancy announcement for «medical representative» and weed out non-core candidates. For the success of this paragraph requires a high level of professionalism of the recruiter and understanding the recruiter — client.
Earlier in the article mentioned about the preparation of the advertisement for the vacancy of medical representative is an important stage, but in addition to drawing up a question arises about the placement and access to candidates responded. For a pharmaceutical company, which is engaged in the search for self, that means using free sites or fee for using popular job sites (sometimes this is comparable with the amount of payment staffing Agency). For companies that jobs «medical representative» give to the agencies, these financial issues are not relevant.
Search for medpeds is carried out in a variety of ways: ads, recommendations, candidates database, social networks and so on. If we talk about self-seeking, it is, as a rule, ads and recommendations. Data sources candidates require a more thorough study of the candidates. Contacting the Agency, the company will receive relevant selection of candidates for vacancies «medical representative», which are collected from the candidates from open sources, advice and database of candidates the Agency. This will allow you to see a greater number of worthy candidates.
discuss about relevant candidates, we must understand that if you work up a pharmaceutical company must be 10-20-30 interviews to find the right candidate for the vacancy of «medical representative». Referring to the Agency, the time spent on interviews with medical representatives, will be reduced three times, as will be shown madpride suited by experience, education and corporate spirit.
In the next phase after the interviews, as a rule, you should gather recommendations. Consequently, if the company is an independent search Hr Department should take recommendations. But there are situations where the candidate has not kept contact details of their managers or colleagues and a representative of the pharmaceutical company is required to spend additional time searching for these people. When working with a recruitment Agency, these recommendations shall be submitted upon request of the Manager – huge savings temporary resource.
When the decision about choosing a particular person for the position of «medical representative», it is necessary to control the process of writing an application for exemption if the person is still working, so he modified and successfully entered a new place. And there are two options: either the company is independently engaged in these organizational issues, or it performs the recruitment Agency.
an additional stage, but not least, this is the replacement. In the case that closing the job «medical representative» did the Manager of the company, in case of not passing the probationary period the new employee all of the above steps must be repeated. So, spend another time to view the CV of medpeds, conducting interviews and selection of a suitable candidate to work as a medical representative. By working with recruitment agencies, time to closure requires much less (have a tried and tested framework that better knowledge of the market situation).
to summarize, we can say that independent recruiting for a medical representative is essential for companies who do not have the opportunity to carry out paid search employees. In this case it is advantageous to conduct the staff selection process on their own, but expect high-class specialists.
Cooperation with a recruitment Agency will save time and money and get relevant candidates.
