Case Studies

A global pharmaceuticals company sought a collaborative partner with the ability to provide a high-touch solution and expand globally. Executive leadership required an optimised solution designed for their EMEA workforce, yet powerful enough to serve as the success blueprint for other geographies.

Our client is an industry leader in research-based pharmaceuticals and employs over 100,000 people in 116 countries. The company wanted to launch an in-house “graduate development program” to pipeline strong management for the region.

In 2013, UCB was planning a large expansion of its China operations over the next three years. Following the success of the two-year partnership with Hudson RPO in Europe and the United States, UCB asked Hudson RPO China to recruit 250 sales and 60 non-sales positions by June 2014.

After relying on 15 agencies for hiring, Bayer turned to Hudson RPO as its sole end-to-end recruitment outsourcing for its Australia Life Science business. The solution includes employer branding, recruiting technology, pre-hire assessments, graduate recruiting, and onboarding.

Hudson RPO implemented an end-to-end RPO solution, which resulted in an increase in the quality of talent hired, a reduction in the time taken to fill roles, and an overall improvement in the organisation’s retention.

AstraZeneca needed to transition from an expensive, decentralised agency delivery model to an optimised recruitment outsourcing model. They partnered with Hudson RPO for our scalability, strong cultural alignment, and track record in pharmaceutical recruitment.
