The challenge
The client was moving into an area its internal team had never built before. The initial request looked like a standard biostatistics search. Filling it on job title or keyword match alone would have left the underlying problem unsolved.
The project needed people who understood this specific work and could contribute at a much deeper level.
Our approach
CLS started with conversations about the project instead of a conventional search. Those conversations made it clear that the client needed more than a statistician. It needed someone with direct experience tied to this initiative.
Using our biometrics expertise and our network in the market, we identified professionals with the specialized backgrounds the project required.
The outcome
CLS brought forward a project statistician and a project statistical programmer, both with risk-based quality management and AI implementation experience.
At the time, that profile was especially difficult to find. We didn’t send more resumes. We helped define the requirement correctly and then found people who matched it.
