Challenge
Challenge

To find a German-speaking pharmacist for a large pharmacy in Switzerland. The recruitment challenge is that the pharmacy is located in a small town, which is not a well-known and attractive place for relocating professionals. Also in Switzerland it is necessary to have the abilitation to work in a pharmacy (the master study is not enough) so that we can ask the MEBEKO (government office) to recognize the candidate as a pharmacist in Switzerland.

Solution

Our search was focused on German-speaking countries such as Germany, Austria, and we also conducted executive searches of specialists from our internal database who speak German and are interested in similar career changes.

Result
Result

We had to present a large number of candidates (more than 20 specialists) and conduct a large number of interviews before we found two suitable pharmacists. The challenge was also budgetary restrictions, as for the initial period of work the employer cannot provide a budget that is much higher than the specialist's earnings in his home country. The employer must be motivated primarily by new experience and development to make such a decision. The whole process from the start of work on vacancies to the acceptance of offers was released in 3 months, thanks to the hard work of our team and close cooperation with partners from Switzerland.

The candidate had to have not only strong IT knowledge (like DevOps and system administrator), but also a background in pharmaceuticals and laboratory research.
