  • A better way to compete for talent.

    We are currently in an intensifying Candidate Driven Market where good jobs are plentiful, top-tier candidates are scarce, and companies are urgently searching for better ways to hire top talent. It’s good old-fashioned supply and demand from grade 12 economics class playing out in our hiring market. In a Candidate Driven Market employers who need top tier candidates are forced to compete for that talent. When it comes to competing for talent, the number one necessity is strong candidate engagement. PACE Program is designed to help companies outcompete their competition for top tier talent by significantly improving their candidate engagement.

  • Blame science.

    Many causes always contribute to the creation of a Candidate Driven Market; in our case, we can blame science. In the pharmaceutical and biotech industry, our growth is driven by good science. When the drug development process significantly advances treatment, we require many highly skilled people to get that new treatment to patients. The ‘good science ripple effect’ has led to the need for more top-tier talent at every drug development and commercialization stage. Looking to the future, as science continues to advance and develop new, better treatments, we will need better ways to access top-tier talent to get those treatments to patients.

  • Better Mousetrap, better candidate engagement.

    In every market there are passive and active candidates. Passive candidates make up over 70% of the hiring market, they aren’t looking for a job, and are usually inaccessible to companies. Passive candidates are also most often made up of top-tier talent. PACE Program is a Multistage Talent Acquisition Strategy designed to move candidates from the passive to active stage; Passive to Active Candidate Engagement. Think of it like preparing your market for a product launch, only with PACE the product is you, your company, and your open role, and your target market is top-tier talent strategically identified. By intentionally engaging and attracting specific top tier passive candidates, PACE will help you compete better in the hiring market.
