In the fast-moving world of pharma and biotech, transitions are inevitable. Whether due to medical leave, layoffs, or the unexpected departure of key regulatory team members, these disruptions can create bottlenecks that delay critical milestones.
The Downside of Temporary Hires
When faced with staffing gaps, companies often scramble to find temporary replacements—only to realize that top regulatory operations professionals rarely take short-term roles. The hiring process alone can be costly and time-consuming, and by the time a new hire is up to speed, the temporary need may have already passed.
