Webinar: The Land of Oz: Behind the Hiring Curtain in Healthcare and Life Sciences

Finding your next position is a difficult proposition, made more difficult because of hidden forces going on behind the scenes that influence the hiring process at healthcare and life science companies. In addition, many of the individuals that work in Human Resources and Talent Acquisition at those companies do not have healthcare or business degrees or experience in Life Sciences and very often do not understand the value that someone with a PhD or master’s degree in science can offer the company. In this webinar, Gil Carrara will share how he and his partners develop an understanding of the client company’s corporate direction, culture, and personality and provide insights that you can use when going through the job search process. Topics to be addressed include, but may not be limited to:

• What prospective candidates don’t consider during a search
• The best approach to make initial contact about a search
• Common concerns that hiring managers have about candidates
• How companies currently feel about “Work from Home (WFM)”
• How to handle the compensation expectation question and other negotiation issues
• Things that candidates can do to help themselves land the job
