Recruitment 101 for biotech startups

There are three essential components to a biotech start-up:

• Concept 
• Money
• People 

The business cannot thrive without all three and yet, when it comes time to start hiring, founders are often ill-prepared for the challenges that will face them. They are just not trained to recruit, and this often leads them to make expensive and time consuming mistakes. Worse still - they may hire the wrong people.

That is why we have put together a 30-60 minute training module to help start-ups learn some basic skills to get them off on the right foot.

Topics included cover:
​

1. Choosing a cheap and simple recruitment software tool
2. The importance of Employment Brand
3. Setting up a recruitment process for your company
4. Knowing when to hire
5. The importance of a good job brief
6. How to write compelling advertising copy
7. Creating a shortlist efficiently
8. How to conduct a competency-based interview
9. The secrets to taking a good reference
10. Negotiating an offer fairly and effectively
11. Rejecting unsuccessful candidates professionally
