The Hiring Manager needed expert support to source and secure a Senior Biomarker Specialist with the right expertise and cultural fit. As a small, fast-moving company, the client required a precise and efficient recruitment process to meet their ambitious goals.

• Role Definition: The job specification needed refining to attract candidates aligned with the company’s goals and culture.
• Quality Over Quantity: They preferred a small focused list of candidates, avoiding an overwhelming number of profiles.
• Navigating Process Changes: Unexpected changes in candidate availability and internal decisions required flexible and professional handling.

Naynesh, a Client Partner at CK Group, led a consultative engagement with the client. He:

• Collaborated to refine the job spec through detailed discussions and honest feedback.
• Delivered a carefully curated shortlist of qualified candidates, incorporating client input.
• Managed unexpected shifts—such as candidate withdrawal and internal changes—with professionalism and clear communication.

Thanks to Naynesh’s market insight and agile approach, the client was able to progress swiftly through the hiring process, onboarding their ideal candidate within just a few weeks—an impressive turnaround for the start-up.

Reflecting on the experience, the client stated, “I appreciated your honest appraisal of our spec and help to get that right ahead of the contract; by asking the right questions and making us think. It gave me confidence that you knew the market and understood what we were trying to achieve in the hire and profile we wanted.”
The client commended Naynesh’s market expertise, candid feedback, and consultative approach, which provided them with confidence in both the process and the final hire.

This project demonstrates CK Group’s ability to deliver high-impact hiring solutions quickly and effectively, even in dynamic, high-stakes environments.
