Project Brief

Nxera Pharma, formerly Sosei Heptares, is a leading biopharmaceutical company focused on innovative drug discovery and development. During a phase of sustained growth and reorganisation, Nxera required a reliable, streamlined recruitment process to attract high-calibre talent across all levels, from Scientist to Vice-President, in fields spanning pre-clinical, translational, and clinical development.

Nxera’s expansion and restructuring created several recruitment challenges:

Scalability and Flexibility: The company needed a recruitment solution that could scale with its rapid growth.

Integrated Talent Pipeline: With multiple open positions across diverse functions, Nxera required a recruitment partner who could understand its culture, goals, and specific needs.

Efficient Access to Candidate Information: Nxera’s hiring managers sought a seamless, efficient way to access candidate profiles and make hiring decisions quickly.
