The Changing Face of Talent in Pharma and MedTech  

A major part of my role involves daily conversations with senior leaders, discussing how hiring decisions can shape the future of a business and how the right people can make an extraordinary impact.

While every discussion is different, one consistent theme has emerged in recent months: the market is changing. Senior leaders across the healthcare industry recognise that success now depends on fresh skills, forward-thinking attitudes, and the ability to adapt.

Experience remains invaluable, of course, but it’s no longer enough on its own. Our industry needs to evolve - and that means embracing new perspectives and investing in the next generation of talent.

Transformation Across the Industry

Our industry is in the midst of rapid transformation, fuelled by innovation, new regulatory frameworks, digital disruption, and shifting patient expectations.

These changes are reshaping traditional hiring models. Companies that once prioritised experienced professionals are now open to welcoming new-to-industry talent. However, many face challenges:

• They may lack the infrastructure to develop talent quickly.
• They may not know where to find high-potential graduates ready to make an impact.

Yet, there’s a shared understanding - the future of the industry relies on fresh perspectives and leaders who can drive progress.

How Our Graduate Accelerator Programme Makes a Difference

This is exactly where our Graduate Accelerator Programme (GAP) steps in.

Our university and industry supported programme offers far more than a recruitment solution. It helps clients attract, develop, and retain exceptional graduates - rapidly and effectively. Delivered on an outsourced basis, the programme provides the tools and support organisations need to nurture new talent while ensuring these hires deliver measurable business impact from the outset.

The results speak for themselves. Our clients see not only stronger performance metrics but also a renewed sense of energy and optimism across their teams.

Real Results, Real Impact

Earlier this week, I met with a client who recently began their GAP journey with us. It was truly humbling to hear their overwhelmingly positive feedback on how the GAP programme and our graduate solution have already made a tangible impact. Moments like these make me, and the entire Evolve team, immensely proud of the work we’ve done in creating a genuinely forward-thinking solution.

It’s not just about filling roles; it’s about creating momentum. The enthusiasm, innovation, and attitude these graduates bring have a ripple effect throughout their organisation. Seeing that transformation firsthand is one of the most rewarding parts of what we do.

Investing in the Future

Helping clients build talent pipelines that truly work - while accelerating ambitious graduates into meaningful careers - lies at the heart of what we do at Evolve.

Because when businesses invest in people with fresh perspectives, they’re not just hiring for today - they’re building the future of the industry.

In today's fast-paced business environment, MedTech companies are under pressure to stay ahead of the curve and drive revenue growth. One way to achieve this is by building a high-performing sales team. However, hiring a permanent sales team can be expensive and time-consuming. That's where a contract sales team comes in. In this article, we'll explore the benefits of a contract sales team for MedTech companies.

Flexibility

A contract sales team can provide MedTech companies with the flexibility they need to adapt to changing market conditions. They can be brought in quickly to cover a specific territory, product line, or sales channel. This can be particularly beneficial for companies that are launching a new product or entering a new market. A contract sales team can help MedTech companies establish a presence in the market quickly and efficiently.

Cost-Effective

Hiring a permanent sales team can be expensive, especially for small or mid-sized MedTech companies. A contract sales team can provide a cost-effective alternative. Companies can hire a contract sales team on a project or short-term basis, which can help them control costs while still achieving their sales targets.

Expertise

A contract sales team can provide MedTech companies with access to specialised expertise that may not be available in-house. For example, a contract sales team may have experience selling to specific types of customers or in specific geographic regions. They may also have expertise in specific sales channels, such as e-commerce or direct sales. This expertise can be leveraged to help MedTech companies achieve their sales targets and grow their business.

Focus on Core Competencies

A contract sales team can allow MedTech companies to focus on their core competencies, such as product development and innovation. By outsourcing sales to a contract sales team, companies can free up resources and time to focus on their core business activities. This can help MedTech companies to achieve their strategic goals and objectives more effectively.

In conclusion, a contract sales team can provide MedTech companies with the flexibility, expertise, and cost-effectiveness they need to achieve their sales targets and drive revenue growth. By outsourcing sales to a contract sales team, companies can reduce risk, focus on their core competencies, and achieve sustainable business success.
