Scope and Objectives
The client initially approached Tempting Talent to find a Head of US for their existing life sciences company. However, after understanding Tempting Talent’s expertise within Life Science and Healthcare staffing, the decision was made to not only expand the UK firm but to launch two independent firms in the US, necessitating the creation of two dedicated teams. One life science staffing business and a healthcare staffing business.
