Case Study – Advanced Therapies Contract Manufacturing & Development Organisation – Europe

Situation

Our client is a globally recognised innovation and technology organisation, supporting the advancement of Advanced Therapy Medicinal Products (ATMPs). In the past 3 years, Andrew Davis has delivered 4 senior leadership vacancies that required external hiring support.

Approach

Andrew began by targeting candidates across active, passive, and dormant talent pools using a range of direct headhunting techniques. This ensured broad market coverage and engagement. Throughout the process, he managed candidates from the first interview to role acceptance and resignation—ensuring a seamless hiring experience.

Action

Andrew Davis was engaged to provide executive search and talent consulting services. Working in partnership with the internal HR and leadership teams, Andrew defined tailored candidate briefs for each role, supported with salary benchmarking, and developed a strategic headhunting approach.

The leadership roles included:
- Innovation Director
- Vice President of Early Development
- Marketing & Communications Director
- Site Operations Director

Result

All four positions were successfully filled according to the original criteria and within budget. Each placed candidate has become a valuable member of the company leadership team. Searches ranged from 3 - 5 weeks, depending on complexity and scope, with a consistent focus on identifying high-quality, well-matched talent.

Client Comment

“Andy has become a trusted, strategic partner to our business. His in-depth industry knowledge, and ability to find suitable candidates across Europe that align with our briefs, are key reasons why he is our a preferred search partner.”
