Lundbeck & STAR Partnership

Lundbeck

Background
Early in 2008 Lundbeck made the decision to pursue a differential resourcing strategy. We chose to partner with STAR on this initiative; as our most successful provider of direct to headcount recruitment services we had confidence in their ability to find the right people and they also demonstrated an unwavering commitment to deliver a bespoke and flexible solution.

Objective
The aim of the project is to deliver significant return on investment in key, high potential areas within the UK geography. Recognising that an evenly distributed UK footprint is inappropriate for our portfolio, we identified the areas that would benefit the most from additional, localised resourcing and pull-through. The critical success factor is rapid deployment of high calibre individuals.

Outcome
Due to the strong recruitment heritage and the calibre of the resourcing team at STAR, they really have raised the bar for our contracted resourcing. This is shown by the fact that we would consider at least 50% of the team for headcount opportunities. STAR has really differentiated itself from other CSOs, with the speed, professionalism and efficiency with which they have managed the small number of candidates that we found were not appropriate for this project (despite the rigour of our recruitment process). I would happily recommend STAR to industry colleagues who require a flexible partner to deliver differential resourcing initiatives.

DENTSPLY

Dentsply

We’ve partnered with STAR on several occasions to recruit reps on a contract basis. STAR has always delivered what we’re looking for; they spent time with us to understand the type of person Dentsply wanted to recruit, and found those people – they take the difficulty out of the process. I’ve always found them very willing to accommodate our requests and working methods; they’re our first port of call whether we need to recruit, diffuse unprecedented situations, or address unmet business needs – we completely trust their judgement.

Procter & Gamble Pharmaceuticals

Procter & Gamble Pharmaceuticals

I have been overwhelmed by STAR Medical’s ability to fill every single one of my vacancies. This is particularly impressive as timelines were short (due to a product launch) and competition was tough. STAR Medical combines the vitality of a new business with the professionalism of a long established organisation. I would fully recommend them as a supplier of choice.

Many thanks for all your patience and help and support through this wobbly period. I have feet, legs, fingers and everything crossed that the rest of this section goes well with the other two candidates. Big thanks to ALL your recruiters, liaison and admin. troops, you, Adam and Tim too.

You’ve all been brilliant!

Sanofi-Aventis

Sanofi-Aventis

Listening, accessibility, flexibility; you actually work with the customer needs and not what you think they need. Polite, happy bunch.

Merz Pharma

Merz Pharma

We set out to build two teams with totally different profiles in a short time frame. The STAR team investigated and met our needs fully enabling us to build very high calibre teams. I wouldn’t consider STAR as a supplier, but an invaluable partner.

Healthcare Companies

Dentsply

Dentsply

In our industry, responding quickly and efficiently is imperative. We wanted candidates with strong sales experience, but who had the determination and capacity to master and execute our training and development strategy. This is where STAR stepped in. They took care of the pre-screening and arranged all the interviews. This culminated in both positions being filled by STAR representatives, who complement our team perfectly. We were most impressed with STAR's ability to listen, identify our requirements and intuitively match candidates to those needs.

Nigal Rutter, Professional Accounts Manager, Dentsply

Nestle Nutrition

Nestle

We have partnered with STAR as they understand our priorities and goals. Not only are they well placed to provide the industry’s very best healthcare representatives they are also agile enough to tailor their performance management and smooth support systems exactly to our needs. It is refreshing to work with a truly committed and flexible business partner.

Cozart

Cozart

Having joined Cozart only recently one of my first tasks was to review the sales force structure and recruit 3 Account Managers very quickly. I had previous experience of working with Star Medical and was happy to work with them again on this project. Star listened to my requirements and I had complete confidence that I would need to see only 4 CV’s for each role and shortlist from there. We recruited 3 excellent Account Managers with exactly the background I was looking for. Working with one agency exclusively takes the stress out of recruitment and Star matched my brief very effectively.

Liz Wagster, National Sales Manager - Cozart
