At the forefront of innovation and hypertension technology and on the cusp of launching the first EU trial of their lead product, this medical device start-up approached us in December 2017 to build out their entire European function and to offer guidance on the ideal infrastructure of their teams.
Being a small company of fewer than 15 employees at the time of engagement, the client was looking for a partner that could act as an extension of their permanent team, who could use their own expertise and sector knowledge when sourcing candidates, putting forward potential hires and advising on team structure.
Without feet on the ground locally, the client also needed support with onboarding candidates at such a large scale, as well as with navigating local compliance regulations within the six countries the trial was set to span. They were initially looking for a number of contractors across clinical, data management, safety and medical writing departments for a trial launch date in September 2018.
Over an 8-month period, we took the client from having no EU presence to having 13 contractors across clinical, regulatory, data management, safety and medical writing departments in time for their Phase II trial launch in September 2018.
Since our success with the initial requirement, we've been engaged to provide continual support in further growing their EU teams as well as their already established presence in the US.
In a partnership that now spans more than three years, we have facilitated the placement of 45 contract and permanent staff across 8 countries. We also manage the ongoing legal and regulatory requirements of their contract workforce, with routine visa, insurance and right to work checks handled by our in-house contractor compliance department.

The team has been very sensitive about ensuring that they are in contact with us only when we need them to be. They have not oversold themselves and the work speaks for itself. We have had an excellent success rate in terms of candidates sent to us.
We are very judicious when it comes to hiring, and we have a strict selection process. SEC has recognised this when filtering, interviewing and making suggestions about key hires. We aren't spending too much time in the process, and we've had a great experience with th epeople we've brought on to date. That speaks volumes about the integrity of SEC, as well as the contractors they provide, so we are very happy.
