Our Talent Advisors were engaged to identify a LIMS Systems Lead to spearhead the implementation of a new Laboratory Information Management System supporting a novel patient-eligibility testing program.
Client Profile
Our client is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing a targeted therapeutic, with a laboratory function responsible for generating the electronic test orders, results, and reports used to determine patient eligibility for treatment. As the lab scaled, the company needed a dedicated systems lead to bring a new LIMS online and translate lab workflows into a validated, vendor-supported platform.
Our Approach
This search called for a rare combination: hands-on LIMS implementation experience, comfort with lab workflows and documentation standards, and the flexibility of a start-up mindset. Our Talent Advisor identified a candidate with a proven track record managing end-to-end LIMS implementations – from requirements gathering through configuration, testing, and user training – paired with direct laboratory and clinical data experience. The role was structured as a long-term contract engagement (12+ months), giving the client a fast, low-risk way to bring in specialized expertise while the LIMS program got off the ground.
Client Impact
Our candidate quickly became the bridge between the technical lab team and the external LIMS provider, mapping lab processes, driving vendor requirements, and running system testing and validation. The client was so impressed with their contractor’s performance that after just six months, they converted the role from contract to a full-time position, a strong signal of the value and trust built through the engagement.
