In the world of specialty infusion, IVIG sales roles are some of the most competitive and challenging to hire for.

With more than 20 FDA-approved therapies on the market and hundreds in the pipeline, CGT is no longer just a promise—it’s becoming a real, commercial force. But turning groundbreaking science

Hiring someone who feels right for your team is important, but it shouldn’t come at the expense of skill, capability, or performance. In the infusion, specialty pharmacy, and pharmaceutical spaces, we see this all the time: candidates get passed on because they didn’t "click" in the interview, even if they had the right experience. On

Dear Hiring Managers, I’ll be frank: stop making counteroffers and getting people to stay after they resign!  In today’s talent landscape, a counteroffer is similar to a significant other breaking up with you and begging them to stay. Not because you love them or really even want them to stay; the relationship has been stagnant

  As 2021 comes to a close, it's time to reflect on how the past year (or two) has radically altered the job market across all industries - including specialty pharmacy. The expectations of the hiring process and how employees perform their duties have evolved. Alongside this evolution, the demand for specific knowledge and experience

  The Remedy Group had the opportunity to attend Asembia's 2021 Specialty Pharmacy Summit in Las Vegas. This year's summit honed in on a post-pandemic outlook for specialty pharmacy.

It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to realize that today’s hiring market climate is best described as candidate-driven and extremely competitive.

With retention at the forefront, you may

Having a solid plan for attracting and recruiting top talent is the only way to be successful in meeting your company's hiring goals. But in today’s highly competitive job market, recruiting and hiring are more challenging than ever.

People focus more on soaking in rays and going on vacation than looking for a job in the summertime.  As a result, attracting candidates during these months can feel like fishing while using a gummy worm as bait.  These circumstances are nothing to necessarily worry about. Businesses of all shapes and sizes perform better in

Living in the information age, everybody has a voice. And many of those voices are loud. Yet, there’s something that rings as true now as it did hundreds of years ago:  Money talks loudest, especially in a candidate-driven market.  Plus, with skyrocketing costs of living, top performers must jump on the most profitable opportunities.  Now,

In recent times, even before COVID-19 was a word in anybody’s vocabulary, you might have noticed a shift in how your job candidates and interviewees behaved.  Sure, the pandemic might have tilted things back in favor of the employer--but that was short-term.  With the threat of the pandemic lessening, candidates are in the driver’s seat

The current unemployment rate has dropped back down to 5.8%, bringing us that much closer to the 4% enjoyed pre-COVID. As such, the pendulum has swung back once more to favor candidates in what has become an incredibly competitive 2021 job market.  What does this mean for employers dragging out their hiring process, who fear

Back in 2019, it was projected that e-pharmacies would be worth $107.53 billion by 2025.  Since that year, things have undoubtedly changed--which is an understatement, to say the least. The digitization of healthcare has come fast and furious during the pandemic, from virtual appointments to self-diagnosis tools. It’s only natural the pharmacies would embrace these

Why should business leaders want to support and advance women in the workplace? Other than fairness and equality - which should be driving factors - there are direct results for your bottom line. According to a Gallup study, business units with gender diversity show above-average revenue compared to those without gender diversity.  Furthermore, teams diverse

Everybody loves to talk about how quickly technology is evolving--not that this blog is about to dip into some tech deep dive. Instead, there’s a parallel for the speed at which the world - and its people - are changing.  Because of these rapid societal shifts, people’s values and core beliefs change along with them.
