Scaling a Life Science Start-Up at Speed
The Challenge
Katalyst Laboratories was under pressure to scale the business at pace to ensure that it met its increasing demand.
When we first partnered with Katalyst Laboratories, it was on a mission to lead the charge on the diagnostic revolution – going digital and bringing testing right to the point of care.
This was a fast-paced business on the rise, having won major contracts, as well as already supporting big-name brands and exciting industries. But to meet the demand Katalyst had created and truly scale the business, it needed to expand quickly and increase the company’s lab capacity.
So, Katalyst partnered with CM Life Science to hire:
- Senior leadership - to roll out numerous labs throughout the UK.
- A high volume of Lab Technicians - to run these labs.
In the rest of this case study, we’ll show you how we were able to achieve these goals and make a significant impact to the Katalyst business within just three months. Making a number of both permanent and contract hires.
We really did struggle in the early days to scale our business – especially with recruiting the right skill-sets. However, partnering with CM Life Science has made a significant impact. The proof is in our headcount.
Andrew Wheeler CEO at Katalyst LaboratoriesHow We Did It
We embraced a holistic strategy incorporating a variety of approaches to optimise talent attraction, acquisition and retention.
The traditional recruitment process is linear and focuses solely on hiring. For us, this doesn’t represent a true partnership and doesn’t provide the client or candidate with the best possible experience.
So, with Katalyst we introduced a holistic talent strategy that focuses on talent attraction, acquisition and retention.
With this, we’ve been able to create a talent solution which improves with every search.
Attracting Talent
Our ClientHub product meant quality candidates could be informed and quickly engaged with Katalyst’s brand.
A ClientHub is a bespoke website which allowed us to show off Katalyst’s people and culture. This also included facts and stats about the business, as well as testimonials from its leadership team.
This ClientHub was sent to every candidate and proved an effective tool for engaging high-quality professionals.
