Pharmaceutical Employers Struggling in Talent War for Medical Science Liaisons (MSLs) in a Web 2.0 World

(REPRINTED)

A special report explains how corporate staffing consultants of pharmaceutical employers must have Competence, Chemistry, and Charisma when fighting the war for MSL talent. In a press release from 1888.com, it was reported that companies are shifting their recruiting burdens for field-based medical science liaisons.

"More MSL employers and specialty recruiters are coming to us and admitting that general job boards and social networks have become resource drains and time-wasters," said Dr. Jane Chin, author of the special report, 'Medical Science Liaison Recruiting: A Special Report for Corporate HR Sourcing MSLs in a Web 2.0 World.' "Social networks definitely have a role, but most MSL employers are leveraging social media and social networking incorrectly in the MSL recruiting game."


MSL Institute has been surveying the medical science liaison employment trends since 2006, with its salary surveys and analysis of job satisfaction trends based on primary source collection as well as secondary source collection of the MSL community. MSL Institute also provides a niche-specific job board catering only to the MSL recruiting market.

The 14-page report is available to pharmaceutical employers and corporate staffing consultants. Please contact Dr. Chin for a complimentary copy of the report.
