Case Study: Graduates - reinvigorate existing sales organisation

Clients increasingly look to introduce graduates to their sales organisation, with up to 2 years experience post-graduation, not necessarily from within the UK Pharmaceutical industry.

This approach is driven by a need to:

• Reinvigorate an existing sales organisation
• Provide a source of future talent for the organisation

To address this need for multiple clients we mobilised our graduate recruitment consultant team from our industry-leading CHASE Graduate Academy.

Using our existing database, we interviewed, selected and put forward suitable graduates for assessment by our client companies.

We then deployed our multi-award-winning Project Management Team to provide in-role pastoral care.

Statistics for one specific client

• 58 graduate placements in 9 months
• 86% remained in post for over 12 months
• 57% promoted in role within 18-24 months
• 17% promoted into various Head Office roles

Statistics spanning five years across several clients

• 98% of CHASE graduate candidates are successful in either their 1st or 2nd job application (often when in competition with traditional, experienced pharma reps)
• Over 80% are still working in pharma/healthcare after 5 years
• Over 40% have been promoted in that time
• Over 50% are in the same organisation they started with
