Graduates reinvigorate existing sales organisation

The challenge

Clients increasingly look to introduce graduates to their sales organisation, with up to two 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

The solution

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.

The outcomes

Statistics for one specific client

  • 58 graduate placements in nine 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 five years
  • Over 40% have been promoted in that time
  • Over 50% are in the same organisation they started with
