High calibre graduate recruitment – an individual story

The challenge

A highly motivated graduate was finding it difficult to win a place on a multinational pharmaceutical company Management Trainee Scheme.

Such was the competitive nature of the process, this individual had been unsuccessful on 2 previous occasions.

They decided to access a scheme through a CSO sales role and approached CHASE’s Graduate Academy.

The solution

Having received the benefit of the support and coaching provided by the CHASE Graduate Academy, they were successfully placed on afield sales contract with a major Pharma company.

We continued to coach and develop this individual over the following 2 years.

The outcome

After 2 years they finally gained entry to the Graduate Management Trainee Scheme.

Candidate feedback

“CHASE gave me a fast start to my career in the pharma industry. Fresh out of Uni I submitted an application to CHASE and within one week they’d found me a fantastic job with a large pharmaceutical company which was perfect for me. I felt well supported throughout the interview process and got the job which kickstarted an exciting career. I remained a contractor with CHASE for 2 years and then was fortunate enough to have their support in securing a headcount role with the same company on their graduate commercial management trainee scheme. I am very grateful to CHASE for giving me the initial platform to gain some great experience as a sales representative which has now lead onto account management, marketing and line manager roles. I have fond memories of working with everyone at CHASE. It was great to work with a team that always had my best interests at heart.”
