Vacancy Management

Today's technology has forever changed the way we communicate. However, when it comes to sales, there's still nothing as effective as talking face to face. That's why a competent, confident sales force is the most valuable resource any business can have.

Staff turnover within the pharmaceutical industry is running at over 20 per cent per annum, and employees often move on, leaving territories susceptible to competitors' influence. New recruits need to be found and trained quickly, requiring management time and company funds.

The Ashfield solution

At Ashfield Healthcare, we've found the solution to sales force recruitment and retention. We call it Vacancy Management. This innovative, elegant approach succeeds by overcoming both the time consuming, costly nature of taking on agency staff, and the difficulty of finding sufficiently skilled talent.

Ashfield employ 'semi-mobile' medical sales professionals, who are deployed to fill clients' vacancies or vacancy 'hot-spots'. The team reports to the client's line management, gaining experience of the company, ready to 'feed-in' to the core team when required.

A risk-free approach

This approach offers our clients the unique opportunity to gain a practical insight into the abilities of potential recruits. Vacancy Management teams are highly motivated, and in working alongside them, clients can make fully informed take-on decisions.

Through flexible, tailored, programmes, Vacancy Management takes the risk out of recruitment, leaving companies free to get on with business as usual.
