Case Study: a life sciences firm scales hiring and meets production demand with Aerotek

a life sciences firm scales hiring with Aerotek to staff 1,200 contractors in 8 weeks

Aerotek partnered with a life sciences firm facing the challenge of rapidly scaling its workforce to meet the expedited production of COVID-19 test kits. The client needed to hire over 2,000 contract laborers but could not disclose key details like pay rates until production began, requiring a highly experienced and trusted staffing partner to manage this high-volume, confidential ramp-up.

Aerotek developed a multifaceted solution that included consulting on market trends to raise pay rates, a targeted sourcing strategy, and the creation of an efficient, off-site onboarding process. Through its on-premise team, Aerotek provided continuous support and communication. As a result, Aerotek supplied over 1,200 contractors within eight weeks, enabling the client to manufacture approximately 35 million test kits per month.
