Case Study: Opus Regulatory doubles hiring and reduces hiring costs 70% with LinkedIn Talent Solutions

Opus Regulatory used LinkedIn Job Posts to fill highly specialized roles and remain the leader in a niche industry

Opus Regulatory, a 51–200 employee pharmaceutical manufacturing and regulatory consulting firm, faced an extremely narrow hiring pool for consultants with direct biotech and pharmaceutical experience. LinkedIn Job Slots and InMails produced low response rates, referrals and conferences were too costly, and a non-solicit agreement blocked outreach to client employees—creating urgent pressure to find top consultants quickly.

Using LinkedIn Job Posts’ advanced targeting together with LinkedIn Recruiter, Opus Regulatory uncovered hidden candidate locations, reached the right audiences (including people at client companies without solicitation), and focused budget on high-priority roles. The result: two highly specialized hires in four months, a 100% increase in hiring over the past year, a shortened time-to-hire, $7,000 saved on two hires, and a 70% reduction in overall hiring costs.
