Case Study: Oncologica expands PCR testing capacity with Reed

Oncologica scales PCR testing workforce from 50 to 430 with REED

Oncologica, a provider of precision oncology testing, faced the challenge of rapidly scaling its workforce to manage high volumes of PCR testing for both Covid and cancer during the pandemic. They urgently needed hundreds of qualified professionals, including hard-to-find HCPC-qualified staff, without compromising on their essential criteria. REED provided recruitment services to address this critical staffing shortage.

REED implemented a targeted recruitment solution, maintaining close contact with Oncologica to adapt to changing needs. Their consultants developed a bespoke process that included proactive sourcing, pre-screening candidates, and conducting remote interviews. As a result, REED successfully placed over 430 professionals, enabling Oncologica to grow its workforce from 50 to 430. This expansion allowed the lab to effectively provide its testing services throughout the pandemic, with many temporary workers progressing into valuable permanent roles.
