Building on Strong Foundations.
In November, we brought together HR and business leaders alongside experienced professionals for the first Life Sciences Recruitment Night.
The evening built on findings from our Candidate Experience Survey, exploring how candidates experience today’s hiring processes — and the impact this has on employer brand, performance and mental health. The response was overwhelmingly positive.
Participants valued:
- Honest discussion about what works well — and where experiences can be strengthened
- A World Café format that gave equal voice to HR/TA, candidates and hiring managers
- The shared conclusion that small, consistent improvements in communication and transparency can significantly narrow the experience gap
What We’re Advancing in 2026.
The 2026 series is designed to:
- Deepen the dialogue between HR and business;
- Share examples of improvements already implemented;
- Identify practical steps organisations can test immediately;
- Strengthen collaboration across Basel, Zürich, Zug and Romandie.
This is not about perfection. It’s about progress.
Who This Is For:
- HR and Talent Acquisition leaders;
- Business and hiring leaders in Life Sciences;
- Recruitment specialists;
- Senior professionals interested in strengthening the hiring experience.

To provide deeper context for the discussions, we compiled the survey findings and key themes into a whitepaper: Closing the Candidate Experience Gap in Life Science Hiring.
