The challenge

Chronic vacancies and turnover across QA and laboratory roles were destabilizing day-to-day operations. The client needed qualified QA technicians and lab analysts hired and productive quickly, with onboarding consistent enough that quality coverage did not depend on individual heroics.

Objectives

  • Fill open QA technician and lab analyst roles with qualified candidates
  • Reduce turnover across the quality and laboratory teams
  • Shorten time from offer to productive onboarding
  • Build a pipeline the client could convert into full-time staff

BEPC's role

BEPC owned recruiting, screening, and onboarding for the quality and laboratory roles, sourcing candidates with regulated-industry experience and managing them through a structured onboarding path into the client's operation.

Scope & approach

Recruiting and screening for QA technician and lab analyst roles
Structured onboarding into regulated quality operations
Ongoing placement management and retention follow-up
Conversion path from BEPC placement to client full-time staff

BEPC combined regulated-industry candidate sourcing with a repeatable onboarding structure, so each cohort reached productivity faster than the last and the client could confidently convert proven performers into full-time employees.

Outcomes

53 QA technicians and lab analysts were placed and onboarded, stabilizing the operation. Turnover dropped, onboarding accelerated, and 12 placements converted into the client's full-time staff — turning a staffing gap into a durable talent pipeline.

Trust & references

Fifty-three qualified hires in a market where lab talent is scarce changed everything about how our operation runs. BEPC's onboarding structure meant each cohort was productive faster, and the twelve we converted to staff are some of our strongest people.
