Sourcing Solutions: Executive Search, SME Placement & Flexible Clinical Staffing

Alpha’s Sourcing Solutions unit provides executive search, SME placement and flexible clinical staffing models for sponsors who need senior talent, fast. Our approach is customised and fit-for-purpose, scaling with wherever a sponsor is in their outsourcing journey — from a single functional specialist to a full multifunction Functional Service Provider partnership (FSP 360). It’s built around flexibility, speed and quality, so sponsors keep visibility and control while emerging biotechs move faster with less overhead.

What This Means in Practice

The FSP 360 model means a sponsor can start with a single functional specialist — a pharmacovigilance physician, a clinical data manager, a rater-trained assessor — and scale toward a fully outsourced multifunction partnership as programme needs grow, without switching vendors or re-negotiating a new relationship at each stage. Every FSP role listed above is sourced against real technical criteria specific to biopharma and biotech, not generic staffing-agency keyword matching.

Because sourcing sits inside the same organisation as Alpha’s CRO, PV and Consulting units, resourcing decisions are informed by people who understand the roles from the inside — a pharmacovigilance physician candidate, for example, can be evaluated by Alpha’s own safety scientists before a sponsor ever sees the CV.

Why Alpha

Why Sponsors Choose Alpha for Resourcing

100% placement satisfaction reflects a boutique resourcing model built on in-house, subject-matter-expert screening rather than a high-volume recruiting funnel. Speed and quality aren’t traded against each other: sponsors get senior talent fast because Alpha already has the domain expertise to evaluate a candidate’s technical competence before the client interview, not after it. And because the FSP model scales from a single hire to full 360 partnership, sponsors keep control over exactly how much they outsource, and when.
