Case Study:
Recruitment Process Outsourcing
Industry Focus: Medical Technology
A global medical technology firm which helps over 75 million people annually, had months of no activity on a search to identify a Senior Software Systems Engineer. The person hired for this role develops cyber-security software for Software Imagery Guidance for Neuro and Orthopedic surgeries.
Similar to a car or mobile Global Positioning System (GPS), image-guided software used during spine and brain surgeries uses cameras or electromagnetic fields to capture and relay the patient’s anatomy and the surgeon’s precise operative procedures in the operating room. These sophisticated computerized systems are used before and during surgery to help orient the surgeon with three-dimensional images of the patient’s anatomy and are often deployed over Wi-Fi protocols.
Since this level of imagery guided software is relatively new to the medical device community, the search for a Software Development expert in the area of cyber-security at this level created challenges in filling the position. A candidate hired for this role must have in-depth experienced relative to this technology, be adept at working proficiently with the medical device company and surgical teams to develop security protocols that protect the software during highly-sensitive surgeries.
Top Source Talent worked with the client’s Talent Acquisition (TA) and hiring teams to identify multiple candidates for this role. Within a six-week period, Top Source Talent was able to recruit and hire the top candidate for this unique position.
