Jae Yoo, Executive Director – Head of EPM Scientific US, shares the transformations he has witnessed over the past few years, and how EPM Scientific helps clients with their hiring goals: "The life sciences companies we work with try to prioritize DE&I as much as possible, but diversity means different things depending on the team, as some organizations have teams that are predominantly female. "Smaller startup companies are particularly asking for diversity at an executive level, but clients of all sizes appreciate it when we highlight that a candidate is diverse when sending their details over. It’s also been interesting to see that a lot of hiring managers now are women, which wasn’t the case when I started consulting seven years ago." |
