Mid-Sized CRO Hires Experienced CRAs in Just 5 Days

A mid-sized CRO needed experienced CRA support in a region with limited talent availability. Internal resources were stretched, and onboarding junior CRAs would delay the project.

To stay on schedule, the team sought a fast and flexible clinical research staffing solution that could deliver qualified candidates ready to start with minimal ramp-up.

The problem

"We needed experienced CRA resources in a specific geography during a competitive hiring period. Freelance Clinical responded quickly, delivering CVs within days. Their flexibility and communication made collaboration easy."

— Director of Clinical Operations, Mid-Sized CRO
