Hiring specialized talent in highly regulated industries is never as simple as posting a job and hoping the right person applies.
Recently, we partnered with a client to help fill a Validation Engineer position in the medical device manufacturing industry.
Validation Engineer Recruiting Expectations
The Main Requirements:
3+ years of industry experience (Medical Device)
Science-Related Bachelor's Degree (minimum)
Strong technical and compliance knowledge
Fully on-site 5 days per week
Fractional Recruiting Results: Validation Engineer
Here’s how the search played out:
Role launched: 3/26/26
Compensation: $130K
Total candidates submitted: 3
Interview process: 4 stages, including technical protocol review
Offer accepted: 5/1/26
Even with a one-week delay in the process due to a Hiring Manager's vacation, we kept momentum moving and focused on quality over quantity throughout the search.
One thing we’re especially proud of: only submitting three candidates for the entire search. In recruiting, success is not about flooding hiring managers with resumes; it’s about understanding the role deeply enough to deliver the right people from the start.
That’s the difference between transactional recruiting and building a partnership.
