CPL LIFE SCIENCES
“The Swiss life sciences market is evolving at pace and we have seen a noticeable rise in demand for candidates skilled in digital automation, logistics, and supply chain. We’re excited to see these new opportunities and support clients with talent solutions designed to support a changing market.” Yvette Cleland, CEO, Cpl Life Sciences With employers becoming more aware of their sustainability/environmental, social and corporate governance (ESG ) strategies, in-line with new Central Securities Depositories Regulations (CSDR) across EU and Switzerland, we expect to see increased demand for skilled candidates with experience within Supply Chain, Legal, Compliance and HR, as businesses transform their models and strategy. Digital Automation The life sciences sector globally is going through an evolution of digitalisation; with drug discovery and clinical trials shifting into automisation, utilising Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML), which will in turn lead to a new set of skills and growth areas. Looking ahead: Swiss Staffing Priorities for 2024 and Beyond Demand for Talent Talent needs in logistics, engineering and supply chain remain among the higher areas in life sciences, along with quality assurance and control, and these seem to be the areas that will continue to be busiest into 2024 for permanent and contract staffing requirements. However, there continues to be great innovation in Switzerland. The Med Tech and Bio Tech sectors are driven through academic research and investment in the country, with a strong international base of business and talent. Although we anticipate 2024 getting off to a slow start, we expect to see an uptick in investment and funding as the year goes on, fuelling the sector to thrive once more. Medium to large pharmaceutical companies will also likely bolster their pipelines or make acquisitions, which will increase job flow and career opportunities.
Data science-based roles will likely increase. We expect to see roles that involve the collection, analysis, and interpretation of data to grow in demand across bioinformatics and other areas, such as computational biology, mathematical biology, and statistical genetics, computer engineers, and software development. New Products We expect to see growth in hiring demand from mid to large size Swiss based pharmaceutical companies in 2024, from employers launching new products and receiving critical clinical data results driving the need to fill specialist roles.
