The challenge:

Staffing critical research talent for an NIH center.

The National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (NCATS) is one of 27 institutes and centers within the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Its mission is to transform the translational process so that new treatments and cures for disease can get to patients faster. In discovering a new approach that could greatly accelerate the process of deploying solutions to be used by all translational researchers—NCATS had a new project, requiring 26 highly specialized technical positions that varied in the type of work needed, as well as requirements for education and experience.

The solution:

A supplier focused on staffing the federal workforce.

For more than 15 years, Kelly® Government Solutions (KGS) has partnered with national laboratories and other federal research facilities for talent in the science, engineering, and technology sectors.

KGS then engaged our recruiters with expertise in science and technology as well as our network of small business suppliers to respond to the requirements.

The value:

26 highly specialized technical experts in 3 weeks.

The KGS team efficiently established a pipeline of candidates to submit resumes for all 26 opportunities within just 3 weeks, in an effort to keep the client’s translational science research project moving ahead on schedule.
