CLIENT OVERVIEW
The client is a global strategy consulting firm with a strong focus on the life sciences sector. Operating across major international hubs including London, New York City, and Berlin, the firm advises leading pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and healthcare organizations on high-impact strategic and operational challenges.
With a global workforce of between 1,000 and 5,000 professionals, the firm combines deep industry expertise with rigorous analytical capabilities. As demand for life sciences–focused consulting continued to grow across Europe, the firm identified the need to significantly expand its consultant base to support both existing clients and new market opportunities.
CHALLENGE
To deepen its European operations, the consulting firm set out to hire a large number of second- and third-level consultants, including Associates and Consultants with a strong background in life sciences. These roles were critical to project delivery, requiring candidates who could quickly contribute to complex client engagements while meeting the firm’s high standards for analytical rigor and communication.
The challenge was not only the volume of hires, but also the specificity of the required profiles. Candidates needed a combination of consulting skillsets and life sciences expertise, often in highly competitive European talent markets. At the same time, the firm needed to maintain consistent quality, cultural fit, and performance standards across multiple locations and hiring managers.
Executing such a large-scale hiring initiative while ensuring speed, consistency, and candidate experience required a trusted recruitment partner with deep consulting and life sciences talent expertise.
SOLUTION
Avomind partnered closely with the firm’s leadership and talent teams to develop a structured, scalable hiring approach tailored to the life sciences consulting context. Together, the teams aligned on role definitions, competency frameworks, and assessment criteria for second- and third-level consultants across European offices.
Leveraging its strong network within strategy consulting and life sciences, Avomind conducted targeted searches across multiple European markets. Candidates were rigorously screened for consulting experience, analytical capabilities, and relevant life sciences knowledge, as well as their ability to thrive in a high-performance consulting environment.
Avomind managed multiple hiring processes in parallel, ensuring consistent evaluation standards, efficient interview coordination, and close alignment with stakeholders across regions. This approach enabled the firm to scale its team rapidly without compromising on quality.
OUTCOME
Through its partnership with Avomind, the consulting firm successfully hired more than 40 Associates and Consultants across Europe, significantly strengthening its life sciences practice. The new hires increased delivery capacity, supported the expansion of client engagements, and enabled the firm to deepen its presence in key European markets.
By combining scale, precision, and deep sector understanding, Avomind helped the client achieve its growth objectives while maintaining the high standards expected of a global strategy consulting firm. This case demonstrates Avomind’s ability to deliver high-volume, high-quality hiring solutions for complex, expertise-driven organizations.
