C-CAP Candidates ready to be hired!!

It gives us immense pleasure to announce that our first C-CAP batch from Hyderabad is ready for campus placement and we are excited with the early success we have received. So far 12 candidates from various C-CAP batches have been placed with reputed CROs. We welcome the recruiters to contact us at ccap.placement@cytel.com for a copy of the placement brochure and for any other queries. 

While we are competing with other CROs for business, we strongly believe collaboration is inevitable when it comes to talent development. Everyone is going to benefit from the concerted efforts in this area, which would lead to increase in the size of the professional community. CliPLab, a training initiative of Cytel has been working on the same philosophy and trying to contribute to the community we all are part of.

As you would agree, the Clinical Trial Services Industry is characterized by a

perpetual shortage of skilled and experienced professionals. This shortage can be

attributed to a number of factors:

1. Inadequate domain knowledge
2. Unavailability of end-to-end exposure to the clinical study process
3. Insufficient exposure to work environment
4. Inconsistent level of competence in soft-skills area

At CliPLab, we have attempted to tackle the problem in a strategic manner:

1. Identify the skills and exposure areas that have a direct and significant bearing on productivity and performance in Clinical Trial Analytics projects
2. Invite experienced professionals in the industry to design and develop training modules aimed at developing the required competence
3. Select through a stringent selection process the candidates with the right aptitude and aspiring to make a career in the industry
4. Groom the cherry-picked candidates on a variety of theoretical , practical and professional skills developed and delivered by experts

C-CAP is a result of this strategic thinking and execution. I am sure the candidates

emerging from this 18 months long rigorous program will be able to hit the ground

running and prove to be valuable assets for the organization they are part of. So far (as of September 2015), we have enrolled ten batches of C-CAP participants and two of them are going through the last phase of their grooming, ready to be hired and deployed on

projects.

While the entire exercise has been started with an intent to spur the growth at Cytel, we do not wish to restrict the candidates' career prospects and growth in any manner. Cytel has already announced a plan to hire 40 candidates from C-CAP every year for three years starting 2015. Additionally, we wish to make these candidates accessible to other leading recruiters in the industry. The candidates are not penalized for choosing to work with an employer other than Cytel and you can rest assured that there is no selection-bias in favour of Cytel. All of the candidates are available to all of the recruiters without any prejudice.

With this introduction, we invite the CROs to explore the candidature of the C-CAP

participants. Should you have any further queries, we shall be happy to address them. The career aspirants are also welcome to visit us to review our placement records.
