The Challenge
Following its IPO, Adaptive Biotechnologies needed to transform its engineering organization to support a growing biotech platform. However, compensation packages were below industry benchmarks, making it difficult to attract experienced biotech and life sciences talent.
Fuel Talent’s Approach
Fuel Talent advised leadership on market-aligned compensation while deploying a hybrid hiring strategy combining contractors with contract-to-hire pipelines. Working closely with technical leadership shortened hiring loops and ensured alignment with engineering requirements.
Key Differentiators
- Strategic compensation advisory based on market data
- Strong contract-to-hire recruiting model
- Direct collaboration with technical leadership
Results
- 94% offer acceptance rate
- 90% role fulfillment rate when Fuel was engaged alongside other agencies
- 13-day average submittal-to-offer timeline
- 7:1 submittal-to-hire ratio
- Became Adaptive’s preferred recruiting partner
“I learned very quickly after starting to work with Fuel that I could count on them! I handed them a challenging project and they rose to the occasion with exceptional results. They not only found me candidates, they sent me many QUALIFIED candidates! They have stellar communication skills and never left me wondering where their team was in their efforts. As a hiring manager, I believe in having strong connections with the recruiting community, but I'm also very picky about whom I partner with and Fuel is at the top of my list.”
