Hiring for Global Transformation Project

Case Study: A global leader in the pharmaceuticals sector, embarked on an ambitious transformation project: centralising their procurement function into five designated hubs across the globe. This restructuring led to a phase-out of in-country specialists and procurement, resulting in either relocations or departures within the company. The immediate effect was the creation of multiple openings in their procurement functions, notably in Prague, Czech Republic, and Warsaw, Poland.
