Leveraging the unique setting of a global company was the basis of our branding the business in Malaysia and getting the word out to the top talents and the appropriate medical community. An important part of our outward communication was the fact that the company is endorsed by by MIDA – the Malaysian Industrial Development Authority, which has supported the organisation in terms of grants, and other benefits for bringing investments, a global vertically integrated R&D function and development of local talent to become a game changer in the global Pharmaceutical industry. The company was also the first in Malaysia to gain US FDA approval of a product, amongst a large pipeline of products to be exported to the USA and Europe market from Malaysia. This boosts its legitimacy in the eyes of potential employees.

Kestria’s tenure in the industry in question along with our deep knowledge of the talent landscape and previous start-up experience as well as the candidate relationships built up in our network helped us to gain footing quickly and pitch effectively and successfully. Our consistent close contact with the company CEO also helped to maintain clarity throughout the search process and showed the client how reliable, transparent and dedicated a partner Kestria Malaysia is.
