The story
The partnership
AstraZeneca connected with HopHR through Faisal Khan, who had worked with the team in a previous role.
His group supported global research and development, using data, machine learning, and AI in work connected to drug discovery and development.
The hiring challenge
Hiring across global locations
The team needed to grow in Washington, Cambridge, and Gothenburg while keeping hiring aligned across locations.
Finding specialist research talent
Lead and principal data science roles called for technical depth as well as familiarity with pharmaceutical research.
Our approach
How HopHR helped
The recruiter brought context from the earlier relationship to understand the role requirements and team expectations.
HopHR coordinated searches across locations and stayed close to hiring managers as they reviewed candidates and shared feedback.
What changed
The outcome
HopHR supported the group through a focused search for senior data science talent across its global research organization.
The collaboration brought a familiar recruiting partner into a specialized hiring effort where role context and clear communication mattered.
“In my career, I've worked with a number of recruiters, but HopHR is in a class of its own when it comes to partnering in the process. They just 'get it' and have consistently identified excellent global candidates for my positions at all levels of experience.”
