The request was based on the need to strengthen the Life Sciences team due to company growth, the shortage of lawyers with a background in life sciences, and high salary expectations in the Netherlands, respectively.

Eirhub developed a detailed hiring strategy based on a deep understanding of candidates' profiles and targeted companies where suitable candidates worked. The hiring strategy included a communication strategy, an advertising campaign, and a direct search method to compile a shortlist of the best legal professionals for the role.
