How TaaSFlow scores talent

Scoring priorities for Pharmaceuticals

Every point of the score maps to an evidence quote from the CV. Dimensions, weights and critical requirements are shown alongside each candidate — the score supports judgment, it doesn't replace it.

What we evaluate in Pharmaceuticals hires

Dimensions specific to Pharmaceuticals — not a generic checklist.

Dimension

TA and phase evidence

Named indications, phase, endpoints owned.

Strong signal

A pharmaceuticals CV that names its ta and phase evidence outright: the work, the dates, the scope it owned, and something a reference can confirm.

Watch-out

TA and phase evidence asserted for pharmaceuticals with nothing named behind it — no dates, no scope, no way to tell individual work from team credit.

How TaaSFlow validates

Every pharmaceuticals match against this signal is tied to a quoted CV line and reviewed before the shortlist reaches you.

Platform configuration

How TaaSFlow is configured for pharmaceuticals hiring

Same platform, same objects, different configuration — Healthcare and life sciences. Licences and registrations gate the pipeline before ranking begins.

Role families

What the workspace is set up to hire

Clinical
Registered nurses · Physicians · Allied health · Care leadership
Quality and regulatory
QA · QC · Regulatory affairs · Pharmacovigilance
Research and development
Clinical research · Bioprocess · Medical affairs
Manufacturing and devices
GMP production · Validation · Device engineering

Requirements

Requirement patterns captured at intake

Active licence or registration with issuing body and expiry
Setting-specific experience (acute, community, GMP, GCP)
Regulatory frameworks the candidate has worked under
Shift pattern, rota and on-call availability

Evidence

Evidence types extracted from the CV

Licences and registrations: Body, number reference and validity as stated on the CV.
Regulated setting experience: Named environments and the standards that governed them.
Case and caseload evidence: Patient groups, procedures, throughput or batch scope.
Training and revalidation: Mandatory training and revalidation history where declared.

Scoring

Rubric weighting for this configuration

Skills & tools: 20
Relevant experience: 20
Industry context: 15
Seniority & scope: 10
Credentials & licences: 25
Languages: 5
Location & logistics: 5

Credentials are weighted heavily because they are legally load-bearing.
A missing licence is an eligibility hold, not a low score — the candidate never ranks against qualified peers.
Setting experience is scored separately from years, because five years in the wrong setting is not five years.

Compliance

Compliance handled in the workflow

Licence verification trail: Every licence claim is recorded with its source line and reviewer decision.
Background and clearance: Checks required by the role are captured as requirements before shortlisting.
Sensitive data handling: CVs stay in private storage with scoped access; contact details release separately.

Approval controls

Who has to agree before anything moves

Strict configuration: eligibility holds on, second reviewer on stage moves, contact release held back until approval.

Approval before client visibility: No candidate appears in a client workspace until a reviewer approves them for that specific role.
Eligibility holds: Missing licences, right-to-work or other hard requirements place a candidate on hold instead of ranking them.
Evidence verification: Extracted evidence is reviewable line by line, and a reviewer can confirm or reject each finding before it counts.
Second reviewer on decisions: High-consequence decisions can require a second named reviewer before the stage advances.
Separate contact release: Seeing a candidate and seeing their contact details are two different permissions, released independently.
Reversible decisions: Client decisions stay reversible for a short window, so a mis-click never becomes a permanent outcome.
Full audit trail: Every state change records who did it, when, and against which rubric version.
