Research and selection in the field of Regulatory Affairs for a leading group in Medical Devices.
A leading group in the orthopedic devices sector commissioned Professional Recruitment to select a Quality Assurance & Regulatory Affairs Specialist for its production site in Northern Milan, the largest and most complex in the entire group.

Following the strengthening of the Quality and Regulatory Affairs function, the company identified the need to hire a professional with:
In addition to technical expertise, the sought-after profile needed to demonstrate flexibility and adaptability. The role involved close interaction with production and all other departments, requiring a consistent on-site presence with limited opportunities for remote work.
To meet this need quickly and effectively, a team of headhunters specialized in the medical devices sector was engaged.
The approach was structured on multiple levels:
The main challenge was identifying candidates with the right mix of regulatory knowledge, motivation, willingness to work full-time on-site, and the ability to adapt to a structured corporate culture.
Thanks to a targeted strategy and constant collaboration with HR and the Function Manager—which included salary benchmarking and market analysis—the process was successfully completed in a short time.
The selected candidate, with a background in regulatory affairs consulting for medical devices, demonstrated strong motivation for the role, hands-on operational experience, and excellent interpersonal skills. Her rapid integration into the team and immediate effectiveness at the production plant confirmed the success of the headhunting process.
This project confirms the effectiveness of a specialized and structured approach to recruiting technical and managerial profiles in the medical devices sector.
