Compliance Unlocked from NSF - Episode 8
In this episode of Compliance Unlocked, we’re joined by Dal Pawar, Founder & Managing Director of Assure Bio—a specialist recruitment consultancy focused on Quality Assurance professionals and Qualified Persons (QPs) across the life sciences sector. Dal is also the host of the QP Diaries podcast, proudly sponsored by NSF, and this episode marks our first external, non-NSF guest on the series.
Dal shares his career journey from joining a large global recruitment firm in Central London—where he first had to learn what a QP actually is—to building one of the strongest QA/QP networks in the industry, and ultimately launching Assure Bio during COVID with nothing but a laptop, a phone, and his professional network.
Key topics covered in this episode:
How COVID permanently changed QA and QP recruitment
The growing disconnect between employers and candidates on hybrid vs. on-site work
Why today’s market has shifted to a client-driven hiring environment
The role of AI in recruitment—and why human judgment still matters
What quality professionals must do to stand out in a saturated job market
Why audit, inspection readiness, and remediation experience are in high demand
How personal branding and LinkedIn visibility can influence hiring decisions
Dal also explains why many life sciences companies are preparing for more challenging regulatory inspections, driving increased demand for professionals with strong GxP compliance and auditing expertise.
Whether you’re a quality professional planning your next career move or a leader responsible for hiring and retaining QA/QP talent, this conversation offers practical insights you can apply right now.
