SCRS Talks

As many organizations within the clinical research industry search for candidates, many want to work with those they already know. Unfortunately, this means some CROs and sponsors are asking site staff to come and work for their organizations instead.  Karri Venn, Chief Operating Officer, President, and Chair of the Operating Board at Centricity Research discusses her experience with site staff poaching practices and how sites and industry can address the increasing demand for employees.

Collaborating with other sites can expand your site's opportunities and revenue significantly when done right. Kay Scroggins, Steve Satek, and Ana Marquez discuss why they founded their new site network, Flourish Research, and advice they have for other sites looking to expand, sell or collaborate with one another.
