Scaling Talent Acquisition for a Global, Specialized Workforce
Biocon Biologics’ talent acquisition team, led by Nivedita Tomar, manages hiring across a diverse spectrum of roles – from leadership and commercial functions to science and campus roles -- spanning India, Malaysia, North America, Europe, and emerging markets. With a workforce of 5,500 employees and plans to expand by 50% in the coming years, the team faced a critical challenge of finding rare biosimilars expertise in an intensely competitive global talent market. Traditional sourcing methods—manual mapping, job boards, and reference checks—were time-consuming and yielded limited results. For a lean team, every hour saved meant more time for strategic priorities like candidate engagement and onboarding.
How LinkedIn helped
Implementing Hiring Assistant
Hiring Assistant introduced AI-powered sourcing that transformed the workflow. Recruiters upload job descriptions, define competitor lists, and receive curated candidate pools—often within minutes. Candidate summaries at the top of each profile allow quick suitability checks, reducing hours of manual research.
Recruiters reported that Hiring Assistant not only sped up sourcing but also enabled them to redirect time toward high-impact activities such as interviews, enhancing candidate experience, and managing onboarding. This shift from effort-intensive tasks to strategic engagement strengthened Biocon Biologics’ ability to deliver quality hires faster.
