About this listen

Why do qualified candidates apply to role after role in clinical research and never hear back?

In this episode of the Clinical Trial Podcast, we unpack what's really happening behind the scenes in the hiring process.

Because getting hired isn't just about your technical skills. It's about how hiring managers assess risk, how recruiters decide who to champion, and who actually gets attention versus who gets ignored.

Kunal Sampat is joined by Giovanni Lauricella, Co-Founder and CEO of Lifeblood, an executive search firm specializing in MedTech. With over 15 years of experience placing board members, C-suite leaders, and cross-functional talent globally, Giovanni brings a unique perspective from inside the hiring process.

In this episode, you'll learn:

  • Why strong candidates get filtered out before interviews
  • What hiring managers are actually looking for
  • How recruiters decide who to champion for
  • What it really takes to break into and advance in clinical research

If you've ever felt stuck in your job search or wondered why the process feels like a black box, this conversation will give you a clearer understanding of how hiring decisions are actually made.
