A Top 10 pharmaceutical company approached ECA Recruiters after an unsuccessful 60-day effort to fill a dermatology specialty sales role in the Dallas market.

The position required:

• Experience in dermatology or specialty pharma
• Ability to cover both metro Dallas and surrounding rural territory
• Proven track record of sales performance

Despite internal efforts and multiple channels, they were unable to identify qualified candidates—leaving a key territory uncovered and impacting revenue.

• Deep network access: Leveraged our proprietary database of 175,000+ pharmaceutical sales professionals along with referral networks
