Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. If you’ve identified talent, we can handle onboarding, payroll, benefits, and compliance. This is often the fastest path to deployment.
Typical deployment is 2–4 weeks from kickoff, depending on role complexity, credentialing, background checks, and market conditions. For payrolling-only (you source the candidate), timelines can be shorter.
No. PrincetonOne Life Sciences Staffing is not a transactional staffing arrangement—it’s a seamless extension of your partnership with us. Whether we source the talent or you do, we deliver a white-glove, fully managed experience that mirrors our RPO and Direct Hire engagements. You get consistency, brand alignment, and integrated support.
Absolutely. Many of our clients use PrincetonOne Life Sciences Staffing as a bridge-to-hire model. If you decide to convert a PrincetonOne Life Sciences Staffing employee to a full-time employee (FTE), we make that process simple, compliant, and affordable. Our team will assist with off-boarding and coordinating a smooth transition into your internal workforce.
We support a wide range of pharmaceutical and life sciences roles, including field sales, commercial strategy, medical affairs, and market access. We also staff back-office functions like HR, IT, and finance. Whether you need pre-commercial talent, coverage for FMLA, or surge support during a product launch, we can help.
We utilize an employer of record (EOR) model partner to manage the administrative back-office function. The partner is responsible for all employment-related functions, including payroll, taxes, benefits, and workers’ comp. This reduces co-employment risk and simplifies the legal structure for your team.
We offer flexible billing options depending on your contracting preferences. Most clients choose to be invoiced weekly with Net 30 terms. Our team will walk you through both options during implementation. We have a transparent billing model that is based off each candidate’s pay rate.
