83% of pharma firms say they can't find skilled talent. 75% expect it to get worse.

And the roles that matter most — the ones tied to clinical timelines, launch windows, regulatory milestones — are taking 2–3 months to fill. That's not a pipeline problem. That's a risk problem.

Cassie Dunn, Phenom's Director of Industry Leadership, breaks down why pharma TA teams are caught between compliance requirements and the speed the business demands — and how AI is helping them get out of the middle.

"Time-to-fill isn't just an HR metric here. It's a critical business risk."

Amsterdam. September 9–10.

Phenom's Sebastian Hust is heading to the European Transformational CHRO Assembly to lead a workshop called "HR" Is Over. Here's What's Next.

It's a provocation worth sitting with. The CHROs reshaping their organizations aren't defending HR's seat at the table. They're changing what the table looks like — how talent is found, how people grow, and how AI fits into that picture without replacing the human judgment at the center of it.

Sebastian will be in the room for those conversations. If you'll be there too, connect with him ahead of the event.

Before you open a new req, it's worth asking: do you already have this person?

Experienced commercial underwriters are retiring, and the external talent pool isn't keeping up. But some carriers are finding the answer inside their own organizations — people with adjacent skills who could grow into these roles with the right development path.
