McKesson Case Study: A Partnership Success

McKesson Corporation is an American company distributing pharmaceuticals and providing health information technology, medical supplies, and care management tools. The company delivers a third of all pharmaceuticals used in North America and employs over 78,000 employees worldwide. 

Their EU Technical Headquarters is based in Cork and holds Quality, Regulatory, Supply Chain, IT & Finance departments. Mason Alexander is a tier 1 preferred supplier to McKesson, delivering staffing solutions across multiple functions at all levels.

Challenge:

• Significant growth (specifically in 2022/23) due to major investment in the expansion of product portfolio
• Struggled to attract talent over local competition
• A smaller company in Cork compared to the larger manufacturing sites so employer branding presence was not as significant in the area

Solution:

• Partnered with the Internal TA team and individual hiring managers across several departments to understand full scope of hiring needs & customer profile
• Strong focus on agility and efficiency with access to known top-tier passive talent in the local market
• Consistent networking with and shortlisting candidates in the local market

Outcome:

• Successfully sourced the required positions within the agreed timeline
• All candidates placed are still in their roles and many have progressed into management roles
• Continue to have a close working relationship with McKesson since the first project. Mason Alexander is a tier 1 preferred supplier to McKesson, delivering staffing solutions across multiple functions at all levels.
