WEST ORANGE, N.J.

ZRG Partners Inc. announces the results of its third quarter Global Life Sciences Hiring Index. Q3 reflects an overall decline of 5.1%, despite the Outsourcing and Services sectors posting their highest level of hiring in the history of the Index. The Q2 sharp increase in hiring in the Asia Pacific Region has been met with an equally sharp decrease for Q3, and the declines for the quarter in Medical Devices, overall drove the hiring indexes down.

ZRG Managing Director David Fortier commented, “The index results correlate with macro-economic and policy influences. For example, the medical device sector, faced with increasingly cost-conscious customers along with a larger tax burden via the ACA, is taking a cautious approach to hiring as part of its effort to reduce costs and enhance competitiveness.” A closer look at the data highlights even larger divergences within individual sectors and geographies.
