CULTURAL FIT
YOUR TRUSTED PARTNER
INTERPERSONAL SKILLS
BE AN IDEAL CANDIDATE
“The ideal candidate is
the one who displays a
genuine desire to learn
the job and contribute
to the department.”
“When all other things
are equal, personality
and the ability to fit in
can be the deciding
factor.”
It’s not always about the technical
knowledge you’ve acquired—hiring
managers place equal emphasis on
interpersonal skills.
The candidate who fits in with
the company and team will land
the job. Nearly 70% of scientific and
clinical hiring managers say cultural fit plays an
important role in your evaluation as a candidate.
Scientists often work in group and team settings and interact
with many functional groups within the organization. Therefore,
conflict management, negotiating, and strong communication
skills are key abilities to demonstrate.
Pro tip:
It takes more than one factor to grab the attention
of a scientific and clinical hiring manager. Remember
to present yourself as a well-rounded candidate, and you’ll be in a great
position to get hired.
Survey methodology: The 2015 Hiring Manager Research (U.S./Canada) was conducted by RDA Group®
on behalf of Kelly Services®
. More than 1,000 hiring managers
in the U.S. and Canada were surveyed. Participants had direct-hiring responsibilities for talent in healthcare, engineering, finance and accounting, IT, and scientific fields.
Results represent a cross section of industries and career disciplines. Of the total surveyed, 212 were scientific and clinical hiring managers.
Hiring managers are regularly looking to evaluate the following interpersonal skills:
Behavior-based questions
Hiring managers observe your
mannerisms and nonverbal cues during
an interview to evaluate these skills. They
also listen to the questions you ask to
assess your attitude and interest in the
position. Behavioral questions, however,
are the top way that your interpersonal
skills will be put to the test.
Can you listen and
comprehend well?
Do you have a
positive attitude?
Can you collaborate
with the team?
Do you work well
under pressure?
Tell me about a situation in which you had
to make a quick decision
Tell me about a time when you had to deal
with conflict with a team member
Describe a time when you were involved in a
stressful situation, but still got the job done
Examples of behavior-based questions:

OBSERVATIONS FROM
HIRING MANAGERS
Technical skills matter when it comes to securing an interview.
TECHNICAL SKILLS
OBSERVATIONS FROM
SCIENTIFIC AND CLINICAL
HIRING MANAGERS
“What impresses me
most is the ability to
recognize a problem. They
may not be able to solve
it independently, but they
can pick up on an error and
bring it to my attention.”
Pro tip:
Be specific when it comes to your lab skills. For clinical
research, showcase why you are an industry leader in your
specific clinical phase, therapeutic areas (display up to three
different areas), and your data, reporting, software, and
cloud-based skills.
8 in 10 scientific and clinical hiring
managers will match the skills listed on your
résumé to the job description they are hiring
for to determine if you should be offered an interview.
DO YOU HAVE WHAT SCIENTIFIC HIRING
MANAGERS ARE LOOKING FOR?
60% of scientific and
clinical hiring managers
struggle to find people with the right combination of skills
for the job. An ideal candidate scores high marks across
three different categories.
IDEAL
CANDIDATE
INTERPERSONAL
SKILLS
CULTURAL
FIT
TECHNICAL
SKILLS
A company’s culture can also be assessed
by talking to past and present employees in
person or via LinkedIn®
, checking peer review
sites such as Glassdoor®
, or by speaking with
a knowledgeable recruiter.
Pro tip:
Research the company culture ahead of time. Most
companies have a mission statement or “about us”
section on their website. Always ask questions about
the company culture during an interview, and make
sure to communicate why
you would be a good fit.
Underqualified
candidates often lack
three top interpersonal
skills: a sense of personal
accountability, a self-directed
or self-motivated mindset,
and a positive work ethic.
Technical
skills vary by job and
industry. A few that are
important for all scientific
professionals to have include
project management skills,
multidisciplinary research
skills, and statically skills.

CULTURAL FIT YOUR TRUSTED PARTNER INTERPERSONAL SKILLS BE AN IDEAL CANDIDATE “The ideal candidate is the one who displays a genuine desire to learn the job and contribute to the department.” “When all other things are equal, personality and the ability to fit in can be the deciding factor.” It’s not always about the technical knowledge you’ve acquired—hiring managers place equal emphasis on interpersonal skills. The candidate who fits in with the company and team will land the job. Nearly 70% of scientific and clinical hiring managers say cultural fit plays an important role in your evaluation as a candidate. Scientists often work in group and team settings and interact with many functional groups within the organization. Therefore, conflict management, negotiating, and strong communication skills are key abilities to demonstrate. Pro tip: It takes more than one factor to grab the attention of a scientific and clinical hiring manager. Remember to present yourself as a well-rounded candidate, and you’ll be in a great position to get hired. Survey methodology: The 2015 Hiring Manager Research (U.S./Canada) was conducted by RDA Group® on behalf of Kelly Services® . More than 1,000 hiring managers in the U.S. and Canada were surveyed. Participants had direct-hiring responsibilities for talent in healthcare, engineering, finance and accounting, IT, and scientific fields. Results represent a cross section of industries and career disciplines. Of the total surveyed, 212 were scientific and clinical hiring managers. Hiring managers are regularly looking to evaluate the following interpersonal skills: Behavior-based questions Hiring managers observe your mannerisms and nonverbal cues during an interview to evaluate these skills. They also listen to the questions you ask to assess your attitude and interest in the position. Behavioral questions, however, are the top way that your interpersonal skills will be put to the test. Can you listen and comprehend well? Do you have a positive attitude? Can you collaborate with the team? Do you work well under pressure? Tell me about a situation in which you had to make a quick decision Tell me about a time when you had to deal with conflict with a team member Describe a time when you were involved in a stressful situation, but still got the job done Examples of behavior-based questions: Search for scientific jobs on our Kelly Career Network® Sign up for our Science Career Tips Newsletter Visit kellyservices.us/sciencecareers for more career insights OBSERVATIONS FROM HIRING MANAGERS Technical skills matter when it comes to securing an interview. TECHNICAL SKILLS OBSERVATIONS FROM SCIENTIFIC AND CLINICAL HIRING MANAGERS “What impresses me most is the ability to recognize a problem. They may not be able to solve it independently, but they can pick up on an error and bring it to my attention.” Pro tip: Be specific when it comes to your lab skills. For clinical research, showcase why you are an industry leader in your specific clinical phase, therapeutic areas (display up to three different areas), and your data, reporting, software, and cloud-based skills. 8 in 10 scientific and clinical hiring managers will match the skills listed on your résumé to the job description they are hiring for to determine if you should be offered an interview. DO YOU HAVE WHAT SCIENTIFIC HIRING MANAGERS ARE LOOKING FOR? 60% of scientific and clinical hiring managers struggle to find people with the right combination of skills for the job. An ideal candidate scores high marks across three different categories. IDEAL CANDIDATE INTERPERSONAL SKILLS CULTURAL FIT TECHNICAL SKILLS A company’s culture can also be assessed by talking to past and present employees in person or via LinkedIn® , checking peer review sites such as Glassdoor® , or by speaking with a knowledgeable recruiter. Pro tip: Research the company culture ahead of time. Most companies have a mission statement or “about us” section on their website. Always ask questions about the company culture during an interview, and make sure to communicate why you would be a good fit. Underqualified candidates often lack three top interpersonal skills: a sense of personal accountability, a self-directed or self-motivated mindset, and a positive work ethic. Technical skills vary by job and industry. A few that are important for all scientific professionals to have include project management skills, multidisciplinary research skills, and statically skills.
