Beaufort, LLC, provides uniquely qualified senior Clinical Research Associates (CRAs) with specialized areas of expertise on short timelines. Our network includes more than 200 contract CRAs worldwide with a minimum of eight years experience who are thoroughly vetted through our proprietary recruitment process. Highly qualified monitors mean low turnover rates and improved efficiency for our clients.
Recruiting Strategy
Our turnover rate is so low because our proprietary recruiting process is so intensive. All potential monitors are interviewed at least twice.
Our Recruiting Process Includes:
- Thorough CV review to ensure specific minimum requirements are met
- Comprehensive survey detail the candidate’s complete clinical background
- Writing sample to demonstrate an ability to communicate succinctly and precisely while protecting sponsor confidentiality
- Comprehensive survey detail the candidate’s complete clinical background
- Debarment and NIDPOE check
- Screen for personality traits identified as critical to a CRA’s success
- Sponsor-specific screening questions
Beaufort’s monitors, located around the world to minimize travel costs, possess the highest degree of professionalism and a firm commitment to patient safety and data integrity.
They also must have:
- A minimum of eight years field monitoring experience
- Degrees in science or health-related area
- Complex therapeutic experience
- Experience managing multiple indications simultaneously
