Thoughts on being employed in the year 2025 in the Quality Management System Space

This video features Michael A. Delitala, an experienced Quality Management System (QMS) professional and author, discussing the challenges faced by seasoned experts in landing corporate roles, particularly within the pharmaceutical and life sciences sectors. He highlights his extensive experience as a project and business lead for implementing computerized QMS, specifically mentioning Veeva, Digital Trackwise, and SAP, as well as developing an "artificially intelligent natural language processing machine learning AI deviation trending tool." Delitala expresses frustration over immediate rejections despite being highly qualified for numerous open Veeva positions, attributing this to potential issues with AI resume screening bots, hiring managers' unclear requirements, or companies' reluctance to pay competitive salaries for experienced talent. He provocatively suggests that unless hired, he will publish a detailed guide revealing industry secrets for implementing Veeva and Digital Trackwise QMS.

Key Takeaways:

• High Demand for Veeva & Trackwise Expertise: The video underscores the significant presence and demand for expertise in Veeva and Digital Trackwise within the QMS space, critical platforms for pharmaceutical and life sciences companies.
• AI's Role in QMS and Hiring: The speaker's personal experience with an "AI deviation trending tool" demonstrates practical AI applications in quality management. Concurrently, his hypothesis that AI resume screening bots are hindering experienced candidates points to both the potential and current limitations of AI in talent acquisition for specialized roles.
• Value of Deep Industry Knowledge: The speaker's frustration highlights a potential disconnect between the need for deep, practical knowledge in regulated QMS implementations and the current hiring processes, which may undervalue extensive experience.
• Opportunity for Knowledge Transfer/Consulting: The speaker's "threat" to publish detailed implementation guides for Veeva and Trackwise suggests a market need for accessible, practical guidance and consulting services for these complex systems.
• Market Dynamics for Specialized Talent: The discussion on salary expectations and the perceived preference for younger, less expensive talent reveals a challenging market dynamic for highly experienced professionals in critical compliance and operations roles.
