Vakula Connect is our regular update for consultants deciding where to take their next assignment and for clients planning their next programme. This edition covers Q4 2025.
Market signals
- Device manufacturers entered the final quarter before the QMSR effective date; quality engineers and internal auditors were the most requested profiles.
- Year-end extensions were strong in validation and quality; new requisitions were steady in clinical.
- Regulated IT demand held, particularly for data engineering and testing.
Roles in demand this quarter
Titles that recurred in client requisitions: Quality Engineer (QMSR), Internal Auditor (ISO 13485), Validation Engineer, Data Engineer. Current openings are always on our careers page.
Signal to leaders
The disciplines that were hardest to fill were the ones where clients needed judgement as well as capacity; briefing for the judgement shortened time-to-fill.
At Vakula
Four years in. We published a QMSR readiness checklist and supplied quality engineers on short engagements to close remaining gaps.
