Hiring a chemist for QC, on shift, is likely to turn out short term.
People don't spend 4 years in school working in a tough discipline to work 4 12 hour midnight shifts, then days, the 3 nights, then days...
As soon as they find a daytime test lab, or a gig in R&D, it's arrivederci.
I've seen it. Company had the bright idea to ONLY higher lab techs with a 4 year technical degree. No associates, no degrees in other subjects, no technical short course grads. Place was a revolving door.
5 people on shift, and at least 2 were always in training.
They started allowing folks with those credentials I mentioned and they started losing 1 per year, but a third of the time, it was an internal, upward move.
