In a nutshell we are a specialist provider to the medical and healthcare communications sector so work across the following specialist markets:

We also support some CROs who have medical communications departments and recruit into pharmaceutical/biotech companies for digital experts, publication planners/writers and senior medical communication/PR/public affairs roles.
The roles we recruit for include:
- Medical Writers of all levels from PhDs to Editorial Director/Writing Managers

- Regulatory/Clinical writers (through our sister company Regulatory Professionals)
- HR/Talent Acquisition professionals at all levels (through our HR/TA Consultant)
We feel we offer a very different service due to the way we specialise in each individual area and how we work with candidates on a one-to-one basis, building a relationship with them and ensuring they have one point of contact and someone accountable for their job search and career development. We also have specialists working with each client, and when a new role comes through we call to get detailed information and ‘stop the business’ within the team so every Consultant fully understands the brief and the key candidate criteria, before then each working together to find the best talent for the role as quickly as possible. In this way you can be sure you’ll only get the most up-to-date and relevant candidates for your job roles. The candidates we send over we believe should be interviewed and our detailed coversheet will explain reasoning behind this. In a candidate short environment we often find someone may not tick all the boxes, but having rigorously interviewed them we feel they have the right attitude and aptitude to make up for any skills they lack.
We are a consultative staffing business which means we may challenge clients and candidates, but only because we are industry and recruitment experts and are best placed to offer you timely and up-to-date advice on the market. We believe we offer the best recruitment service out there and will work tirelessly with candidates and clients to find the solutions they need.
