Recruitment

The Pharmaceutical Industry continues to be a growth area in the economy and companies are always looking out for suitable recruits within all areas from medical sales, through basic research to regulatory affairs. Finding the right people is a long and difficult process. This area of business is often passed on to consultants and professional recruiting agencies.

  • Do you have the skills to locate the right person for a senior position in the pharmaceutical industry?

  • Can you discuss the position from a position of knowledge and understanding?

  • Do you want to use your scientific knowledge indirectly in this way rather than directly working in a laboratory?

Careers in this area can be entered directly from a degree in Pharmacology or after further training at M.Sc./Ph.D. level. Specific training in human resources will often be given by the company.
