Experienced Pharmaceutical Recruitment Company

The pharmaceutical sector is a dynamic market of manufacturing and research, resulting in a constant demand for a range of skilled professionals. Driven by a uniting goal of next-generation medications, vaccinations, developments and general public health, businesses continue to expand into new markets and pathways of disease prevention, treatment & cure.

As a trusted pharmaceutical recruitment agency with nearly 14 years of experience, we excel in pairing clients and candidates to fulfil temporary, permanent, and contract pharmaceutical-related roles across the UK and beyond.

Pharmaceutical Industry Overview

There are estimated to be over 73,000 people employed within the UK pharmaceutical market, however, demand for skilled workers remains greater than ever.

Why is this? Well, your typical pharmaceutical business will be working towards advancing the medical sector in one way or another. Key skillsets surrounding this responsibility include research, development, preclinical and clinical, regulatory, and commercialisation.

Expertise of this kind is always required and continuously evolving, which is why a pharmaceutical recruitment agency partner is valuable. Talking to and with both clients and candidates each day helps us to navigate emerging trends, sought-after skills and the next developments in pharma, all of which we can feed into our approach to filling roles. 

For example, consumer safety is central to the industry, making regulatory requirements paramount for ensuring the safety and effectiveness of all manufactured pharmaceuticals. International Regulatory Bodies that govern the pharmaceutical industry include the MHRA in the United Kingdom, the WHO and the FDA . 

There’s a current high demand for compliance-focused work backgrounds. Jobs such as Regulatory Affairs Specialists, Quality Assurance Professionals and Compliance Officers are growing each day so that knowledge of new revisions of regulatory guidelines can feed into internal teams. 

Pharmaceutical Market Trends

The market is heavily competitive, companies often rely on a pharma recruitment company to source candidates, but also to deliver intel on the landscape of the wider sector. Consultant hiring knowledge often displays the demands of specific roles and skillsets, which as a client, you can reflect in your own recruitment strategy.

The UK pharmaceutical market occupies a strong R&D focus, meanwhile, the US and international territories fulfil high-volume production demands. Both pathways are growing, putting speed at the core of their work. The race to shelves sees the concept-to-clinic journey embrace all kinds of new technologies, including AI, machine learning, data and other algorithms.

The UK government is committing record amounts of R&D investment, expected to reach £20 billion annually by 20240/2025. Funding includes £121 million to enhance commercial clinical trials, assigned to specifically speed up trials and improve access to real-time trial data. 

In the same breadth, the manufacturing and global phenomena that is drug production has thrived in recent years, with supply chains offshored to India, US and China, and new precision engineering avenues being implemented from individual batches upwards.  Continuous manufacturing, process analytical technology (PAT) and process modelling are just some of the next-generation tools the FDA have endorsed in pharmaceutical manufacturing.

There is also an obvious rise in personalised medicine based on genetic profiles and targeted therapy pathways, resulting in tailored-to-individual medications expected to be the norm.
