How a life sciences brief actually runs

The specialism shapes part of the workflow, but most of it is the same. Whether the role is a Qualified Person at a pharma manufacturing site or an MSL covering a niche therapeutic area, we follow the same methodical process so nothing slips.

1. Specialism-specific brief

If it is a regulatory role, we know your therapeutic area's submission landscape. If it is QA in pharma manufacturing, we know what data integrity looks like in audit. We come prepared, not script-reading.

2. Salary calibration

Every shortlist is calibrated against current UK life sciences salary data plus what we are seeing live across the desk this month. Sponsor-experience differentials, GxP loading, and London / Cambridge / Northern hub deltas all factored in.

3. Vetted, ranked shortlist

Three to five candidates per brief. ICH-GCP, EU GMP, NEBOSH where relevant, and right-to-work confirmed before introduction. Each ranked against the brief with a written note on regulatory background and motivation.

4. Offer and start support

We coordinate the offer, manage counter-offer pressure, line up the start date and any pre-employment screening, and check in at week 2, 6 and 12.

Specialisms we deliberately do not cover

Clinical-bedside healthcare, pure academic research, very junior individual contributors, and senior corporate executive search above £200k base sit best with sector specialists. We will refer rather than try to compete.
