💬 Hot Topic in Healthcare Recruitment 💬 With the UK facing financial pressures and an evolving work landscape, is it still sustainable to keep compliance departments onshore in healthcare recruitment? 🤔 Or is offshoring the key to navigating today’s economic climate? 🌍💼 📊 Many top UK healthcare recruitment companies are already shifting their compliance functions offshore, keeping only a few critical roles onshore. This begs the question: What is the best approach for the long-term success and efficiency of our sector? 🚀 💡 Onshore can mean greater control and possibly smoother alignment with UK regulations. 💡 Offshore often offers financial savings and scalability — essential during uncertain times. 📉 With financial constraints impacting the UK, where do you see the balance between cost-effectiveness and operational control? 🔹 If you'd like more information on how I can aid in making a smooth transition from onshore to offshore compliance, please get in touch! 💬 👇 I’d love to hear your insights!

What are the permanent hiring challenges currently impacting the Pharmaceutical sector today? And why is there such an increase in demand for contractors to fill hard to appoint permanent positions? 💡Skills Gap & Talent Shortages The pharmaceutical industry is evolving rapidly, leading to new roles and transformations. The ever growing skills gap, with 80% of pharmaceutical manufacturing facilities experiencing a mismatch between required skills and available talent. ✔Consider upskilling existing employees to bridge the gap and strengthen talent pipelines. 💡Cost of Talent Acquisition While having specific criteria for hiring is essential, expert talent often comes at a higher price than expected. ✔Companies should weigh the cost of external recruitment against upskilling less experienced employees to maintain project continuity. ❗ Regulatory Knowledge and Specialized Skills: The pharmaceutical industry demands specialized expertise due to regulatory requirements and complex processes. ✔Finding candidates with the right combination of knowledge and regulatory understanding can be challenging. ⏱ Time-to-Hire: Hiring across all disciplines within the pharma sector takes time, especially within research and development, compliance, quality and engineering due to niche skill sets and specific regulatory requirements. ✔Companies may need to streamline their recruitment processes to reduce time-to-hire. 📌 Talent Retention: Once hired, retaining talent is crucial. High turnover rates can disrupt projects and impact productivity. ✔Companies should focus on creating a supportive work environment, offering growth opportunities, and recognizing employee contributions. Evidently it is not just the Pharma sector with the ever increasing talent challenges, however there is a significant impact on the sector cause permanent positions to be filled with contract staff. If you are facing similar hiring challenges within Engineering and Manufacturing, please get in touch. 💻 [email protected] 📞0333 010 5346 📲 07802 200 492 💬 IM me on LinkedIn Kieran McGrath Keifer Oxley Aamish Ahmed

✨ 𝗧𝘄𝗼 𝗬𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗧𝗮𝗹𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗔𝗰𝗾𝘂𝗶𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻! ✨ So, yesterday was National TA Day - which closely coincided with my 2 year anniversary here at Barrington James within the Talent Acquisition Team. I want to use this post to highlight the benefits of being part of this side of recruitment 🚀 Benefits of being in TA: ✅ Direct Impact: I'm helping shape the future of the company by bringing in top talent. It’s incredibly fulfilling to build teams that drive innovation and success. ✅ Personal Growth: Every day is an opportunity to hone your communication, negotiation, and problem-solving skills, while learning to assess both skills and cultural fit. ✅ Relationship Building: It is so rewarding to help someone start their career with Barrington James, and watch them achieve great things with us! Some valuable lessons I’ve learned along the way: 🔑 Empathy & Active Listening: It’s not just about filling roles. It’s about understanding people, recognizing potential, and aligning it with the right opportunities. 🔑 Adaptability: Every hiring scenario is different, and staying flexible helps you navigate changing candidate expectations and business needs. 🔑 Resilience: The journey hasn't always been smooth—rejections and shifting priorities have been tough, but they taught me persistence and the importance of long-term relationships. Talent acquisition is not just about filling positions, but making a meaningful impact while growing both professionally and personally. Our TA team is expanding, and I'd love to hear from you if you're looking to make a move into this line of recruitment💼✨ #GlobalTADay #TalentAcquisition #WomenInBusiness #JobOpening #NowHiring #JobOpportunity #CareerOpportunity #TalentAcquisition

𝗚𝗲𝘁 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗶𝗲𝘄 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗱𝘆! Every candidate who goes through the interview process with Team Locum will get interview prep. This is more than just "searching the clients website" (𝘸𝘩𝘪𝘤𝘩 𝘐 𝘥𝘰 𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘳𝘦𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘥) but instead having a more detailed chat on what the client is looking for. As a recruiter you want your candidate to get the job right? So keeping hold of crucial information will only put them at a disadvantage. For all of the opportunities we hire for, its important the candidate has a good understanding of how busy the store is. For Pharmacy, how many items that are being dispensed, what services they are currently doing and how they want to grow this. Finding the common denominator is crucial. Asking the right questions during the pre-screening with both clients and candidates will help make this a lot easier. Remaining professional during the hiring process should be rule number 1, however from time to time both clients and candidates seem to let this slip. This includes bad mouthing ex employers, not being dressed professionally (𝘺𝘦𝘴, 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘯 𝘰𝘯 𝘢 𝘵𝘦𝘢𝘮𝘴 𝘤𝘢𝘭𝘭, 𝘱𝘫'𝘴 𝘢𝘳𝘦𝘯'𝘵 𝘢𝘤𝘤𝘦𝘱𝘵𝘢𝘣𝘭𝘦) and finally being on time and prepared! For recruitment support and advice, speak to our consultants on 0121 451 2707. Its not just employee's who need the extra assistance, we can help clients with what questions to be asking as well as onboarding checks.

With significant investment comes the inevitable need for finding additional talent. This included investing in your existing talent. In times of lower growth, companies with a mature recruitment model will have been pipelining talent in readiness for growth. So how will SME’s compete for that talent?  SCi Partners are continually talking to our existing networks in Biotech and reaching out to prospective professionals, so that we are ready to support when companies need to grow. Growth is coming, is your talent pipeline ready? #biotech #fractional #lifesciences #interim

hVivo announced they will be supporting a large pharma with their Phase 2b, placebo controlled, randomised RSV trial in the second half of 2025. This large contract allows them to continue their work in first human trials where they remain the leader in these services, having conducted circa 70 human challenge trials and inoculating more than 5000 healthy volunteers. Diversifying their offering since their move earlier this year to a new state of the art facility in Canary Wharf, they have tripled their laboratory service, signed contracts for phase 2 phase 3 outpatient clinical site studies, and enhanced their patient recruitment company capabilities. Moving forward this growth in service lines will help them work towards achieving a revenue of £100 million by 2028 alongside the core focus of human challenge trials. https://lnkd.in/euFDyQP5
