We are experts in permanent, direct
to headcount recruitment of sales, marketing and management personnel within
the pharmaceutical and healthcare industries. As
the industry’s leading advertiser we have vast market presence and powerful
reach. Combine this with our dynamic and experienced team (regionally
based consultants and office based resourcers) and we are able to leverage
our network to ensure we are working with the very best candidates. Our
ethos is one of partnership; therefore we respect and appreciate our client’s
brief and recruit to it with rigorous screening of a candidate’s ability,
aptitude, desire and compatibility for the role in question. We have
a long list of exclusive and preferred agreements with large, medium and small
companies from right across the healthcare sector. From the strength
our recruitment heritage brings we now own the position of being the ‘boutique’ agency – delivering
precisely tailored solutions rather than regurgitating an off the shelf
package.
Vacancy Management
Working to the same exacting standards as for permanent recruitment we are able
to facilitate your proactive management of short term or unexpected vacancies. With
STAR Vacancy Management you will benefit from our recruitment heritage ensuring
that we find you exactly the right calibre of candidate for flexible vacancy
cover due to secondments, maternity, sickness, headcount freezes etc. This
also creates an opportunity to ‘try before you buy’ removing the
intrinsic risks of recruiting into an established team by, in effect, outsourcing
the candidates’ probation period. With legal separation you are
assured that the employment liability lies firmly with us in addition to the
intensive resource allocation associated with the employee’s induction
and ongoing operations management.
Specialist Flexible Outsourcing
At STAR we believe that a successful outsourcing partnership relies
on mutual understanding and alignment of goals, expectations and culture.
Following a thorough understanding of your brief we are able to provide
the correct resource for any role/function/project you may wish to outsource. The
key here is that you reap the benefits of outsourcing i.e. you don’t
have to worry about it anymore – we do! We offer the full support
package for you to choose from, ranging from marketing, interviewing, training,
technical support, analytics, informatics and of course administration. You
can have confidence that the resource we provide will be resourced, administered
and managed smoothly and successfully.
Dedicated Tailored Teams
Despite the backdrop of the recent industry consolidation STAR continues
to win hearts and minds, rapidly becoming the organisation of choice for
companies wishing to strategically outsource their sales team to a specialist,
flexible and passionate partner. We are reliably and energetically
managing outsourced sales teams across Pharmaceuticals, Nutrition, Woundcare
and Orthopaedics. We can provide everything you need for the recruitment,

or differential resourcing initiative.

expertise we can help ensure that you are contracting intelligently and that
you are maximising your investment. We are experts in resourcing for
