Personnel Search
Pharmadrome provides specialised personnel search and selection services for life sciences companies, using direct search methodology and applying a success fee model.
Direct Search
Direct search, also known as headhunting, is a targeted recruitment method where recruiters proactively identify and engage potential candidates who are not actively seeking new jobs. This approach involves methodical research and personalised outreach to passive talent, leveraging professional networks and industry intelligence to find candidates whose qualifications precisely match specific position requirements. Direct search is commonly used for hard-to-fill specialist roles, niche technical positions, or any situation where the ideal candidate is unlikely to respond to traditional job postings.
Recruitment Model
Contingent Search
The contingent search model offers a no-placement, no-fee service for companies seeking to fill specialist or mid-to-upper level management positions. It is the most widely used recruitment model due to its low-risk appeal, as the fee is payable only upon successful placement.
Recruitment Process
Analysis
Every recruitment process starts with a thorough job brief to analyse our client's needs, determine the ideal candidate's profile and assess the unique selling points of the role to attract suitable candidates.
Strategy
We set out a sourcing strategy to successfully identify and recruit high-quality candidates by mapping the market using our market intelligence and exclusive database of industry professionals.
Sourcing
Sourcing is the process where we focus on identifying, assessing and engaging prospective candidates through market mapping and a proactive approach to generate interest in the opportunity.
Selection
Once we identify potential candidates, we perform a thorough screening process that evaluates their career track record, technical skills and cultural fit. We then present the most suitable candidates for the client's evaluation.
Interviews
We help our clients to coordinate the interviewing process and take care of all the logistical arrangements. During this stage, the client can also choose to use an assessment centre, psychometric or technical testing as part of the vetting process.
References
Once the interviewing process is complete, we perform the final pre-employment verifications on each applicant by collecting reference checks from their nominated referees.
Placement
Upon selection, we help prepare a hiring package and ensure that all of our placed candidates are supported during the transition and onboarding stages to make an immediate impact.
