Sound Familiar?
The Life Sciences Recruitment Challenge — and the Solution
The Problem
- Scientific and regulatory vacancies open for months while clinical timelines slip and product launches are delayed
- Generalist recruiters who cannot distinguish a QP from a Regulatory Affairs Manager — and send you the wrong profile
- CVs that list GxP experience but reveal no understanding of your therapeutic area in interview
- Senior scientific hires who leave within six months because the regulatory environment or pipeline stage was misrepresented
- No understanding of niche disciplines — QP certification, ATMP manufacturing, pharmacovigilance, or clinical data management
- Shortlists built around availability, not genuine scientific or regulatory suitability
The Pharmakia Solution
- Every candidate assessed for scientific depth, regulatory knowledge, GxP competency, and organisational fit before you see them
- Specialists who understand the difference between a QP role and a Regulatory Affairs Director mandate — and why that matters
- Access to 60,000+ verified UK and EMEA life sciences professionals across six disciplines
- Shortlist of 3-5 candidates with detailed profiles covering qualifications, regulatory experience, and sector-specific background
- Executive search capability for Director, VP, and C-Suite life sciences appointments
- 12-week placement guarantee — because we stand behind every hire we make

Why Pharmakia

Every shortlisted candidate is presented with a detailed profile covering qualifications, regulatory experience, GxP competency, and sector-specific background — not just a CV and a job title.
Executive Life Sciences Search
For Director, VP, and C-Suite appointments, our retained search reaches candidates who are not on the open market — the scientific and commercial leaders who define organisational capability.
