Testimonial
We were able to receive Medical Device recruitment assistance from Pharmakia rather immediately. We understood that we were in good hands from the start, when our needs were initially assessed, it is a delight to collaborate with Pharmakia given their market knowledge and capacity to delivery candidates. We can count on Pharmakia whenever we need to address a potential vacancy.
We decided to switch our recruitment and talent acquisition services for a global firm to Pharmakia, based on lack of response and non-communication approach. Especially for placements that they could not fulfill. Pharmakia offers direct and open communication to us, including of hard fulfillment placements. However, what is really valuable is their constant support and their capacity to match candidates to our exact needs.
We urgently needed help with senior QP position and past several months Pharmakia has been our core recruitment consulting partner. They are able to handle our placement enquiries brilliantly and offer continuous communication. There is always a speedy response and our candidate retention has been amazing.
A pleasure to work with Pharmakia and now it feels like they’re part of our expanded team.
Pharmakia was able to provide me with immediate guidance, assistance, and information. My account manager Ash responded promptly and guided me through a challenging placement. Ash was a delight to work with, and his assistance and direction were highly effective.

Our dedicated recruitment consultant helped us fulfill several departmental vacancies across the EMEA market, there is a feel of constant communication and we are very pleased with the speed and match of candidate delivery.
Pharmakia was recommended to us as a specialist recruitment company, and it very early on it became clear that we would enjoy partnering with them based on their response, their communication and capacity to delivery candidates.
My enquiry was addressed immediately, and we begun working on the first position within 3 days. We received our first candidate within the first week and we are very pleased to recommend Pharmakia as a recruiting partner and their continuous communication.
