Recruiters are a necessary evil in most industries. Especially Pharma.
Clearly a lot of you are in a position where you have free time to swan around on Linkedin looking for 4-5 heads to add to your staff, with specific skills and experience????
I on the other hand am not, i'm a busy senior professional with direct reports of 10 staff.
We are working hard and have expanded quite a bit since I started this project in 2010.
I work with one company, that has offices in a number of countries that can help with my global projects. And I have used them for the past 5 years. Not a bad word to say, I negotiated a set rate so I never get over charged and they manage all of my interviews and even my diary on the day of the interviews!
Come back to this site when you have to hire everyone in your team - then badmouth another human being that's trying to make a living.
