Team & Contact

TAILOR-MADE RECRUITMENT

We know that every recruitment is unique. That's why we adapt each assignment to the company culture, team composition and role requirements. We help you identify the right competencies and provide insight into the market situation and the availability of candidates.

Our consulting process is characterized by:

• Competency-based interviews
• Personality assessments with validated testing tools (verbal, numerical, logical reasoning)

We have often already done much of the preparatory work - thanks to proactive work with the market and over 1000 annual interviews with Life Science specialists. Below you will find what our standardized process looks like, which we always start from to meet the client's needs.

"Team Fit Test" - for better teams and safer recruitments

What makes a high-performing team?

During the spring, together with psychologists and some of our customers, our recruitment team investigated this question. Along the way, we also explored what impact recruiting the wrong person can have when trying to build this “high-performing team”. What we could see is that the teams where a hiring manager has made a SWOT of their team (including skills & personality) before kicking off recruitment normally led to selecting a person who was a better complement to the team and as a result, improved team performance overall.

Therefore, when you use PharmaRelations as a Recruitment Partner, a full mapping of your existing team and how they complement each other will be included as a part of our process. By choosing to incorporate this “team fit test” you will have hard facts to refer to in your selection of the best candidate.

This is how our new process works – in reality.
