With a long dark winter ahead of us and working from home, it's very easy for all of us to sit at our desk from dawn till dusk. Especially as we're no longer commuting or even able to nip to the shops as much as we used to. We all know that sunlight and exercise are good for your physical and mental health (now more than ever), so let's start a new trend of longer lunch breaks.
We're often asked, "how do I know what version of a job title is best to include in a job advert?"
Here's a quick round up of the key multi-posting tools out there for recruiters in the pharma industry.
Finding the right talent within the Pharma Industry can be hard. Whilst there are a whole range of talent acquisition channels available for the pharma industry, one which is often overlooked is Google.
The employee benefits your company offers could be the reason a candidate chooses your company over another within the Life Sciences industry or vice versa, so it’s important to continuously review your benefits to keep up with your competition and the needs of your employees.
2020 and 2021 saw a huge shift in the way we work, and this has undoubtedly changed the things that are most important to jobseekers when looking for their next pharma job. Although things like competitive salaries and good holiday allowances will always be important to jobseekers, other things such as a good work-life balance and job security are becoming increasingly important in 2022.
As lockdown restrictions begin to ease, it’s time for pharma companies to lay out their plans for their return to ‘normal’ or to even redefine what their ‘normal’ will look like post-pandemic. Many pharma companies have already begun to lay out their plans for a more hybrid future working model which supports employees working both in-office and remotely, inviting more flexibility into the industry and making careers in pharma more accessible and sustainable.
Whilst many Life Science companies have already begun their transition back to in-office working, many are adopting a more hybrid approach to work, with remote working becoming a more permanent solution in the industry going forward.
In today’s competitive job market, simply posting job adverts and hoping to attract strong candidates isn’t enough. Now more than ever, pharma candidates aren’t just looking for information on what they’d be expected to do for you, but are instead looking for what you can do for them. This means that not only should you be focused on selling the role you’re trying to fill, but you should also work on selling your company as a desirable place to work.
Whilst a remote pharma job may have the same job description as an in-office role, these are two very different working environments, and so the things you look for when interviewing candidates may differ.
