I intend this to become a semi-regular (semi so I’m not nailing myself to the cross!) on what areas we are seeing particular levels of activity in. So let’s get started:

Pharma / Medical Device Sales. My colleague Richard is always on the lookout for superb candidates who have extensive experience in these areas. All of the roles on Sales and Marketing.ie are live and he is always easy to reach at the end of the phone.

In Science / Healthcare, there are a couple of areas attracting interest:

Drug Safety / Pharmacovigilance / Medical Science Liaison: This is an area we are seeing a high level of demand in. We have a number of roles available in different therapeutic areas, some requiring a Medical training, some looking for a nurse and others needing someone with a higher level qualification in the spoecific area.

Microbiology: We currently have 2 Micro lab manager position available, together with some lower level roles for less experienced Microbiologists.

Healthcare: in healthcare currently we have a couple of interesting roles in audiology / hearing aids, together with a Nurse Manager vacancy, both permanent roles with private organisations.

As always, we’re on the end of the phone to give advice, whether it’s help with a CAO form (you’d be surprised!), a graduate looking to assitance with job searching, right up to consuilting with executives looking to take the next step, so get in touch.

NOT in Science: well for me, it’s running. There seems to be a huge amount of people taking to the streets to get fit, which is great. Good luck to everyone training for the Dublin City Marathon on the 26th, for me it’s all about not overexerting myself and staying injury / sickness free until then. I’m looking to quality for Boston in under 3 hr 11 min, pressure is on!

Oh, and of course Google Wave and Dublinbikes, both of which are soooo hot right now!
