Life Science launches its Web 2.0 Periodic Table

Life Science Recruitment launches its Web 2.0 Periodic Table

Life Science Recruitment is a specialist scientific and healthcare recruitment company based in Dublin and is the first Irish recruitment company to develop a portfolio of industry-specific recruitment websites. Presented in an innovative periodic table format (Life Science Periodic Table), the aim is to make job-seeking in specific vertical markets more relevant, targeted and efficient for candidates.

The company’s market research into recruitment trends in Ireland began in late 2007 and results from a recent online survey conducted on the lifescience.ie website indicated that 67% of respondents said they wanted to see less duplicated jobs online, while 73% of respondents said they wanted to see more niche websites dealing in their specific professional fields. The culmination of this research has been the development of the “strategic online presence” comprising 15 industry-specific websites and a Web 2.0 footprint made up of a number of blogs, combined with a presence on Facebook, twitter and other social media resources.

Each industry-specific website is tailored to the jobseeker; pharmaceutical.ie for jobseekers in the pharmaceutical sector, medicaldevice.ie for the jobseekers in the medical device sector and so on. Each website contains latest jobs from Life Science Recruitment, academic institutes and featured industry partners only, as well as industry sector overviews and career advice targeted to the specific end-user. These websites have an unrivalled presence in the search engines, compared to competitors.

According to Seth Godin, author of numerous best-selling marketing books and internet marketing guru, “Big companies, non-profits and even candidates will discover hyperlocal, hyperspecialized, hyperrelevant… this is where we are going, and it turns out that this time, the media is way ahead of the marketers.” Life Science Recruitment’s strategic online presence aims to encapsulate these three maxims as it moves forward with the changing face of the recruitment industry in Ireland.

The management team at Life Science Recruitment brings over 20 years of recruitment experience to the table, combined with an academic grounding in life science and technology.
