What we offer:
Permanent Recruitment
We are experts in permanent, direct to headcount recruitment of sales, marketing and management personnel within the pharmaceutical and healthcare industries. As the industry's leading advertiser we have vast market presence and powerful reach. Combine this with our dynamic and experienced team (regionally based consultants and office based resourcers) and we are able to leverage our network to ensure we are working with the very best candidates. Our ethos is one of partnership; therefore we respect and appreciate our client's brief and recruit to it with rigorous screening of a candidate's ability, aptitude, desire and compatibility for the role in question. We have a long list of exclusive and preferred agreements with large, medium and small companies from right across the healthcare sector. From the strength our recruitment heritage brings we now own the position of being the 'boutique' agency - delivering precisely tailored solutions rather than regurgitating an off the shelf package.
Vacancy Management
Working to the same exacting standards as for permanent recruitment we are able to facilitate your proactive management of short term or unexpected vacancies. With STAR Vacancy Management you will benefit from our recruitment heritage ensuring that we find you exactly the right calibre of candidate for flexible vacancy cover due to secondments, maternity, sickness, headcount freezes etc. This also creates an opportunity to 'try before you buy' removing the intrinsic risks of recruiting into an established team by, in effect, outsourcing the candidates' probation period. With legal separation you are assured that the employment liability lies firmly with us in addition to the intensive resource allocation associated with the employee’s induction and ongoing operations management.
Specialist Flexible Outsourcing
At STAR we believe that a successful outsourcing partnership relies on mutual understanding and alignment of goals, expectations and culture. Following a thorough understanding of your brief we are able to provide the correct resource for any role/function/project you may wish to outsource. The key here is that you reap the benefits of outsourcing i.e. you don't have to worry about it anymore - we do! We offer the full support package for you to choose from, ranging from marketing, interviewing, training, technical support, analytics, informatics and of course administration. You can have confidence that the resource we provide will be resourced, administered and managed smoothly and successfully.
Dedicated Tailored Teams
Despite the backdrop of the recent industry consolidation STAR continues to win hearts and minds, rapidly becoming the organisation of choice for companies wishing to strategically outsource their sales team to a specialist, flexible and passionate partner. We are reliably and energetically managing outsourced sales teams across Pharmaceuticals, Nutrition, Woundcare and Orthopaedics. We can provide everything you need for the recruitment, logistics and performance management of any team whether it be for a new development, product launch, expansion programme, pilot/hotspot project or differential resourcing initiative.
Intelligent Contracting
If you are going to outsource you need the confidence that you are getting the best return for your investment. With our analytics and informatics expertise we can help ensure that you are contracting intelligently and that you are maximising your investment. We are experts in resourcing for the new business models required for selling to the NHS and can provide specialist expertise around benchmarking, recruiting, assessing, targeting, measuring, evaluating and incentivising Key Account Managers. If you want to be ahead of the game, you need to be working with STAR.
