Our recruitment solutions – Pharmaceuticals & Chemicals
The changing pharmaceutical industry faces intense recruitment challenges
The UK pharmaceuticals, healthcare and chemicals sector is facing a series of major macro-economic challenges. Rapid technological advances and the need for constant innovation are forcing companies to transform themselves rapidly. Rising regulatory requirements and pressure on costs are also increasing the complexity of operations. In addition, demographic challenges are playing a powerful role: the demand and supply curves for skills are shifting, making the recruitment of skilled talent particularly complex.
Major HR challenges in the face of a shortage of talent and a strong need for training
These challenges are reflected in significant recruitment issues. There is a severe shortage of talent, particularly for certain positions. Companies in the pharmaceutical and chemical sector are facing high volatility and potential employee disengagement due to increasing demands and a lack of trained profiles. Recruitment challenges include the need to source candidates with not only basic technical skills, but also essential soft skills. Developing and retaining talent is more than ever on the agenda for the pharmaceuticals and chemicals industry.

Focus on R&D
By 2022, more than 80% of pharmaceutical market revenues in the UK will come from prescription medicines, mainly as a result of significant investment in research and development. This focus on innovation, combined with strict regulatory requirements, increases the complexity of the healthcare sector and the need for specialist talent.
