Science Talents: now also for pharmacists and pharmacy assistants

Never before were there so many vacancies available for pharmacists and pharmacy assistants, as chains and large pharmaceutical companies consistently work with a variety of pharmacists in different positions.

Screening and selecting the most suitable candidates, therefore, is an area that requires focus and expertise. But most pharmacists don't have the time to carry out an extensive search and go through the whole recruitment and selection process and are happy to leave it to Science Talents.

For you, as a future pharmacist or pharmacy assistant, this opens up a lot of opportunities. Our recruiters know the market and can guide you towards a job that perfectly matches your preferences and profile. A job in your own area? A larger or smaller pharmacy company? A role with high or low customer engagement? Anything is possible.

The officina pharmacist and hospital pharmacist, a specific niche

Following the market’s lead, Science Talents is now also focusing on pharmacists and pharmacy assistants, for officina as well as for the hospital pharmacy. A logical extension of the existing target group, given the years of experience in the pharmaceutical industry.

More specifically, this involves the ‘Master in Pharmaceutical Care’, ’Master in Hospital Pharmacy’ and the ‘Pharmaceutical Technical Assistant’ programmes.

Each CV counts

Joining Science Talents is a sensible choice regardless, this includes sending in an open application.

The Science Talents recruiters analyse each CV and build their own database. During their selection process, not only do they go through the responses to a specific vacancy, they also search for suitable profiles in this database.

A number of relevant candidates then get selected for further screening. From this pre-selection, only one or two candidates remain. They are introduced to the relevant organisation for an interview. Because of this focus and targeted match, they have a very real chance of success.

The service goes far beyond linking candidates to a pharmacy. Science Talents guides the candidates towards a successful job interview, manages the administration and ensures a solid and legally valid contract.

In addition, the recruiters also enter into discussions with the companies, continuously managing expectations along the way. This may include working conditions, remuneration and extra-legal benefits, but also work schedules and responsibilities.

This way, candidates know that they will be employed according to market-compliant conditions through Science Talents, fully in line with their education background and skills.

Recruitment and selection, and consultancy

Today, the market for pharmacists and pharmacy assistants is mainly focused on recruitment and selection. The demand for suitable employees is high, and most pharmacies are looking to employ their candidates on a permanent basis.

However, there are also temporary roles, like replacement positions and ad hoc projects. Ideal for those who are looking for a lot of variety or want to quickly gain experience in different environments.

They are on the Science Talents payroll and are seconded, as are the consultants in the pharmaceutical industry. They experience all the benefits of living as a consultant, combined with a fixed monthly income, including all other benefits that Science Talents offers its employees.

Vacancies and job descriptions, a unique skillset

For a pharmacy, there is an important difference between someone who puts together preparations behind the scenes or does the stock management, and the employee who gives advice to customers.

But the management and organisation of the pharmacy also play a role. Some pharmacies are fully automated and robotised, while others focus on personal contact and make a conscious effort to remain accessible to everyone.

During an introduction, Science Talents determines the profile you are looking for, and incorporates all of the abovementioned components in the job description. This is done with the utmost care. The vacancy should be a good reflection of the future job, and appeal to the right candidates from the very beginning.

A better work-life balance, in and outside the pharmacy

A pharmacy by default has long opening hours. For the balance between work and private life, the evolution towards employing more staff is certainly not a bad thing.

By spreading the work over a team of several people, the role of a pharmacist becomes more tenable, and employees will remain in the job in the longer term. And that is necessary, because the demand for pharmacists and pharmacy assistants is high, at officina as well as in the hospital pharmacy.

Everything starts with a good match, between the pharmacy, the position and the candidate. Because when we are happy in our jobs, we job perform better. And Science Talents is happy to help.
