Salary: Up to £27,000 basic (dependant on experience)

About Blue Pelican:

Blue Pelican has been around since 2001 and was founded by 3 partners on the basis of 'recruitment done better’. Since then we’ve grown and evolved, driven by the changing face of recruitment and that of the dynamic markets we’re established within. Never has that agility been more tested than in 2020/21, and we’re proud to have supported both our staff and our customers through these turbulent times.

At our core are our people, some who have been with us for 10+ years, and have helped shape our vision, strategy and culture. Each is highly knowledgeable in their specialist areas and knows what it means to offer a 'professional consultancy service’.

We punch well above our weight for a firm in Tunbridge Wells, enjoying preferred (and sometimes sole) supplier status to a good number of the UK and Europe’s biggest brand names and employers.

We do all of this in a friendly and informal environment with a culture that is based on honesty, openness, communication and teamwork. Of course that’s predominantly remotely right now but we still work hard to come together online regularly and support each other.

The Role:

We’re looking to add to our Pharmaceutical division with a full 360 Recruiter working alongside a highly motivated and well respected team with a real passion for their sector. We’re open to what specialist niche you might like to focus on, and will want you to support recruitment for multinational clients in a wide range of roles up to VP/C-Suite within that space. You will also be able to plan the expansion of your market including working with existing clients and candidates who know and trust Blue Pelican.

We’re looking for someone to work highly autonomously as part of a very tight knit and supportive team.

The team:

Our Pharma Division has been at the heart of Blue Pelican since it’s inception. We take a strategic approach to the development of our client base and enjoy a number of long term deep client relationships. Our clients range from top 5 global pharma to tiny, niche start-ups.
