In an industry under constant regulation and scrutiny, our recruitment goal is unapologetically transparent. We’re here to uncover, evaluate and interview candidates on your behalf that are not only passionate about doing good in the world, but doing it brilliantly.
But how do you entice top talent to leave a role where job security is often guaranteed for years due to long-term clinical trials? In our case, by doing our homework. And lots of it. We’ll interrogate every facet of your business so that we can present a compelling and considered argument for joining your operation. Because the more we know about your culture, processes and commitment to corporate social responsibility, the better the fit we’ll find for you. And it’s this deep understanding that enables us to also headhunt talent outside of the pharmaceutical sector that we feel will both be able to make the switch successfully, as well as bring a fresh perspective.
Here are just a few reasons why we’re trusted to deliver in this sector:
- In a sector where high calibre talent is forever in high demand, we understand the importance of seeking out passive talent and providing them with a host of compelling and evidence-based reasons to move positions.
- We have successfully recruited high level individuals and complete teams across the globe including Europe, Russia, Asia, South Africa and the Americas.
- Whether supporting a small start up or pharmaceutical powerhouse, our global network of talent means you’ll only ever be put in touch with proven professionals who can truly add value and accelerate growth.
- Our client portfolio covers global pharmaceutical companies, multinational clinical and contract research organisations, medical device pioneers and manufacturers, as well as a host of health, nutrition and cosmetic brands.

In their own words
“I have worked with Roheela and Martin Veasey Talent Solutions for 15 years now. Their responsiveness and customer service has been excellent, but more importantly their understanding and interpretation of my requirements has been paramount while they search the markets and find the right fit staff for my business needs. Over the past ten years my staff requirements have changed significantly from a UK-based need to a global one spanning 11 countries. All roles have to speak English, but all roles also need to be local nationals which is not easy to achieve, especially when you are recruiting in Latin America, South Africa, Russia, Japan, China, Singapore and Korea. Another significant impact of working with Roheela and Martin Veasey Talent Solutions is their ability to find good calibre people quickly and only present the best ones, which in turn allows me and my local teams to make good use of our time.”

Business Development Executive
£Competitive Bonus/Commission Benefits
Worcestershire (Hybrid)
As an experienced sales professional, what's it like to sell a service that you know isn't very good?
It's difficult to sell when, deep down, you don't believe what you're saying.
So, how would you feel about selling a professional recruitment service that excels in every way? A sales role where you can confidently create solutions around customers' requirements and know you have the backup of a talented team to carry them out perfectly?
Martin Veasey Talent Solutions are well-established and highly respected in the international recruitment industry. With clients on every continent, we specialise in delivering a tailored recruitment service with multiple selling points.
It's not just about finding people. Our team is well-trained in using multiple tools to assess personality and cultural fit. Plus, our 35 years of expertise in our sector means our clients trust our judgement when we submit candidates for review.

So that's where you come in.
You'll need to be an experienced sales professional who excels in solution selling. All our clients have different requirements, so it's about crafting a solution to fit their particular needs. We don't use a catalogue!
As such, experience in the recruitment industry is ideal. However, we will consider people with relevant expertise selling other tailored services. Your core skills will include intelligence and communication, as you'll be interacting with clients from senior to c-suite level.
Ideally degree qualified, you'll be a confident, resourceful, and proactive sales professional who loves the chase and will show tenacity when targeting new business.
Our offices are based in Worcester, so you'll need to be able to attend our site, but we're happy for you to work remotely or hybrid, and we'll consider full or part time hours depending on your situation.
This is a wide-ranged and varied role, so please get in touch by sending your CV or call us at 44 (0)1905 381 320 so we can discuss this in more detail.
STRATEGIST - PROCUREMENT CATEGORY MANAGEMENT & PLANNING
£/€Very Competitive Bonus Blue Chip Benefits
Location: Flexible/Hybrid Role - UK, Netherlands, or Germany
"It's a slightly unusual role".
And that's a great way of summarising this position for our client. They're a well-established organisation in the specialist renewables and power generation industry that wants to become "best-in-class" in terms of its procurement process.
As part of this strategic development plan, they would like to appoint a Category Manager Specialist to sit within their large pan European procurement team. The main focus of this role is to work alongside each Category Manager to help them develop longer-term procurement strategies for each category.
As such, you'll be mentoring, coaching, and developing the category management team to help them think differently and innovate new ideas. This may take the form of working one-to-one with the managers or running workshops to create an open culture of collaboration between the team.
So, they're looking for a category management expert who's used to working in a blue-chip, world-class procurement function and can bring new ideas into the company. Experience of working in the power generation industry is not essential, and they're open to considering candidates from any highly regulated industry in the public or commercial sector such as utilities, defence, aerospace, chemicals, automotive, FMCG as long as it's within a multinational matrix structure with a substantial procurement and category management function. Candidates who combine in house and leading procurement consultancy backgrounds would also be very interesting
Your personality will be a deciding factor in this role, as you'll need the drive and desire to develop a high-performing team. You'll be a natural people-person who can connect with colleagues to help them become the best versions of themselves. In addition, you'll have the vision and the presentation skills to convey it to the team and get them excited about the levels they can achieve. Career development prospects are excellent.
This role can be based at any of our client's business units in the UK (North West or Buckinghamshire), Germany (Lower Saxony), and the Netherlands (Overijssel).
Candidates should be university degree/Masters degree educated ideally with a professional procurement/purchasing qualification such as CIPS or equivalent.
It really is a unique role, but it's going to be a rewarding one for the right candidate. As you can imagine, there's plenty more detail to discuss about this role, so please indicate your interest by emailing your CV, quoting reference LX 1175876
