Medical Writer, Pharmaceutical Writer, Healthcare Writer needed

I’ve now got 2 searches going for medical writers! Seems these folks are the rarest of rare. I’ve found a few in the past and been able to place them but I’ve now got to repeat the magic. If anyone reading this has a friend, colleague or contact who has performed the act of copywriting for companies or agencies in this line of work shoot a quick note to Lance in Toronto.

Recruiter, Headhunter, Executive Search, Talent Acqusition Specialist

It wouldn’t be the first time we heard “What’s in a name?”

In Recruiting circles their are all sorts of distinctions between a “recruiter” a “headhunter” an “Executive Search Consultant” and a number of other related terms in the industry. I find clients and hiring managers don’t always know the differences and part of my role with a new client is to ascertain what their expectations are. Once this is nailed down I can tell if they are indeed looking for a recruiting shop or an executive search or even just a resume service.

Just as in any industry, a better client is the one who knows more about the product and service offering so spending a bit of time with the client to clarify this is valuable for both parties.

Getting a handle on how many resumes they expect to see, what time frame they are working within, whether they are onboard for an exclusive search, and many other variables need to be discussed also. Some recruiting firms don’t ask these questions — They get a job order for a certain person with a group of skills and go hunting before they’ve asked the right questions.

Copywriter needed - Pharmaceutical Writer

One of my clients is looking for one of the most elusive types of writers available. The rarely sighted Pharmaceutical copywriter who wants to work fulltime for the same client. Usually this breed of writer wants freelance and freedom to come and go as they choose but my client wants to hire one fulltime. It will be a tough search but no one comes to me when the task is easy.

I’ve had the distinct pleasure of placing a few in my past so I’ll keep digging until I find the right person for the job and the client.

Fall Season kicking into gear

It’s finally here….. When I got up for a ride on Sunday morning the air was crisp. All my clients and candidates will be finally setting up for the Fall season. The kids are back in school, Labour Day is behind us and the work world is kicking into gear. The marketing and advertising companies will be ratcheting up for the next quarter and the headcount will rise. –Gotta get on the phone and find a few more good people for a few good clients…..
