A CASE STUDY Abbott UK utilises a team of field-based Scientific Advisors to provide expert information to the local Medical community. Paramount successfully demonstrated their capabilities to support recruitment of this skill set and were added to the Abbott preferred supplier list. Once on the PSL we received all the vacancies at the same time as two other scientific recruitment specialists. In just over a year, Paramount have placed 9 out 10 Scientific Advisors, sourced from recruitment agencies, to support a range of Abbott products throughout the UK.
Right from the start, Paramount Recruitment sourced high quality candidates that were well briefed and matched both the technical and the personality requirements for the roles. They have easily outperformed the other agencies and have become our number one choice in Medical and Clinical recruitment. We have just reviewed our PSL and Paramount were one of the first names on the list.
I have been delighted with the service I have received from Paramount. You interpreted our needs very quickly and understood the type of candidate we need. You have been very quick to find candidates, the majority of which are a perfect match for what we need. As a result, we have filled four positions with excellent candidates within the short timescales we had

I decided the time was right for a new challenge so I started searching on Google for jobs as a Medical Writer. The Paramount website was one of the first I found. It was easy to navigate to view live jobs, key contacts, their sector experience and I could set up an alert to email me when new vacancies were added. After a week I received one which seemed perfect to me and applied – to receive a call within 20 minutes from their consultant

A EUROPEAN CASE STUDY Accuray specialises in leading edge radiation oncology focusing on developing, manufacturing and selling personalised, innovative treatment solutions – their range includes TomoTherapy Systems. This area of the company has an on-going requirement for skilled Field Service Engineers to maintain and service this specialist equipment throughout Europe. Recruiters with the ability to provide quick response times are crucial to many of Accuray’s recruitment campaigns. Due to expansion, TomoTherapy needed to increase the number of service engineers. Paramount worked in partnership with their European recruitment team to source candidates in the UK, Germany, Spain and Italy within 3 months. TomoTherapy liked the fact that, although based in the UK, our focus is very much across Europe so we were able to assist their recruitment across all countries. In addition they felt the service provided was very efficient and one contact point ensured a partnership style relationship was developed, making the process much easier on both sides. Lastly, compared to other agencies, TomoTherapy considered Paramount’s service to be very quick.
Initially I didn’t think Paramount would be able to source candidates in all the countries we needed but they have shown European-wide reach – finding candidates for us in UK, Germany, Spain and Italy. It has been a real advantage to deal with one agency and one consultant for our needs throughout Europe. Paramount now understands the type of candidate we need and are an excellent pan-European partner for us.
