EPM Scientific is a global specialist recruitment company working exclusively in the Life Sciences industry. As industry experts

we understand that the ongoing changes within the Pharmaceutical industry make the ability to attract and maintain industry-

leading talent a key priority.

EPM Scientific has consultants based all over the world, from our own offices in London, Zurich, Singapore, Hong Kong, New

York, and San Francisco. Unlike many other companies, we have grown organically – meaning that the entire business shares

our core values of Excellence, Passion, and Morality, values that we feel should be at the very heart of recruitment

As part of the Phaidon International group, we are privately owned and our consultants and management all have the chance

to own equity in the business. Unlike some other recruitment companies, the work we do directly impacts us – at every level

it is personal. Perhaps this is the reason that we have won 38 independent industry awards. EPM Scientific has the personal

feeling and specialist knowledge of a boutique agency, the quality and accuracy of an executive search agency, and the speed

and resources you would expect from a global talent provider.

Recent years have seen a collapse in the industry’s R&D productivity and a loss of faith in the innovation model. It’s no

coincidence that the highest performing labs use the best talent management practices; including hiring the very best talent

with natural scientific curiosity, not just the cheapest available or easiest to find.

At EPM Scientific, we understand that in a time of flat lining productivity it is important for us to understand our clients’

culture so that our candidates have the right skills and experience but, critically, can support teamwork and collaboration –

which in turn drives productivity.

Given our market expertise and functional network, we are best placed to locate, target and acquire the best candidates

within the market place.

“In the attempt to make scientific discoveries, every problem is an opportunity — and the more difficult the problem, the greater will be the importance of

its solution.”

The Clinical Development phases are where most pharmaceutical company’s pipelines are expanding, it is no coincidence

that Clinical Development is a key market sector for EPM Scientific.

Whether you are seeking Clinical Development Physicians, expert Clinical Program Directors, or more operational Project

Managers/ Directors you can be confident in the ability and network that EPM Scientific has within these area.

EPM Scientific recognises that in an age of technical innovation it is important to find candidates that are willing and able

to push new boundaries, those candidates that have the soft skills and attributes that drive businesses forward. It is thought

that by 2020 we will be utilising newer technologies more and more resulting in big data driven “in life trials” with remote

monitoring schemes.

EPM Scientific welcome any special requests or requirements from our clients to find even the most niche type of profile

within our core business areas.

It is easy to get a thousand prescriptions but hard to get one single remedy.

Medicines are amongst the most regulated products in the world and regulatory interactions take place throughout the

entire development process. As a result, the path from the discovery of a drug, to seeing it successfully marketed can be

extensive, problematic, and costly.

In a time where healthcare payers, governments and consumers are demanding cheaper drugs, and existing products

are being hit by generic competition, it is essential that pharmaceutical companies have the most skilled and experienced

regulatory affairs professionals. This is especially important in an environment where tighter regulations are being experienced,

and continually expected.

EPM Scientific has the ability to identify the very best regulatory affairs talent, and attract naturally risk averse candidates to

new and exciting opportunities.

“Those who have the privilege to know have the duty to act.”

The pharmaceutical Medical Affairs function is in a state of transformation. In

a world where big data and big value are increasingly important and there

is a greater focus on risk management, hiring the right talent to maintain a

competitive advantage is essential. EPM Scientific understands that the bar

for Medical Affairs talent is set high – the best Medical Affairs professionals

need to collaborate with R&D, understanding the science that supports their

work as well as understanding the rules and regulations governing the industry

almost as much as their colleagues in compliance.

The best Medical Affairs professionals will also have the strategic thinking

of their marketing colleagues and the external interaction skills of the best

sales people. If we then look for the true talent spikes such as inspirational

leadership skills, then this talent is particularly difficult to find without a true

specialist such as EPM Scientific.

“It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom,

it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of

incredulity.” Charles Dickens

The pharmaceutical industry finds itself at a crossroads. In a world of scientific

and technological advancement that has seen the cost of reading a genome fall

from $95 million in 2001, to as little as $1000 today. We are also being faced

with some potentially disastrous collapses in revenue across the patent cliff, flat

lining R&D productivity, generic/ genomic competition and soaring healthcare

and development costs. With this in mind, it is essential for the industry that

companies invest and hire the top strategists who are able to help their

business innovate, grow, and find new ways to stay ahead of the curve.

Finding people who can build a balanced portfolio, create an innovative culture

and develop the platform for a renewed productivity and prosperity is essential.

As a specialist, EPM Scientific is able to utilise our expert market knowledge

and search capability to locate and attract talent both from within the life

sciences industry as well as from top tier management consultancies and think

tanks.

“Wherever the art of Medicine is loved, there is also a love of

Humanity.”

Q UA L I T Y M A N AG E M E N T

Quality practices with healthcare are under scrutiny as the industry strives for best practice. Between 5% and 10% of

medicines produced do not meet specification and have to be reworked or discarded – this compares with around 0.0001%

in the Semiconductor industry.

Due to the impact and power of Regulators, Quality has become confused with Compliance, and the industry needs to

refocus. The regulators recognise this, and so do industry leaders. As your business strives for total Quality Management EPM

Scientific strives to bring you the best talent in the global market place, in the leanest possible manner. EPM Scientific utilises

its global platform and niche area of expertise to uncover recommended talent. For us, quality is a habit – not an act.

“Quality means doing it rightwhen nobody is looking.”

~ Henry Ford

With the growth of big data across numerous industries, Life Science Companies have seen an increase in the competition

in finding Biostatisticians, Statistical Programmers, and Data Managers. This increase in competition in finding candidates not

only from outside of the industry, but within the industry itself, has caused a market shift where there are now more openings

than qualified candidates.

EPM Scientific understands the need for qualified biostatisticians/ bioinformaticians and how they help drive scientific

breakthroughs across therapeutic areas and departments. With our in-depth understanding of the flow of the market

and ability to target passive candidates, we are able to source more qualified profiles in a shorter time frame than our

competitors. Our clients have seen and recognised this, and it has helped them to acquire top tier talent, ranging from fresh

PhD’s to Heads of Biostatistics/ Bioinformatics.

“Statistics is the grammar of science.”
