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 37 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 provider of talent.

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 drive productivity.
Given our expert market and functional network, we are best place to locate, target and acquire the best candidates within
the market place.

its solution.”

The Clinical Development phases are where most pharmaceutical company’s pipelines are bulging and it is no coincidence
that Clinical Development is a key area for EPM Scientific.
Whether you are seeking Clinical Development Physicians, expert Clinical Program Directors, or more operational Project
Managers or Directors you can be confident in the ability and network that EPM Scientific has in this area.
EPM Scientific recognizes 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 will drive businesses forward. It is thought
that by 2020 we will be utilizing 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.

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 pharma companies have the most skilled and experienced regulatory
affairs professionals. This is especially important in an environment where tighter regulation is 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.

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 utilize 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.
