Do I have to pay for using BioPharmaceutical.ie?

No. It is against Irish Law (unlike some other european countries) for a recruitment agency to charge candidates fees or take any monies from a candidates salary. This means all of our services to you are absolutely free.

How long will it take for me to get an interview?

This depends on a number of factors - firstly you must be shortlisted by both the agency and the company your are applying to. Some companies do interviews in batches - i.e. the batches could be ran every two months for some graduate positions, so this could delay your interview. But in general, it usually takes up to two weeks to get an interview organised.

When will I know the result of my interview or application?

Feedback on applications and interview is given once it is received by the agency from the company. At Life Science we make every effort possible to ensure as soon as we know, you know.

Is my CV and personal data safe?

Yes. Your personal data and CV is protected by the freedom of information act and is stored electronically on secure servers. Only authorised personnel have access to this information and they must adhere to a non-disclosure policy by contract.

Why choose to apply through Life Science and not apply directly to the company?

The age old question of apply directly vs. apply through an agency... There are a number of reasons why applying though an agency is more beneficial to the candidate as nearly all companies use agencies these days because they are more cost effective and efficient that direct recruitment campaigns. You have a better exposure and scope of companies to where your cv can be sent and the consultant is specialist in this area with strong relationships with the HR professionals in each particular company. Your application process is managed from start to finish and research shows agency placements have a higher retention rate i.e. you a more likely to stay with the company longer if placed though an agency.
