Senior Recruitment Consultant: London/Hybrid
Planet Pharma is a global staffing business within the Life Sciences world, with teams and offices based across the UK, Europe, APAC and the US we continue to partner with first class candidates and clients across the globe.
We have big plans and are currently looking to onboard talented Recruiters into our high performing Team covering EMEA & Rest of World.
Role Summary
Within this role you will be responsible for the delivery of candidates to a number of high profile clients, working on permanent and contract roles with some of the best clients across the region.
We see Recruitment and Business Development as two distinct skill sets and if you divide the two you can be more effective. Looking at our yearly growth figures, we are probably right! Our delivery-focused recruitment team works hand-in-hand with our sales team to deliver a seamless and effective process. While our sales team builds strong client relationships, understands hiring requirements, and brings in new reqs, our delivery team focuses on identifying, engaging, and securing the best talent in the market.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Iβm in my final year doing Economics and I donβt know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer β it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) donβt need a masters. Letβs look at the ones youβd be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet β that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
