Paige covers 2 key factors in the Pharmacy recruitment process: What factors are important to the candidate and what are common challenges in Pharmacy recruitment?
What are the main factors that are important to candidates in the Pharmacy recruitment process?
- Salary – It’s really important to offer a realistic hourly rate to attract top talent to your organisation, in conjunction with regular pay reviews to ensure both parties are happy and that you can retain your key hire
- Career progression and development – Constant opportunities and access to management courses and access to IP qualifications
- Supportive Environment – Having the owner and key people (technicians and dispensers) around to support the Pharmacist is key to a Pharmacist’s happiness in the role
What are the main challenges in Pharmacy Recruitment?
- Cost – This is a really key factor. Recruiting under your own steam by advertising on Indeed, Linked In etc, and the cost of your time sifting through applications can be expensive. Using an agency can relieve you of this burden, matching you with pre-qualified candidates who have been pre-screened to your individual requirements, such as hours they will work and their minimum salary expectations.
- Access to candidates in areas of shortage – We have an extensive database of candidates who we have worked with for a number of years who maybe willing to look at your business as a potential next step in their career
