About me:

After spending over 12 years working my way up the ladder within the Hospitality industry, I made the decision that the lifestyle was no longer for me.

Outside of work my passions include illustration both digital and traditional, photography and spending quality time with my family.

Step 1: Research, Research, Research

Research is the foundation for success when applying for roles in the Medical Sales industry.

In an industry where innovation meets healthcare, and where every product has the potential to impact lives, understanding the details of the medical sales landscape is important.

⭐ Here’s why…

• Industry Insight: Keep updated on medical sales trends, challenges, and opportunities for strategic positioning.
• Product Knowledge: Master your product's features, benefits, and competitive advantages to build trust with clients.
• Customer Understanding: Tailor solutions to meet the unique needs of healthcare providers, institutions, and patients.
• Competitive Edge: Gain insights into competitors' strategies to effectively differentiate your offerings.
• Career Growth: Foster continuous learning through research to excel in your current role and prepare for future advancement.

⭐ What should I research?

• What is Medical Sales? (Medical Devices, Pharmaceuticals & Healthcare)
• What does a Medical Sales Representative do?
• How is the NHS structured, and how does it work? (Primary Care, Secondary Care, Integrated Care Boards)
• Learn about the organisations which shape and impact the industry (NICE, ABPI, ABHI)

Once you have conducted thorough research, you should have a good idea about whether medical sales is the right career path for you.

As a job seeker, one of the most important factors that will be considered when applying for a vacancy is the employer brand of the company you are interested in. Employer branding refers to the reputation of a company as an employer and the values and culture it promotes. It plays a crucial role in attracting top talent, and it's becoming increasingly important for companies to establish a strong employer brand to remain competitive in the job market.

There are several key aspects of employer branding that are important to consider when evaluating a potential employer:

Company values and culture:

A strong employer brand is built on a clear set of values and a positive company culture. As a potential employee, you want to work for a company that aligns with your personal values and has a culture that will enable you to thrive. Job seekers will look for companies that have a clear mission statement and promote a positive work-life balance, employee development, and diversity and inclusion.

Reputation and recognition:

A company's reputation in the market is an important factor to consider when evaluating its employer brand. Look for companies that have a strong track record of success and are recognised as leaders in their industry.

Career development opportunities:

A company's commitment to employee development is an important indicator of its employer brand. Seek out companies that offer training, mentorship, and growth opportunities to help you advance in your career.

Benefits and perks:

A competitive salary and benefits package can be a major draw for candidates, but don't overlook other perks that can contribute to a positive work experience. Look for companies that offer flexible scheduling, remote work options, wellness programs, and other benefits that support work-life balance.

Employee engagement and retention:

Finally, consider the company's employee engagement and retention rates. A high turnover rate can be a red flag that the company is not living up to its employer brand promises. Look for companies that have a strong track record of employee retention and engagement, and that invest in their employees' well-being and professional development.

In summary, as a job seeker, you want to work for a company that has a strong employer brand and aligns with your personal values and career goals. By considering the factors listed above and doing your research, you can find an employer that will provide you with a fulfilling and rewarding work experience.

If you have a strong employer brand, it can help attract top talent, increase employee engagement / retention, and improve your company's reputation.

Having a strong employer brand can give you a competitive advantage by making your company stand out from the rest. This, in turn, can help you attract the best candidates and improve employee retention rates. Plus, if you're able to attract the right people and create a positive workplace culture, you can save yourself time and money in the long run by reducing employee turnover and its associated costs.

So, how can you improve your talent attraction and employer branding efforts? Here are some tips:

• Define your company culture and values: Knowing what sets your company apart and what you stand for is crucial to building a strong employer brand.

As a recruitment agency, particularly since Covid, one of our most growth areas has been placing graduates in within the industry. As the market evolves, we’ve seen a huge upturn in demand for these candidates along with a desire for companies to invest in those individuals in the long term, creating stable and rewarding career pathways. We believe our success can be attributed to several key factors that set us apart. In this article, we’ll explore these factors and explain why Evolve has been at the forefront of this sector.

Specialised knowledge and expertise

Graduate recruitment is always challenging. Assessing skills and future potential often means the need for organisations to partner with a specialist recruiter to provide robust recruitment strategies and a great candidate pool. Our team have highly experienced recruitment consultants who purely specialise in placing graduates in their respective industries. With an in-depth knowledge of the job market, industry trends, and the skills and qualifications that employers are looking for in graduates, this expertise allows us to provide our clients with tailored solutions and guidance throughout the recruitment process.

Proactive candidate sourcing

We don't rely solely on job boards and applications to find the right candidates. Instead, we take a proactive approach to candidate sourcing by using our extensive network and industry connections to identify and engage with the most promising candidates. This enables us to present our clients with a high-quality pool of candidates who may not be actively looking for a job but are open to new opportunities.

Candidate screening and assessment

We understand that placing a graduate in a role requires more than just matching them to a job description. It involves assessing their skills, personality, and cultural fit to ensure that they are the right fit for the role and the company. We use a range of screening and assessment tools to evaluate candidates thoroughly and ensure that they meet our clients' requirements.

Strong employer relationships

We have built strong relationships with employers across various industries, which enables us to gain insight into their recruitment needs and preferences. This knowledge allows us to provide candidates with a clear understanding of what employers are looking for and helps us match candidates to the right roles and companies. Our strong relationships with employers also enable us to negotiate favorable terms and conditions for our candidates, such as competitive salaries, benefits, and training opportunities.

Post-placement support

Our commitment to our candidates does not end once they are placed in a role. We provide ongoing support and guidance to ensure that our candidates are happy and fulfilled in their roles. We regularly check in with our candidates and employers to ensure that the placement is working out well and address any issues or concerns that may arise. This post-placement support has resulted in high levels of candidate satisfaction and loyalty, which, in turn, has led to referrals and repeat business.

In conclusion, our success in placing graduates can be attributed to our specialised knowledge and expertise, proactive candidate sourcing, candidate screening and assessment, strong employer relationships, and post-placement support. These factors have enabled us to provide high-quality recruitment solutions that meet the needs of both our clients and candidates. We are committed to continuing to provide excellent service and solutions to our clients and candidates and look forward to helping more graduates achieve their career goals.
