Hydrogen has a proven track record of partnering with specialist medical device

companies of varying size. In 2012 we embarked on a pilot recruitment partnership

with Medtronic to supply contract clinical operations staff at mid and senior level

across EMEA and Asia. Within the first six weeks we filled 100% of the roles and

delivered results in countries as far afield as Kazakhstan.

Taking the time to understand Medtronic’s motivations, we have developed a

detailed understanding of their business and continue to deliver an average CV to

Interview ratio of 2:1, and Interview to Placement ratio of 1:1.

Hydrogen has been assisting Parexel with their recruitment since May 2010. We

began placing clinical operations contractors across Europe, and soon began to

support the Parexel CPS division globally. In order to mirror the demand of their

impressive year on year growth Hydrogen reacted by upsizing our team accordingly

across the globe.

Having placed 68 contractors*, 23 permanent employees and 7 regulatory affairs

consults since June 2010, Hydrogen have also begun to support Parexel CPS

Biometrics division. We are now exclusive suppliers of contract clinical staff to the

PAREXEL CPS business and a preferred European partner for the global business.

Our relationship is built on trust and the ability to deliver top-tier talent, and we are

closely aligned to ensure a smooth and efficient recruitment process.

Clinical Research Associate

We’d known UK-based medical devices CRA Kate for five years, had placed her in

roles twice previously and had also hired for her when her contract with a global

healthcare products company ended unexpectedly. She searched the market

herself and took on a permanent role at the UK’s leading developer of medicines

and diagnostics. A great senior-level candidate, with over 10 years’ experience, we

quickly found her a contract at a leading global healthcare company, mainly home

based with site visits once or twice a week.

We’re confident that, when Kate’s contract is up in a couple of months time, we’ll be

her first port of call for her new role.

Candidate Case Study

Our candidate Fernando, a senior risk management physician, was working for a major

pharmaceutical organisation in his native Denmark. We contacted him whilst routinely

mapping the European risk management sector to check on his current status and he told us

he was happy in his current position. We contacted him again some weeks later, convinced

we had a role that was perfect for him. The position, for a global pharmaceutical company

based in Germany, was similar to his current role but better paid. Also, it specialised in

diabetes, an area that we knew he had a specific interest in.

On hearing the job specification, Fernando reconsidered, agreed to interview and

subsequently received an offer. Over the next two months, we supported him and his partner

through the relocation process. Now happily located near Frankfurt, Fernando tells us he’s

very happy in his new role, which has provided him with new challenges and the change in

lifestyle he was looking for.
