A LITTLE ABOUT US…
Pharmalancers connects highly skilled independent freelance consultants who specialise in R&D to life sciences companies who need flexible talent to support their critical business pathways.
Having worked in life sciences R&D for many years, we understand the challenges of finding the right talent on demand. We know the life science sector has a well-established and talented independent work force, but finding the best fit consultant is often time consuming and expensive. We also know that many consultants want greater access to interesting projects.
Pharmalancers simplifies and hence transforms this process by introducing the best fit independent consultants to life science companies on a global basis.
