We have an office based in Newcastle upon Tyne and offer flexible hybrid working.

- Ever post ‘Here’s what ___ taught us about recruitment’
- Cause unnecessary harm to elephants
About You…
Lead Candidate is a values-led, politely disruptive, talent acquisition partnering service. We hold our values dear, and we expect you to as well. We are honest, which also means sometimes telling hard truths. We are experts in our field, and we are devoted to our customers, working with only a select few at any one time.
This is an opportunity for you to build a new skill set and provide a valuable service to life saving organisations. It’s OK if you’ve never worked within a company like ours before – we are more than happy to give you the full training that will allow you to grow within the role. This is a truly entry-level opportunity.
You will probably have had some exposure to customers or be interested in a people-facing position. Our customers are people – whether looking to hire or looking to be hired, we don’t differentiate. We’re not demanding that you be a talent acquisition whizz, just that you will relish the opportunity to learn and grow with us as we disrupt the recruitment industry for the better.
We operate exclusively in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology outsourcing space – but that doesn’t mean that you need to. We work with businesses who are improving the lives of patients around the world. If you’re passionate about playing a role in that – we’d love to hear from you.
Feel free to reach out to Tom to find out more.
