“It's about connecting the right professional with the right organisation, with the ultimate goal of advancing the industry and contributing to society's well-being”

"As someone who has always enjoyed helping people make informed decisions, my background in various industries, such as corporate serviced apartments, bathroom design, and newly constructed apartments, has allowed me to hone my skills in consulting and advising individuals and businesses alike.

Big league of recruitment

My role as a recruiter at QTC Recruitment aligns perfectly with my passion for guiding people towards making the right career choices. To me, recruitment is the highest level of decision-making as it involves helping individuals shape their future and organisations find the best fit for their teams.

At QTC Recruitment, we are in the big league of recruitment. Day in / day out I’m speaking with both candidates and organisations alike trying to better the lives of humans. Being able to put my expertise to work to get that professional involved with that specific molecule or helping an organisation reach the clinic by introducing them to a skilled leader is extremely rewarding.

Recognising our impact

For me, Creating value in Life Science means recognising the impact that our work can have on people's health and lives. It's about connecting the right professional with the right organisation, with the ultimate goal of advancing the industry and contributing to society's well-being. When I placed a professional, I feel like I have played a part in Creating value in Life Science.

As for the core values of QTC Recruitment, "we bring energy" resonates with me the most. Energy is my middle name, and I take great pride in bringing a healthy dose of energy to my work. This energy translates into a commitment to my client’s goals and needs, which allows me to build strong relationships with them. I also bring this energy to my interactions with the professionals I recruit, which helps me identify their drives and motivations and become their partner in their career development journey."
