The pharmaceutical and biotech industry faces constant pressure to develop and launch new products, this is often increased by the inability to attract and retain critical staff. There are several factors that make only medics interims an increasingly popular and cost-effective option for our clients. These factors are characterised as a ‘value proposition’ that only medics interims offer to our clients.
Typically there are 5 key factors that add value for our interim customers:
Speed: only medics interims can be on site within five working days
Effectiveness: our interim managers have the level of experience and expertise to ensure that the role is fufilled with minimum supervision
Accountability: our interims are accountable for thier work. They can deliver projects independently and will always be accountable for outcomes.
Flexibility: only medics interims are available to meet the needs of client organisations when they need a precise skill-set at the right time.
Competitive Pricing: only medics will provide interims at all levels at competitive market rates

We have a comprehensive database of locally registered interim medics – all with successful backgrounds in the pharmaceutical industry.

only medics interims developed out of experience serving the specialist recruitment needs of the pharmaceutical industry. We are now one of the leading providers of interim pharmaceutical physicians in Europe.
The role of an interim pharmaceutical physician is much more than traditional senior roles with companies who have headcount restrictions. We can offer fantastic opportunities for those who are on their way up the career ladder as well as those who are established industry experts. These opportunities can be fixed-term assignments or permanent roles but ones in which the medic’s employer is only medics.
Options are as follows:
Only Medics Freelance Experts: Long-standing senior positions still exist and can only be successfully filled by candidates who have the strategic insight, skill and knowledge base gained by pharmaceutical physicians who have worked at medical director or similar level
Only Medics Freelance Contractors: pharmaceutical physicians who have around 2 years’ industry experience and are prepared to work on a fixed term contract on a freelance basis
Only Medics In Sourced Contractors (UK Only): The physician has a permanent contract of employment with only medics, who then sub-contracts the individual to pharma companies with resource gaps.
Historically interim pharmaceutical physicians who have had significant experience at medical director level then have the option of stepping on to the interim career ladder to offer their services as freelance experts.
There are a number of benefits:
A choice of how many days a week the individual wanted to work, a more flexible work/ life balance
Medics with the right level of experience could cover any aspect of pharmaceutical medicine for a client company
Fill a resource gap while the recruitment process got underway to find a replacement for a permanent role.
Urgent need for a short-term position working alongside a more senior medical adviser on pre-launch activities for a new compound.
The benefit to the pharma companies is the ease and speed (typically within 5 days with only medics) with which sudden resource gaps could be addressed.
