Medical Sales Jobs are abundant at the moment.  That is to say, they are abundant for people with the right background and experience.  There are fantastic opportunities available to Medical Sales Representatives who are willing to make a move from the company they are currently in.

This is where the economy seems to be making life awkward for Medical companies.  Any Medical Sales Rep that has what they regard to be a half secure job is hanging on to it for dear life.  The panic that has gripped the nation has left normally very rational men and women afraid to look at the opportunities that exist at the moment for Medical Sales Representatives with two to three years experience.

Yes there have been some redundancies.  Some of these redundancies are being replaced though, which means that the problem was never the market but the economic crisis has provided an opportunity for some firms to do some “housekeeping”.

Laboratory Sales Representatives are nowhere to be found.  Recruitment agencies have adverts up all over the internet.  Our sources tell us that they have had to look outside their preferred requirements of experienced Sales Representatives with Lab backgrounds.  What does that mean?  It means that if you are a Laboratory Scientist and have a personality that would lend itself to sales then doors are opening.  Of course that would mean leaving a relatively secure position in a Laboratory for the great unknown of working in an unfamiliar environment.  The rewards can be significant though when compared to HSE Lab Scientist rates.  If you work in a Laboratory then you will have met the people doing the job when they come to sell you their analyzers and reagents.  Think you might be interested in becoming a Medical Sales Rep? Talk to them.  Ask them about the job.  Join the MRII.  Do a Medical Sales Course.  Contact a Medical Recruitment Agency.

Laboratory Sales is by no means the only Medical Sales area requiring staff.  Pharmaceutical Sales Representatives are also in demand.  GP sales Reps in particular.

Medical device companies are also recruiting staff.

There May be a recession but looking at this list of Medical Sales Jobs will show just what is available on the job front right now.

Hi guys,

I recently had an editorial published in the Sunday Independent reflecting today’s medical job market since the ‘recession’ took it’s toll -

The medical recruitment industry is not reporting the same dismal problems seen in some sections of the recruitment industry

 Although recruitment in general has been badly affected by the world economic crisis, one branch within it — medical recruitment — has remained relatively unscathed.

While the general recruitment sector has felt the squeeze from the downturn in the economy, not all areas within it are feeling the strain. On the contrary, for the medical recruitment sector business continues apace, according to Jackie Brown, managing director of Jackie Brown Medical.

Indeed, the medical sector has long lamented Ireland’s lack of medical practitioners, dentists and nurses, so it probably comes as no surprise to those in the know that recruitment in this area remains strong.

Jackie Brown Medical covers all areas of the medical sector, procuring both medical and non-medical staff for medical or healthcare-based companies, hospitals and clinics nationwide.

Brown argues that the medical recruitment industry is not reporting the same dismal problems seen in some sections of the recruitment industry. This fact notwithstanding, she has seen a shift in the sector.

“I’ve been recruiting within this industry for the past eight years, and over the past few weeks I’ve had candidates come back to me who have been made redundant. That’s the only evidence of the downturn I’ve experienced, but there are jobs still available,” she says.

Brown adds that another sign of the changing times is that medical companies are now outsourcing their training needs. As an aside, the outsourcing sector is one industry that is likely to benefit from the shifting economic times as companies try to save on costs and become more competitive.

“The medical market is shifting: in some areas the downturn is actually creating employment, which is quite bizarre. You are unlikely to find professionals within the medical sector scrambling for jobs or on dole queues,” she says.

Brown does accede however, that there has been a drop in salaries for pharmacists, but adds that this has more to do with cutbacks by the Health Service Executive (HSE) rather than the current economic climate.

“Pharmacists’ salaries have dropped by over 10pc. Where previously their salaries would have reached €75,000- €85,000, now they range somewhere between €65,000 and €75,000.”

Likewise, recently qualified radiographers whose contracts have just expired are also finding themselves back on the recruitment market. On the other hand, there are some vacancies available, as radiographers have always been in short supply in Ireland.

With an increase in the number of private healthcare providers now operating within the medical sector, Brown believes that many medical professionals are moving from the public to the private sector, “because with private comes a lot of security,” she says.

Brian Crowley, director of healthcare recruitment company TTM Recruitment, agrees. “HSE restrictions on recruitment mean that, for example, clinicians and nurses on temporary contracts in public hospitals have started to look towards the private healthcare sector. This leads to a certain amount of brain drain from the public to the private system,” he says.

Further good news for medical professionals seeking employment, and Jackie Brown Medical in particular, is that despite the continued economic turbulence, business has been hectic for the medical recruitment firm. In the past four weeks alone, the company has signed up five new clients, all of whom sought it out.

Of course, Jackie Brown Medical’s profile reached new heights recently as it was named Recruiter of the Year at the National Recruitment Federation Awards last month. Having the same name as Quentin Tarantino’s famous hit film Jackie Brown hasn’t done the company any harm either.

Brown launched Jackie Brown Medical in October 2007, having previously worked for five years in acute nursing and for eight years in the medical recruitment industry. To win the Recruiter of the Year award is an impressive achievement, especially for a company so young.

“I was absolutely honoured by the award. It was the single biggest achievement of my professional life,” says Brown.

It was perhaps Jackie Brown Medical’s innovation that won it the award. The firm not only prides itself on the high level of customer service it provides, but also on its extensive use of technology. It recently launched a forum for medical and healthcare workers in Ireland: Jackiebrownmedical.ie.

The forum allows workers within the sector to log on and share any issues they have, get advice from contemporaries or simply let off steam. While it is still in its infancy, it has gotten its fair share of hits, and is expected to grow as it becomes more established.

“The recruitment industry is heavily reliant on web-based services. Recruitment is also a hugely competitive sector and our web presence is a vital ingredient to our success,” says Brown.

“Our website was developed in-house and we have made a point of embracing the social-networking phenomenon that has swept the web by including social bookmarking facilities and the forum for medical and healthcare workers.”

I have to ask what recession?

We have had a recent surge within our Medical Recruitment in particular in the last 3 weeks!

There is always the rush up to Christmas and new jobs for the new year, but more than that, people are on the move as there are vacancies and choices still!

This is very good news indeed for the Medical recruitment Industry and we have Medical and Pharmaceutical Companies knocking down our door seeking experienced Medical Professionals.

The salaries are remaining the same, so no change there either.

All in all, things are good for Medical jobs in Ireland and in the Medical Recruitment sector.

Areas particularly busy are Radiography, Medical Sales, Pharmaceutical Sales, Nursing and Medical Admin

Here’s to 2009!
