Recruitment for Scientists, by Scientists
Scientific Recruitment Agency Placing the UK's Hardest-to-Find Lab and Commercial Talent
Our Partners:
Connecting Talent with Opportunity
VRS Recruitment places analytical chemists, life science researchers, field service engineers, scientific software developers, and commercial scientists into pharma, biotech, CRO, and instrumentation employers across the UK. We work by technique, not job title, which is how we find candidates other agencies miss.
Key Takeaways
- Six specialist sectors: analytical chemistry, life sciences, scientific sales and commercial, field service engineering, scientific software, and quality and regulatory affairs
- Permanent, contract, and retained search across the UK, with a recruiter-led model that screens on technique depth, not keyword match
- Clients include Eurofins, Shimadzu, UCB, Intertek, Thermo Fisher, PerkinElmer, Waters, Resolian, Veolia, and Sotax
- Two decades of placements across pharma, biotech, CRO, instrument vendors, and contract testing
- Direct access to a candidate network built on technique-level conversations, not CV databases
