✨ This time last year, ahead of International Women’s Day, we shared a self-assessment quiz asking an important question: Are we truly creating workplaces where women in biotech, pharma, and life sciences can thrive? A year on, this conversation feels just as relevant today. Progress takes more than a moment of recognition, it takes sustained action. If you missed it (or want to reflect again), resharing our quick self-assessment to help teams evaluate how inclusive their workplaces are for women, and where there’s still room to grow 🌱 #InternationalWomensDay2026 #IWD2026 #GenderEquality #WomenInPharma #WomenInBiotech #WomenInSTEM #GiveToGain

As Rare Disease Day 2026 approaches, our team wanted to share a few words on why the work happening across our industry matters so much to us. Behind every clinical trial or regulatory milestone is a child, a parent, a friend - someone waiting for answers and hoping for progress. Rare diseases may be individually rare, but together they affect around 300 million people worldwide. Progress depends on the dedication of advocates, researchers, clinicians, regulatory specialists, and countless professionals working tirelessly to move innovation forward. While we are not the ones developing these therapies, we are incredibly proud to have supported - and to continue supporting - the teams who do. Every hire into a rare disease-focused role represents more than a placement to us; it represents momentum toward better outcomes for patients and families. To the patients, advocates, researchers, and professionals committed to this space - your resilience, collaboration, and determination continue to inspire us and drive the work we do 🌟 💪 #RareDiseaseDay2026 #RareDiseases

It’s about knowing where to look, what to prioritise, and how to connect your experience to a company’s direction - all so you can have better conversations. 🌟 #JobSearch #Careers #BiotechCareers #PharmaJobs #Recruitment

As EU member states move toward implementing the Pay Transparency Directive, salary setting, job design, and approval processes are starting to shift. This is particularly relevant in life sciences, where scarce skills and complex roles are the norm. For candidates, this is beginning to translate into clearer salary expectations earlier and more structured pay conversations 💡 This carousel shares observations on what’s changing in practice for hiring teams and candidates across Europe and what that may mean in a UK context. This isn’t legal commentary or advice, just observations from the hiring side.
