Trusted by global and local pharmaceutical and life science companies

We have used Pharmonia's services repeatedly. When our representative became ill for a long time, we were able to use another trader for a transitional period thanks to agency employment. Other times we found a sales representative in our internal team, which we are very happy with. We appreciate the cooperation that the task is fulfilled and the effort to always find a solution. In a word, “Satisfaction. I can definitely recommend.”

Considering the field in which we work, I considered finding a suitable candidate on the Czech labour market almost 'mission impossible'. A very nice surprise was how quickly Pharmonia was able to find a suitable candidate and how quickly this candidate was able to fully engage in corporate processes during the challenging period of incorporating the company into an international corporation. This allowed me, with a clear conscience and confidence, to hand over the reins and devote myself to my 'angel dream'.

We have been using Pharmonia's services in the Czech Republic and Slovakia for many years — both in recruiting new employees and in agency employment. We appreciate their flexibility in setting up cooperation and in case of any changes, as well as the ability to always find the right solution. Partner colleagues are quick to respond, are pleasant, professional and cooperation with them is a real benefit for our company — simply cool. I like to recommend.

We worked with Pharmonia in recruiting for marketing as well as securing agency employment. Although we also searched our own way, in the end we were most approached by a candidate recommended by an agency whose experience exactly matched our requirements. In practice, it turned out to be an excellent option. Overall, we are very satisfied with the cooperation — everything runs smoothly and the agreement always matters. We recommend.

We would definitely advise other companies as well — it is important for us to have an idea of a local partnership in Slovakia, with people who know the market, understand the needs of the client and can supply quality candidates. A great priority for us was to help us in the precise specification of our requirements for candidates.

Chief Executive Officer
Benela s.r.o.
We used Pharmonia's services for agency employment as a sales representative in Slovakia, where we do not have our own branch. In the beginning, we set everything up transparently and simply. Then the agency staff already solves everything necessary and the project runs smoothly. Pleasant and helpful support, fast communication. The main advantage is that I don't have to deal with administration and I can concentrate on business with the merchant. I recommend.

We have been cooperating with Pharmonia for many years and are very satisfied. We use our recruitment and agency services. They understand us, I recognize our culture, and I find us wonderful candidates. I think it's hard to pick one of the most excellent candidates. And when we leave for maternity and family, we are almost so satisfied that we want to find clones. Let me give you my advice.
