Life Sciences
Life sciences and laboratory recruitment.
Actionus recruits laboratory, clinical trials and quality staff for diagnostics providers, pathology networks, CROs and manufacturers. Roles run from routine analytical work through to regulated GxP environments where documentation matters as much as technique.
How we work
What you get when you brief us.
- Technical screening
- We screen on assay, platform and regulatory experience rather than job title alone, because a title rarely tells you what someone can run unsupervised.
- Contract and project cover
- Validation projects, accreditation cycles and trial start-ups are finite. We resource them as contracts with a defined end date.
- Permanent search
- For hard-to-fill scientific roles we run a mapped search rather than an advert-only campaign.

Questions
Life Sciences hiring, answered.
- How quickly can Actionus supply life sciences staff?
- It depends on the role and how complete the brief is. Urgent cover from an already-compliant worker can be booked the same day; roles needing fresh clearance move at the speed of DBS and reference turnaround. We tell you which of the two you are dealing with when we take the brief.
- What compliance checks are completed before a worker starts?
- Right to work, identity, professional registration where applicable, DBS or PVG at the correct level, references and any role-specific training evidence. The pack is shared with you before the assignment begins.
- How are hours recorded and invoiced?
- Workers submit hours through an online timesheet portal each week. Your approver receives an email link and approves or rejects the timesheet, which then feeds the weekly pay run and your invoice.
- Can you supply permanent as well as temporary life sciences staff?
- Yes. We work on locum, temporary, fixed-term contract and permanent terms, and temporary assignments can convert to permanent on agreed terms.
