Our candidates
The majority of the candidates we represent work with us exclusively and
we are trusted advisors to many of them throughout their career. We invest
heavily in our research function, which spans the APAC, EMEA and USA
regions, identifying the most talented professionals from the beginning of their
careers and developing relationships based on career and life aspirations.
Keeping in touch with candidates, even if they are not actively looking for
a new position, often leads to us representing them on an exclusive basis.
Through this long term approach candidates recognise the value of working
with a specialist recruiter who can represent them accurately in the market.
Our global reach
Our offices and specialised teams are linked through our global CRM
system, allowing us to have one database of global candidates rather
than regional versions. Our teams are able to search for candidates
based anywhere, whilst also considering those who are globally
mobile. As a result, we’re able to fill key permanent and contractor
positions, in over 70 countries, with market-leading success.
Our clients
We provide some of the world’s leading organisations with one of their key
resources, their people. Our success is based on the strong, long-term
partnerships we build with our clients and our ability to represent them and
their cultures in our day-to-day activities. As a mark of our success, over 80%
of the clients who began working with us three years ago, remain with us
today, often using us exclusively when hiring for their most important roles.
Our clients come to us not just when seeking new talent, but also when they
need a specialist partner to act as a brand ambassador for their business.
We regularly offer them additional services such as complementary
market intelligence, competitor analysis and perception surveys.
Hydrogen Group has been publicly listed on the AIM since 2006 and
has grown, organically, every year since. We currently employ over
400 people across APAC, EMEA and the USA and have a clear strategy
to support further growth and success. Our ability to give access to
the best local, interstate and global talent is what sets us apart.

Medtronic
Parexel
Hydrogen has been assisting Parexel with their recruitment since May 2010. We began
placing clinical operations contractors across Europe, and soon began to support the
PAREXEL CPS division globally. In order to mirror the demand of their impressive year
on year growth Hydrogen reacted by upsizing our team accordingly across the globe.
Having placed 68 contractors*, 23 permanent employees and 7 regulatory affairs
consults since June 2010, Hydrogen have also begun to support PAREXEL CPS
Biometrics division. We are now exclusive suppliers of contract clinical staff to the
PAREXEL CPS business and a preferred European partner for the global business.
Our relationship is built on trust and the ability to deliver top-tier talent, and we are
closely aligned to ensure a smooth and efficient recruitment process.
*Of the contract roles, 98% have been on an exclusive basis with a CV to vacancy response time of 24 hours.
Case studies
“PAREXEL have been
working with Hydrogen
since 2010 and have
found them to be so
efficient, courteous and
flexible to our needs that
they are now a partner of
choice for our permanent
and contract vacancies.
The experienced
consultants are reliable
and always come up
with the matching
experience level for
the role requirement.
Candidates submitted
are well briefed
and ready to start
work with us.”

WW Director CPS
PAREXEL International
Hydrogen has a proven track record of partnering with specialist medical device
companies of varying size. In 2012 we embarked on a pilot recruitment partnership
with Medtronic to supply contract clinical operations staff at mid and senior
level across EMEA and Asia. Within the first six weeks we filled 100% of the roles
and delivered results in countries as far afield as Kazakhstan. Taking the time to
understand Medtronic’s motivations, we have developed a detailed understanding
of their business and continue to deliver an average CV : Interview ratio of 2:1, and
Interview : Placement ratio of 1:1.

“We had a number of
specialized roles that
were proving difficult to
fill so had to look outside
our list of preferred
recruitment partners.
Hydrogen approached us
in a very professional and
collaborative manner and
we decided to instruct
them on one of the most
challenging openings.
We were pleasantly
surprised how efficient
they were completing the
assignment. They were
responsive and flexible
and really understood
the job requirements
as well as our corporate
culture to deliver relevant
candidates quickly.
We are very happy with
the talent recruited
through Hydrogen and
will continue working
with them as a preferred
recruitment partner
in 2014 and beyond.”

Actelion
Actelion
Hydrogen began working with Actelion in February 2013 after it became clear that
we were in a position to assist outside of their existing PSL with a particularly niche
requirement. Actelion were looking for an MD with a clinical development background
who would be interested in moving into a senior level drug safety function. After an
extensive search we presented three profiles to the HR Director; all were invited to
interview and led to a successful hire.
We now support Actelion globally across a number of our specialist areas including
drug safety, biometrics and QA/QC, clinical operations and regulatory affairs. Over the
course of this year we have developed a very collaborative relationship and are now
working as a preferred supplier.
PPD
Hydrogen began working with PPD in May 2010 when they had some large client wins
and saw a peak in activity. We initially partnered with their internal recruitment team
for the provision of permanent resource across Europe and then directly with the Head
of Clinical Management in the UK for the provision of contract resource. We worked
exclusively with PPD in order to understand their requirements and helped them
identify seven contractors in the UK over a three month period at the end of 2010.
Following this successful collaboration, Hydrogen were sponsored into different PPD
offices across Europe and have placed a mixture of both permanent and freelance
resource in over 10 countries; establishing an exclusive relationship for the provision
of contractors in some key hubs including the UK, France and Belgium.

Hydrogen is a global specialist recruitment business, placing exceptional,
hard to find candidates in over 70 countries. Our joined up practices combine
international reach with local expertise and specialist knowledge.
Whilst many recruiters are location focused, Hydrogen believes the best way
to deliver service to its clients and candidates is to base our offering around
these practices, which cover both Technical & Scientific (Power, Mining, Oil
& Gas and Life Sciences), and Professional Support Services (Business
Transformation, Finance, Legal, Trading & Advisory and Technology). By being
practice led and using the latest technology we provide our clients with global
visibility of the best candidates.
We invest in building strong relationships with candidates over the long-term,
not just when they are actively looking to move.
