"Well done Debra and HRS"

Being exceptionally busy and with an urgent need to recruit, by coincidence or divine intervention and I'm not sure which, I was approached by Debra Fong of HRS to see if there was need for any recruitment by my company and if so could HRS be of service. Without wanting to waste time after a short phone call with Debra I acquiesced but knowing the skills in the advanced technologies from the ideal senior candidate were as rare as hen's teeth I sat back and started thinking of the wording I was going to have to use in the 'Situations vacant' section of the relevant specialist trade journals. Imagine my surprise when a couple of days later I had two CVs in my hands, one from a good candidate for the job, the other being quite exceptional. The latter not only experienced in everything I thought important but also it was quite clear the candidate would benefit greatly from joining us. A remarkable win-win situation. 

Sensor Technology Development Company

"Nothing is too much trouble and, even if it is, you never would know!"

I have worked with HRS for just over a year. Appreciate that the recruitment business is a very competitive market but have been extremely impressed leading up to and during my experience of doing business with the team. In particular, I acknowledge the commitment to personal service.

Leading Pharmaceutical Development Company

HR Manager

"Our first experience using HRS has been extremely successful"

Ben Hamlin has been exceptionally helpful, conscientious and passionate about finding the right employee to fill our vacancy. He is dedicated and reliable and always follows up on any commitments made. Ben has taken all the leg work out of sifting through hundreds of CVs and all the candidates who were interviewed had relevant experience and were suitable for the role. I would be happy to recommend HRS to anyone looking to recruit new staff, they really have been great!

"I look forward to reaping the rewards of the high standards that Ricky has proposed to me and developing a long-term relationship with all at HRS."

I have just recently used Hyper Recruitment Solutions, with Ricky Martin as our main account manager. So far the recruitment process has been up to my standards, he has picked up the understanding of our business very quickly, which makes recruiting so much easier on my part. Although this has been a very short-term business partnership so far.

"As we grew and scaled, we knew we needed a Mass Spectrometry Scientist, but could not afford to provide a permanent contract until our Series A fund raise was achieved. HRS not only found us the perfect candidate, but also provided this candidate as a contractor, using a very easy to use contracting platform."

The HRS team supported us through lean and abundant times and always gave us fantastic candidates who fit the company brilliantly. These were not easy positions to fill, so a big thanks to HRS for the support!

He went beyond typical recruitment by offering tailored advice and insights, ensuring I was well-prepared for this pivotal role. Post-placement, Ricky continued to engage, showing his dedication to my ongoing success, especially with executive-level appointments. It has been a real pleasure working with Ricky over the years and getting to know him on a personal level and I highly recommend HRS for anyone seeking a recruitment partner who truly adds value.

Frequently Asked Questions

Explore our Frequently Asked Questions to find answers to common inquiries.

Medical devices can be categorised into three classes: Class I, Class II and Class III. Each product is classed according to the risk that the medical device presents to the patient and also the level of regulation required to legally get the device to market.

Class I medical devices are the least regulated, with up to 95% of products in this category not subject to any regulatory controls. Class I includes medical devices such as bandages and stethoscopes – products that are simpler in design than Class II or III devices, and pose minimum danger to the user.

Class II medical devices make up the largest category. The majority of medical devices (including home pregnancy kits, nebulisers and X-ray machines) fall under Class II. Medical devices in this category are subject to tighter regulations than Class I devices.

Class III medical devices are high-risk products that could potentially harm the end user if not used properly. However, when administered correctly, some Class III products can be vital to the maintenance of life in individuals with life-threatening conditions. Devices in this category include replacement heart valves, implanted pacemakers, and breast implants.

‘Medical devices’ is an umbrella term that can refer to virtually any item that is used as part of healthcare. Bandages, pacemakers, surgical gloves, thermometers, X-ray machines, prosthetic legs, syringes and MRI scanners are all examples of medical devices.

The medical device and diagnostics industry offers careers in research and development, product design, engineering, manufacturing, quality assurance, regulatory affairs and commercial functions. Roles can involve everything from developing diagnostic tests to bringing new medical technologies to market. At HRS, we help professionals explore opportunities that match their technical experience and career goals.

Medical device recruitment often requires candidates with a combination of technical expertise, product knowledge and experience in regulated environments. Specialist recruitment agencies can help employers identify professionals with relevant backgrounds in engineering, quality, regulatory affairs and product development. We work with organisations to understand their requirements and support the search for suitable candidates.
