Bio
Tim John
I met Julian during my first professional job. He was a team leader and I had the privilege to work in his team for a number of months. In that time I learned a great deal not just about recruitment & pharmaceuticals but also how to work in a professional environment. I remained in touch with Julian after my departure and almost a decade later am proud to call him my friend as well as a professional acquaintance. He is gentleman.

I worked with Julian Turner to recruit a Regulatory Manager, potentially a difficult position to fill due to its location. Julian really explored the role brief, taking time to understand not only the role requirements but the team and the culture of the organisation. Taking that time up front paid real dividends, as the shortlisted candidates proposed by Julian were all of high quality and it was a difficult decision to choose who to interview. CVs were always backed up by a detailed candidate brief, giving reassurance that he had truly explored the candidates’ suitability for the role, rather than is so often the case, just sending out whoever is on the recruiter’s database. Julian was always highly responsive, easy to deal with and for him, it was about delivering the right service, not just meeting a revenue target as is so often the case with recruitment agencies. I would highly recommend Julian.

I had a fantastic time working for Julian at PCG, he created a brilliant work environment where I was excited to come to work each day. Julian's knowledge on the Pharma industry and the Regulatory Affairs market is second to none. He was an excellent manager and taught me a huge amount about the Life Sciences and Recruitment industry. I would highly recommend Julian as he has been one of the most charismatic and dependable professionals I have worked with.

Senior Director Regulatory Recruitment

Apr 2016 - Present
Focused purely on filling roles within Regulatory Affairs, Turner Regulatory is a recruitment agency with a proven track record for placing the best candidates within an agreed timeframe. We are specialists at placing both permanent and contract staff within Pharmaceuticals, Biotechnology, CROs, Generics, or OTC across the UK, Continental Europe and beyond. Our services include Contingent Recruitment, Search & Selection, and other consultancies services such as Salary Surveys and Training & Assessment. Examples of our recent successes: ★ A fast-growing Biotech Company were struggling to find a Vice President, Global Regulatory Affairs and had spent over 1 year looking for the right candidate. Within 8 weeks of requesting my help, I provided the company 12 candidates from which the ideal candidate was selected, who, two years on, is still successfully in the role. ★ A leading Biopharma Company were looking for an Associate Director, Regulatory Strategy Team Lead – Emerging Markets but had so far failed to secure the right candidate. In fact, after 6 months of trying they’d only been able to secure an interview with one less than ideal candidate. Within 30 days of working with myself, a very suitable candidate was identified and started working for the company within 3 months. I provided the Biopharma Company with 11 excellent candidates to choose from. ★ A Pharmaceutical Company contacted me to find their new Head of Regulatory Affairs; within 60 days of approaching me, after an intercontinental recruitment campaign, 5 candidates were identified and delivered. A suitable candidate was chosen and placed. The Company expressed their gratitude for having exceeded their expectations. I often work closely with HR department, department heads and In-house recruiters and welcome the opportunity to recruit for you. I invite you to connect with me or call me on 01582 290636. Show less

Head of Regulatory Recruitment

Mar 2014 - Feb 2016
Senior specialist recruitment for leading niche recruitment agency in the life sciences sector. Continued developing my network within the industry placing key individuals in carefully considered positions. For me, one of the most important parts of my role, was the regular contact I had with candidates. By taking the time to understand them and their career objectives I created lifelong relationships with candidates where they trust me, and only me, to contact them with their next role. This allows me access to candidates who aren’t active on the job market and therefore inaccessible to many recruiters. Show less

Senior Manager, Regulatory Affairs

Apr 2005 - Jul 2012
Entering Regulatory Affairs I quickly established a reputation for myself placing the excellent candidates. I am fortunate enough to have a near photographic memory so I quickly become familiar with industry terminology and therefore understood what each role required. This allowed me to build excellent relations with candidates as well as clients. During this time I became the third most senior person in the business and was nominated for a Pharma Times Recruiter of the Year (2011). Focused on my busy role however, I didn’t pursue the nomination. The company grew significantly from six consultants to one hundred while I was there. Show less
