 Headquartered in Basel, Switzerland, Roche Pharma is one of the world’s leading research-focused healthcare groups in the fields of pharmaceuticals and diagnostics.
As a supplier of innovative products and services for the early detection, prevention, diagnosis and treatment of disease, the group contributes on a
broad range of fronts to improving people’s health and quality of
life.
Roche uses supplementary staff to help it keep pace with business growth. The Basel headquarters employs over 100 temporary IT contractors at any one time in its Pharma
Informatics function, and in 2004 it appointed Harvey Nash as one of its preferred suppliers.
Jürgen Rauber, resource manager for external contractors in Roche Pharma Informatics, explains: “We selected Harvey Nash on the basis of their competitive prices, the length of their relationship with us and the quality of their processes and services. I receive an average of one enquiry a week for a temporary contractor from one or other of our internal business managers in Informatics. I never know in advance what sort of person they will need, but Harvey Nash always responds to my brief with high-quality CVs and strong candidates to interview.”

Susanne Elsener-Thurig, a recruitment consultant at Harvey Nash, says the seven-year relationship the firm has enjoyed with Roche Pharma in Switzerland has been exciting and rewarding.
“The company has a strong global reputation, and is regarded a star of the Swiss economy,” she says. “It is very strong
on research and development, and has a healthy pipeline of new drugs coming through, so it is a very stable company. As you would expect, it is an interesting environment and treats people extremely well. We search worldwide to ensure we find the right mix and level of skills, but we have no problem persuading
people to join Roche Pharma.”
