Working with Zenopa has been absolutely fantastic! Highly recommend it to anyone looking for a new role but wanting to speed up the process and ensure a higher rate of success! I wasn’t particularly keen to leave my previous position unless the opportunity seemed like the right fit. I had already been frustrated with many recruiters who just wanted to “sell” you the role/company for their own benefit or perhaps seemed to be following a standard script. This is where the Zenopa team set the bar much higher. Zenopa really took the time to understand my motivations for being open to work and where my core strengths lie. They asked all the right questions and made sure they understood my desirables and non-negotiables. After a few weeks, Zenopa managed to find TWO different roles that were both perfectly aligned with my background, desires and expectations to progress further in my career. The company I am moving to is exactly what I described in my initial call with the team, and I’m delighted to have signed my contract this week! From the initial messages and calls regarding potential opportunities to the initial interview stages, Zenopa were incredibly supportive. They always checked in regularly and made sure I was ready for the next stage, offering support at each step. Even after the final stage interviews, through to negotiating the salary/benefits and finally signing the contract, Zenopa were consistently working to ensure it was a smooth and easy process. In the end, I chose one of the roles they put forward, but it was nice to have options, and I appreciated the team’s transparency and willingness to support me throughout. I would recommend Zenopa to anyone who is casually or actively looking for a job; anyone that is currently happy or completely dissatisfied with their current situation; anyone that is comfortable with interviews or needs some extra support and guidance with prepping. No matter what stage you’re at, the Zenopa team will truly make you feel supported and confident in finding the next best opportunity for your professional career. Please pass on my thanks to the rest of the Zenopa team as well! Bailey and Kirstie… anyone else I spoke with in the past few months. ✨ They were a star in helping me with other potential roles and prepping for the final interviews and the questions, making sure any queries I had were addressed in a timely manner. Every time I called/emailed Zenopa, someone from the team ensured I was heard, listened to and followed up with regarding my queries. Absolutely zero complaints; just wanted to recognise the team’s efforts and the value they bring to their clients. Keep up the awesome work, everyone!

Area Sales Manager

The Science team at Zenopa is incredibly well organised, attentive and is very good at understanding the needs of their applicants. Their communication and ability to find solutions and negotiate is probably the best I've experienced from any life science recruitment consultants. They placed me into my current role at Panasonic, and I would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking for roles within life science, pharma and biotechs.

Clare Clifford

Business Development Manager

Zenopa was very helpful to me during my job search. I had been out of a scientific career path for a little while and wasn’t making the most of my technical skills. However, it was hard searching for jobs whilst working full time, so I was glad to have them on hand to help me. I explained what I was looking for, and Zenopa contacted me when something suitable came up. They explained the role and answered any questions I had. Once I decided to apply, they helped me prepare for the interviews and helped me secure my new role. It’s been nearly 8 months in my new job, and I am really enjoying it. I would definitely recommend Zenopa to anyone looking for a new role.

I had a wonderful experience with Zenopa, especially after being initially contacted via LinkedIn. After sending my reply to them and showing my interest, they immediately arranged a call and explained the job. Subsequently, Zenopa provided excellent support during the interview process, guiding me through the tasks required for the role I eventually received an offer for! Throughout the entire journey, the team at Zenopa were incredibly supportive. I was particularly impressed with the dedicated prep call I had before my interviews. They provided me with valuable advice, which helped me secure the role. The level of care and attention shown by the Zenopa team made the whole experience enjoyable and successful.

I thank Zenopa and its team publicly for helping me get my new job. They are very friendly and professional and have done the best job I've seen so far compared to other agencies. In addition to finding me the perfect position, they supported me at every interview stage, training and guiding me until the company hired me. They're easy to get in touch with, keep you up to date with every step, and provide reassurance. I highly recommend them.

Dominic Ward

Amazing service from Zenopa, but especially from the Science team. They were frequently in contact about the clients that they had sent my CV to, letting me know when they had chats with the hiring manager as well as feeding back how they were feeling about specific aspects of the CV and professional experience, which really helped with the interview. A stark contrast to other experiences I have had in the past where a recruiter would send a CV and I wouldn't ever hear back... They did a practice interview with me and helped me tailor answers to put the information across in the best way, and their practice questions ended up being discussed in interviews, which helped massively and is a service that I haven't had from recruiters in the past. She is a breath of fresh air as she is completely transparant and will tell you if you are giving answers that won't come across well in interviews. None of these things mention just how lovely she is as a person, all of my interactions with Lottie have been an absolute pleasure. She is always friendly and smiling and even when giving critisicm, it is done in a constructive manner and it is clear that she cares about your professional development. Anyone reading this looking for a career in the lifesciences and healthcare sector: look no further than Lottie Moore. I can guarentee a good, frustration-free experience :)
