Also they should be aware that they are the only big pharma company based in the north - with that in mind it's obvious that finding a contractor with a lot of pharma experience in the North West is going to be tricky
Will that be their main Alderly Edge site or Tytherington? The food at Tytherington is rubbish!

Buy an Elephant and change your name to Bob.
Btw, have you thought it may be the agent taking the piss?

Does anybody know how
to get good rates at Astra Zeneca?
I've just had an email from an agent wanting to pay me 225 a day.
Below is my response
Thanks for your mail. I'd be happy to work for AZ again, but not at the rate quoted. My rate for commutable work starts at XXX a day. Currently I'm on XXX a day at XXX, but this obviously takes into account the high costs associated with being in Geneva on a weekly basis. Unfortunately until AZ start looking at paying realistic rates then I doubt I will be working for them in the near future which is a pity as I have a lot of pharma experience and like working in the industry. Perhaps somebody should tell their HR department that rates aimed at the bottom end of the pay scale will not get them the caliber of contractors they want.Tags: None
