ABOUT DANA PARRY SARKISSIAN MRCSA

Email: d••••••••@i-pharmconsulting.comPhone:+61••••10 is an award-winning international life sciences recruitment company with offices in UK, USA, Germany and Australia. In a highly competitive market-place, we connect top talent with the very best opportunities.How I got here.I started my journey in recruitment with a boutique agency in the heart of the Sydney CBD. Ad chase was done via newspaper, cold calling via the yellow pages, and resumes were sent to clients via bicycle courier. I wasn’t a very good recruiter back then. I persisted for just over 2 years before getting out.My time as a rookie recruiter taught me extremely valuable skills that I carried into every role and organisation throughout my career. I remained in sales; it continued to be a core function for the professions I worked in. There was the Photography sector, Property, Retail, Wholesale, and Fundraising. And why not go all the way? I also threw in my own business venture to keep things really interesting. Naturally, in each of these environments I was called on to support recruitment processes. I never strayed too far from my career beginnings. I never lost the passion for matching people to jobs. That’s what led me back to recruitment – first in internal recruitment, then in 2017 I went full circle and returned to the agency side. Always the recruiter, but no longer the rookie.
