London and Singapore-based recruiter Empiric has launched a sister company, Lifestar, focusing on recruitment for the pharmaceutical industry.
Founded in 2005, the firm’s traditional focus is on City disciplines, listing its specialisms as banking, technology, finance technology, finance & risk and sales & marketing – and a year ago launched oil & gas brand Wildcat.
Director Steve Brown, who will be overseeing Lifestar, tells Recruiter that in launching both spin-off brands, the firm “bought in key players who understood that market… and actually then applied that [Empiric] methodology to them”.
Lifestar is being led by new recruit Chris Peel who has 10 years of experience recruiting into the pharmaceutical market, previously working with CPRS Group and Barrington James. While he leads the London operation, the brand is due to launch in Singapore shortly.
Brown adds that the company is looking at launching two further sister brands in due course, while an overarching group formation is also due to be launched shortly.
