• over 30 years of combined service to the pharmaceutical sector
• Scientific, marketing, healthcare, data management qualifications

The strengths of a company are typically derived from the people who work for it.   On Q Recruitment was established by Catherine O’Mahony, a key player in the scientific recruitment market for over 12 years. She has successfully established new scientific, technical & engineering divisions for publicly listed recruitment organisations; managed a major Scientific & Technical Recruitment Company based in Sydney and successfully launched their Melbourne operation; and herself had over 5 years practical work experience in Pharmaceutical, Environmental & Food industry before commencing her recruitment career. Catherine’s profile has attracted like-minded scientists who have left the practical scientific arena to expressly pursue careers in recruitment.

The high calibre of consulting staff has permitted On Q Recruitment to attract candidates and clients by word of mouth – first impressions are lasting in recruitment, and this has benefited the company, clients and candidates over the past 6 years.
