Kudos to returning sponsor Kubo!

Local business Kubo Recruitment has returned to sponsor MK Lightning as well as MK Storm for another season – we got to know them a little better, asked them what prompted them to sponsor the two teams and found out how Kubo can help supporters and businesses.


So we are in the Elite League this year - thank you for your continued support by sponsoring the away shirt for Jordan Hedley!
Yes, it’s great to keep up with the sponsorship, especially with a local team that is doing so well. We are pleased to be continuing to sponsor the away shirt for Jordan Hedley and we hope it brings him good luck. It looks like it’s going to be an exciting year in the Elite League for the team and the fans too.

As a local business we also hope that our support and through marketing this will get our name out there and open up some opportunities with local companies to support their recruitment.

More importantly, you are one of our only sponsors who also supports our Youth teams.
We understand that supporting the youth teams isn’t necessarily the best way to promote our company as this kind of is sponsorship often goes under the marketing radar, but we feel so strongly about supporting the youngsters in our community, without the youth teams where would the next up and coming players come from?
The youth teams need to feel part of a team and we strongly believe that providing a customised kit promotes that sense of belonging and creates true pride and team spirit. I believe this is the first training kit the youth team have had. It would be great to see some of those youngsters coming through the ranks and ending up in the Elite League one day.

Your turn, Kubo Recruitment……….tell us about you!
We are a local recruitment company based just outside of Buckingham and we have been around since 2012. We have been extremely successful over the past few years recruiting specifically for the Life Sciences Sectors around Europe and the US. Having been approached by some local companies to support their recruitment we decided to expand our services. All of our team have a great network locally and to this end we have been able to support local business for positions within the Businesses & Administration fields, although we are not limited to a given area.

What can you offer local businesses?
We understand that each business is different and therefore we offer tailored solutions not only in the type of services we offer but also with payment schedules. We have a strong database of candidates looking for new challenges that is growing all the time. All we need from an employer is an accurate role profile or job description in order for us to market a job role effectively. If the client is willing, and most do see the benefits, we like to meet face to face and get a real feel for a company and their current team. The technicalities of a role are obviously important, the personality fit is equally important.

What can you offer those businesses that haven’t used a recruitment company before?
We are proud to be able to set ourselves apart from other recruitment companies. Our team are highly experienced and we passionately believe in providing both candidates and employers with a service we can be proud of. Through our rigorous screening process only candidates that match the job description technically and logistically are submitted to the client.
In fact, one of our missions is that our ratio of candidate submittal to interview is close to 100%. In short, when we submit a candidate, the client will interview, saving your company time and money whilst giving you access to candidates that you may not normally reach.

We would welcome any opportunities to demonstrate our capabilities!

Kubo Recruitment are excited to be attending the UK ePharma Day 2017 which takes place on Tuesday, June 6th 2017 at the Park Plaza Victoria, 239 Vauxhall Bridge Road in London

This year is the 5th UK e-Pharma day which examines the implications of the new Clinical Trial Regulation EU 536/2014.  This new regulation marks substantial and important changes in the processes, procedures and documentation necessary for management of clinical trials and relationships between Sponsors, Ethics Committees, Regulatory Agencies and Researchers.  The aim being to streamline bureaucratic aspects through a simple authorisation process by centralising procedures with the consistent involvement of all Member States.

The purpose of this conference is to increase understanding of both fundamental and practical considerations impacting on drug development strategies, management of clinical trials as well as corporate governance related to implementation or the new regulation.

Once again, Omar Ali from the University of Portsmouth and Former Adviser to NICE will be on the scientific board for the event, leading a panel of experts to share best practices, knowledge and experience in this field.  Omar will be joined on the board by, Paul FardyVP Data Services at CROS NT and Lorna GriffinRegulatory Consultant at RApport Strategic Services Ltd.

After the welcome from the scientific board, Lorna Griffin will be the first to speak, providing us with an overview of the major differences between the Clinical Trial Directive and the Clinical Trial Regulation, Lorna will be followed by Leona Fitzgerald who is the Senior Director Regulatory Affairs at PPD.  Leona will be talking about the implementation of the new regulation, its implications for submissions and start-up and the evolution of the sponsor and CRO relationship.

There will also be a number of other speeches including one from Fatma Hindi, Country Project Manager at OPIS France, and Tim Worden who is a Partner at Taylor Wessing LLP

Please drop by our stand to speak to us about career opportunities and/or career advice or your recruitment needs if you are currently looking to hire staff.

We look forward to meeting you!

Sourcing and retaining talent for your business

We recently attended a local business event and discovered that a lot of smaller businesses were advertising for positions on the traditional job websites and receiving hundreds of applicants.  Whilst this is a great platform to source your next employee, sifting through the CV’s can be a very time consuming process and can distract from your day to day activities that keep your business growing.
