Professionals Scale

Skala Professionals develops and makes available pharmaceutical competence, and the people behind it are farmaceuter themselves. The company describes itself as pharmacists who see opportunities to develop both people and organisations within pharmacy, and who use the security of their own knowledge and a large portion of commitment to turn those opportunities into business and customer value. Every opportunity it sees is approached through three concrete principles: utveckling, tillgänglighet and flexibilitet, meaning development, availability and flexibility. Its own consultants are recruited on the same basis, with the promise of varied work alongside competent colleagues at a company that wants to make a difference and develop the pharmaceutical profession.

The specialisation is narrow and explicit: Skala Professionals are specialists in the recruitment and staffing of farmaceuter within apotek, vård and life science, that is pharmacies, healthcare and the life science industry. Two service lines carry that. Rekrytering and interim covers permanent hiring and interim cover, and the company stresses that it comes from the industry itself and has worked in a range of roles at different companies. Bemanning covers staffing when a client simply needs more people, an area in which the company says it has long experience. A third route, bli Skalakonsult, invites pharmacists to join as consultants.

Skala Professionals works across the whole of Sweden and states that it has carried out over one thousand completed and ongoing assignments around the country since it started. The company is an Auktoriserat Bemanningsföretag, an authorised staffing company, which it presents as a quality stamp showing that it meets the industry's highest requirements on seriousness, business ethics, finances and regulatory compliance. For clients that means a transparent, well run partner that follows both the law and good business practice. For employees it means an employer that follows collective agreements, offers fair terms and cares that consultants thrive and develop in their assignments. The company describes the authorisation as not just a title but a promise of quality.
