The recruitment and hiring process

Where should I begin to apply for a position at Quintiles?

Start by reviewing our open positions and applying for those that interest you. Our online system makes it easy to create a profile and apply for as many jobs as you like. Your resume/CV will be reviewed by a member of our recruiting team. If we identify a possible fit, you will be contacted for a first interview.

What happens in a first interview?

First interviews allow us to take a closer look at your knowledge, skills and experiences compared to the job description or job posting. The first interview is usually conducted by phone in less than an hour. This is also your opportunity to ask your first questions about the position and Quintiles.

What can I expect after the first interview?

After a successful first interview, we will invite you for personal on-site interviews. These interviews allow you to get a feel for our culture and work environment – and let us see if you are a good fit for the organization. Typically, you will meet with multiple interviewers, including operations managers and managers in your field of expertise. This gives you a broad view of the job.

You’ll receive an email with your interview schedule and details on the time and location of your meetings. Be prepared to talk about your skills (technical abilities) and competencies (behaviors or “soft skills”) and how they relate to the job. You may also be asked questions around Quintiles Values: Customer Service, Teamwork, Integrity, Quality and Leadership. Have a list of questions ready for your interviews. Reviewing our Web site beforehand can help you prepare by giving you a big-picture overview. Please keep in mind that both cultural fit and work experience are very important to us.

Our recruiting team will extend both a verbal and written offer to our final, successful candidate.
