About AliveDx
Iconic Resourcing is delighted to be partnering with AliveDx as they continue to invest in the people, partnerships and capabilities that underpin their future growth.
With more than 30 years of diagnostic expertise, AliveDx develops innovative in-vitro diagnostic solutions that help healthcare professionals shorten the time to disease detection and diagnosis, improving outcomes for patients worldwide. From its well-established Alba blood banking portfolio through to its pioneering MosaiQ diagnostic platform, the organisation continues to play an important role in advancing diagnostic science and patient care.
Employing more than 400 people globally, AliveDx combines scientific innovation with a collaborative and values-driven culture. The business has recently been recognised as a Great Place to Work and continues to invest in its people, technology and long-term growth strategy.
Why This Role Has Been Created
As AliveDx looks ahead to the next phase of growth, the business is making a deliberate investment in how it attracts, engages and develops future talent.
Historically, recruitment activity has focused on meeting immediate hiring demands. Whilst that remains an important element of the role, the business now wants to take a more strategic approach to talent acquisition by building sustainable talent pipelines, strengthening relationships with universities and educational partners, enhancing its employer brand and creating future pathways for graduates, interns and early-career talent.
This newly created position will play a key role in delivering that vision.
Working closely with HR leadership and stakeholders across the business, you'll help shape how AliveDx attracts specialist talent across areas including R&D, Regulatory Affairs, Manufacturing and Operations, whilst ensuring current hiring needs continue to be met.
For someone who enjoys building, influencing and creating new recruitment initiatives rather than simply managing vacancies, this is a genuine opportunity to make a lasting impact.
The Opportunity
This role combines hands-on recruitment delivery with longer-term talent attraction initiatives.
You'll work closely with leaders across the business to manage recruitment activity whilst developing sustainable talent pipelines for future hiring needs.
Alongside recruitment, you'll help create and strengthen relationships with universities, schools, industry groups and external networks to improve awareness of AliveDx and support future talent initiatives.
In time, you'll also work closely with HR and future Learning & Development colleagues on areas such as:
Graduate programmes
Internship opportunities
Early careers initiatives
Apprenticeship pathways
Future workforce planning
