JCR Pharma
JCR Pharma recruits for one of the narrowest, most technical corners of hiring — biostatistics, clinical data management, statistical programming, data science, and bioinformatics — where a precise match matters more than a big pile of CVs. We built the platform that runs that whole process: job board, admin dashboard, and automated email, on React + Vite, in six weeks.
The problem
Specialist recruiting, run by hand.
JCR Pharma's whole edge is depth, not volume — shortlisting five to seven candidates who genuinely fit a biotech or pharma team's technical needs, rather than flooding employers with CVs. But running that consultative process — job postings, candidate intake, screening, employer communication — without dedicated software meant more manual coordination for every search, and a slower, harder-to-track hiring pipeline for clients across the UK, US, and Europe.
What we built
A job board, both portals, and the admin behind them.
We built JCR Pharma a full two-sided job platform on React and Vite — fast to load, easy to extend — covering employers, candidates, and the JCR Pharma team itself, deployed on free-tier hosting to keep ongoing operating costs close to zero for a lean recruitment business.
Post & Manage Roles
Employers post openings across biostatistics, clinical data, and bioinformatics, and track applicants in one place.
Job Search & Apply
Candidates browse and apply to specialised life-sciences roles directly through the platform.
Admin Dashboard
A dedicated dashboard for the JCR Pharma team to manage listings, candidates, and communications end to end.
Automated Email
New applications, status changes, and job alerts go out automatically — nothing chased down manually.
Secure Admin Login
A dedicated, access-controlled login keeps day-to-day platform management separate from public job seekers.
Low-Cost Hosting
Runs on free-tier infrastructure, so the platform's overhead doesn't eat into a lean team's margins.
Behind the scenes
The admin they run it from.
Every public page above is edited from one internal dashboard: jobs are posted, featured and archived; applications arrive with CVs attached and move through a status pipeline; blog posts are grouped and published. No developer needed for day-to-day changes.
Impact
Faster hiring, less overhead.

Monthly hosting cost
By centralising job posting, candidate intake, and communication into one platform with automated email, JCR Pharma cut its overall time-to-hire by roughly 50% and made day-to-day recruitment operations dramatically simpler to manage.
On launch day, JCR Pharma's founder posted on LinkedIn that the team was "really proud" to share the new site — built to make it simple to browse and apply for live roles, read the company's blog, understand their recruitment process end to end, and find every social channel in one place.
