About Us

Evolve - the leading name in recruitment and employment outsourcing in pharmaceuticals, medtech and pharmacy - was founded in 2007 by brothers Chris and Andy Anderson. Their vision was simple: to create a recruitment and employment outsourcing business that prioritised both candidates and clients, built on a foundation of unwavering integrity, high standards, and a commitment to exceeding expectations. Today, Evolve stands as a testament to that vision, delivering exceptional talent solutions to the verticals we serve through committing ourselves to uncompromising levels of research, discipline and delivery.

From Entrepreneurial Roots to Industry Leaders

Chris and Andy's journey to establishing Evolve was paved with experience in the very industries they serve. Chris, with a background in biochemistry and medical sales at Novartis Pharmaceuticals, gained firsthand insights into the recruitment landscape. Andy, after completing his law degree, forged a successful career in pharmaceutical and medical device sales. This combined expertise provided the perfect foundation for Evolve, allowing them to understand the unique needs and challenges of both candidates and clients.
