			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a rel="attachment wp-att-2112" href="http://ckscience.co.uk/news/uk-must-increase-investment-in-science-to-boost-economy/attachment/science/"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-2112" title="science" src="http://ckscience.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/science.jpg" alt="science" width="337" height="348" /></a>According to a report by The Royal Society, if the UK does not invest heavily in science and scientific research, it will face decades of sluggish economic decline.</p>
<p>The report warned that Britain’s current advantage is in danger of being wiped out by the US, China, India, France and Germany who have increased spending in science to help boost their economies. For instance, the German government has said it will increase their budget for education and research by 12bn Euros by 2013.</p>
<p>Sir Martin Taylor, chair of the report&#8217;s advisory group stated: &#8220;As France announces a new €35bn investment in the knowledge economy, the UK cuts university budgets by £600m, with the threat of more to come.</p>
<p>“The UK has been in the top two of the scientific premier league for the last 350 years. It would seem obvious that politicians would recognise the need to invest in this competitive advantage rather than cutting funds.&#8221;</p>
<p>Lord Waldegrave, former Science Minister and provost of Eton College said: &#8220;Times are tough but this is exactly when you need to invest in the future and focus spending where you already have an advantage.</p>
<p>“Investment in science cannot be turned on and off on a political whim &#8211; we must have a long-term investment. If we cut science now, just as the benefits of nearly twenty years of consistent policy are really beginning to bear fruit, we will seriously damage our economic prospects.&#8221;</p>
<p>The report praises the fact that patents granted to UK universities have increase by 136% between 2000 and 2008, and that university spin outs employed 14,000 people in 2007/2008 with a turnover of £1.1bn. However, it seems that research and development is a weakness for the UK – in 2007 British companies spent 1.14% of GDP on R&amp;D while in the US spent 1.9% and Germany 1.8%.</p>
<p>Experts in the field recommend the following to help remedy the situation:</p>
<ul>
<li>Creating a 15 year framework for science and innovation with increased spending.</li>
<li>Prioritising investment in scientific skills and infrastructure, such as laboratories and equipment.</li>
<li>Better aligning science and innovation with global challenges.</li>
<li>Revitalising science and mathematics education.</li>
<li>And expanding the R&amp;D tax credit.</li>
</ul>
<p>Lord Sainsbury, the former science minister and member of the advisory group said: &#8220;We cannot compete with countries such as China and India on the basis of low wages, and science and innovation must, therefore, be the basis of the strategy for growth which we need to have as we go into a tough period of fiscal consolidation.&#8221;</p>

This is the first time in the 4 years the company has entered the contest, that they have broken into the top 5.</p>
<p>According to the survey conducted by The Sunday Times, one in five employees at Napp has worked at the company for over a decade. Further impressive findings include:</p>
<ul>
<li>84% of staff believe the company makes a difference to the world.</li>

<p>Julie Worth, Area Sales Manager, has been part of the charter group. &#8220;It just amazed me — I was actually having a say in how the business was run,&#8221; she says. &#8220;You&#8217;re working with directors and you learn that people are genuinely approachable. They really listen.&#8221;</p>
<p>Mattessich’s positive impact on the company was reflected in the results of the survey conducted by The Sunday Times:</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-979" title="social-media-network" src="http://ckscience.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/social-media-network-300x200.jpg" alt="social-media-network" width="300" height="200" /></p>
<p>Taking place on Thursday 22<sup>nd</sup> April 2010, the <a href="http://www.socialmediainrecruitment.com/">Social Media Recruitment Conference</a> is the second largest of its kind in the UK. <a href="http://www.ckscience.co.uk/">CK Science</a>, a leading specialist scientific recruitment company, has been recognized by the conference organizers to be a pioneer in the use of social media in scientific recruitment, and has been invited to speak at the Conference. Here at CK Science, we recognize that there are not enough hours in the day for our specialist scientific Consultants to drive our social media strategy themselves. Therefore, one of the first steps taken was to recruit a Marketing Graduate, Catherine Gutsell, to further develop and promote our online brand and digital communications strategy.  The main activities Catherine has engaged in are:</p>
<ul>
<li>Search engine optimization.</li>
<li>Using social media such as <a href="http://bit.ly/2kY9yq">LinkedIn</a>, <a href="http://twitter.com/CKScienceJobs">Twitter</a> and <a href="http://bit.ly/zyeid">Facebook</a> to both educate and inform clients and candidates, not just to sell.</li>
<li>Using <a href="http://www.youtube.com/CKScienceJobs">YouTube</a> video job advertisements as a way to connect with candidates in a more human and personalised way.</li>
<li>Running regular surveys to gather information about the Scientific and Pharmaceutical industry and communicating findings back through relevant publications and social media.</li>
<li>Using <a href="http://ckscience.ning.com/">online communities</a> such as Ning.com and external blogs to candidates with industry updates and careers advice.</li>
</ul>
<p>So far, our efforts appear to be working. We have seen a 30% increase in organic hits to our scientific recruitment website. Not only this, but the deployment of our social media strategy has also added value to the experience we provide to both candidates and clients. In terms of our <a href="http://www.ckscience.co.uk/candidates/">candidates</a>, our use of social media enriches their job seeking experience as it allows us to build long-term sustainable relationships, enabling us to completely understand their needs.  From a <a href="http://www.ckscience.co.uk/clients/">client’s</a> perspective, by using social media to really get to grips with what the scientific jobseeker is about, we are able to create a great match between candidate and job. This means we don’t waste our clients’ time putting inappropriate candidates in front of them.</p>
<p>The aim of the conference is to help Corporate Recruiters, Recruitment Agencies, Recruitment Advertising Agencies, Job Boards and Recruitment Industry Suppliers get the most from the use of social media. The organizer, Mike Taylor, from <a href="http://www.web-based-recruitment.com/">Online Recruitment Marketing Specialists</a>, stated, “There were over 150 people at the first Conference which was a clear indication in the interest in Social Media. Next year’s conference will be held some nine months after the first one which means that there will be plenty of new things to talk about and discuss.”</p>
<p>Here at CK Science, we are looking forward to sharing our story at the <a href="http://www.socialmediainrecruitment.com/">Social Media Recruitment Conference</a>. Speaking of the conference, Catherine stated, “We are honored to be speaking at the Social Media Recruitment Conference and it’s brilliant that our efforts have been noticed by such a prestigious event within the Recruitment Industry. We are really looking forward to sharing our story.”</p>
<p>The conference will take place on Thursday 22<sup>nd</sup> April 2010 at the British Library Conference Centre in London. If you would like to register to attend Social Media Recruitment Conference, please visit their <a href="http://www.socialmediainrecruitment.com/">website</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Taking place on Thursday 22<sup>nd</sup> April 2010, the <a href="http://www.socialmediainrecruitment.com/">Social Media Recruitment Conference</a> is the second largest of its kind in the UK. <a href="http://www.ckscience.co.uk/">CK Science</a>, a leading specialist scientific recruitment company, has been recognized by the conference organizers to be a pioneer in the use of social media in scientific recruitment, and has been invited to speak at the Conference.Here at CK Science, we recognize that there are not enough hours in the day for our specialist scientific Consultants to drive our social media strategy themselves. Therefore, one of the first steps taken was to recruit a Marketing Graduate, Catherine Gutsell, to further develop and promote our online brand and digital communications strategy.  The main activities Catherine has engaged in are:</p>
<p>- Search engine optimization.</p>
<p>- Using social media such as <a href="http://bit.ly/2kY9yq">LinkedIn</a>, <a href="http://twitter.com/CKScienceJobs">Twitter</a> and <a href="http://bit.ly/zyeid">Facebook</a> to both educate and inform clients and candidates, not just to sell.</p>
<p>- Using <a href="http://www.youtube.com/CKScienceJobs">YouTube</a> video job advertisements as a way to connect with candidates in a more human and personalised way.</p>
<p>- Running regular surveys to gather information about the Scientific and Pharmaceutical industry and communicating findings back through relevant publications and social media.</p>
<p>- Using <a href="http://ckscience.ning.com/">online communities</a> such as Ning.com and external blogs to candidates with industry updates and careers advice.</p>
<p>So far, our efforts appear to be working. We have seen a 30% increase in organic hits to our scientific recruitment website. Not only this, but the deployment of our social media strategy has also added value to the experience we provide to both candidates and clients. In terms of our <a href="http://www.ckscience.co.uk/candidates/">candidates</a>, our use of social media enriches their job seeking experience as it allows us to build long-term sustainable relationships, enabling us to completely understand their needs.  From a <a href="http://www.ckscience.co.uk/clients/">client&#8217;s</a> perspective, by using social media to really get to grips with what the scientific jobseeker is about, we are able to create a great match between candidate and job. This means we don&#8217;t waste our clients&#8217; time putting inappropriate candidates in front of them.</p>
<p>The aim of the conference is to help Corporate Recruiters, Recruitment Agencies, Recruitment Advertising Agencies, Job Boards and Recruitment Industry Suppliers get the most from the use of social media. The organizer, Mike Taylor, from <a href="http://www.web-based-recruitment.com/">Online Recruitment Marketing Specialists</a>, stated, &#8220;There were over 150 people at the first Conference which was a clear indication in the interest in Social Media. Next year&#8217;s conference will be held some nine months after the first one which means that there will be plenty of new things to talk about and discuss.&#8221;</p>
<p>Here at CK Science, we are looking forward to sharing our story at the <a href="http://www.socialmediainrecruitment.com/">Social Media Recruitment Conference</a>. Speaking of the conference, Catherine stated, &#8220;We are honored to be speaking at the Social Media Recruitment Conference and it&#8217;s brilliant that our efforts have been noticed by such a prestigious event within the Recruitment Industry. We are really looking forward to sharing our story.&#8221;</p>
<p>The conference will take place on Thursday 22<sup>nd</sup> April 2010 at the British Library Conference Centre in London. If you would like to register to attend Social Media Recruitment Conference, please visit their <a href="http://www.socialmediainrecruitment.com/">website</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'"><o:p>Director at <a href="http://www.ckscience.co.uk/index.php">CK Science</a>, Liam O&#8217;Connell has recently featured in an article <a href="http://www.rsc.org/chemistryworld/Issues/2009/November/AgencyAccess.asp">‘Who&#8217;s Who: Agency Access&#8217;</a> by Sarah Houlton on behalf of <a href="http://www.rsc.org/chemistryworld/">Chemistry World</a>, giving advice to candidates looking for science jobs.  The article succinctly explains the benefits of registering with specialist scientific recruitment companies.</o:p></span><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'"><o:p>Liam explains the benefits of using specialist recruitment company&#8217;s rather than the more general outfits, &#8216;The big advantage is that we have a large selection of positions available at any one time. Candidates speak to one of our consultants, all of whom have a scientific background, who will understand what they are looking for and be able to discuss positions that might be suitable for them.&#8217;</o:p></span><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'"><o:p>Liam is right. Here at CK Science all of our consultants are highly trained, scientific recruitment professionals. They have functional experience in many specific scientific sectors such as biotechnology, organic chemistry or chemical engineering; therefore they are well placed to provide valuable advice and support to jobseekers in the scientific industry.</p>
<p>The article later goes on to touch upon the importance of being flexible as a jobseeker in these current economic times. During the past 18 months there has been an influx of jobseekers entering the scientific market due to a spate of redundancies. Liam offers some insightful guidance, advising that candidates become more flexible in terms of salary, location and type of role to maximize their chances of getting that perfect job. Liam states, &#8216;Once people are aware of that, it offers up a lot more opportunities,&#8217; he says. Flexibility is also extremely important for graduates at the moment. &#8216;They have to be prepared to relocate. If we don&#8217;t have anything for them, we may go to our clients to discuss their backgrounds, and search out positions that may be in the pipeline in the near future.&#8217;</p>
<p>The article then provides more advice to jobseekers, emphasising the importance of researching specialist recruitment companies relevant to your industry and then registering with 3 or 4 to ensure all bases are covered.  It is also essential that you keep your expectations realistic, unlike some, as Liam outlines, &#8220;&#8216;Graduates come out expecting to earn £30-35,000, and that&#8217;s not going to happen!&#8221;.</p>
<p>To receive more great advice from CK Science about how to get that perfect scientific job, you can take the following steps:</p>
