On Q Recruitment is a specialist recruitment agency operating across the life sciences and medical technology sectors. With a growing team and strong industry connections, the business wanted to further establish itself as a trusted authority within a highly technical and regulated market.


As part of a long-term partnership, Prominence supported On Q Recruitment with consistent, insight-led marketing designed to build credibility over time.
