Interested in Eli Lilly jobs? We are proud to announce that Eli Lilly will be exhibiting as well as recruiting at Jobs Expo Cork. The event takes place on Saturday 25th November 2017 at Devere Hall, Áras na Mac Léinn in UCC.

History

In 1876, Colonel Eli Lilly in Indianapolis founded Eli Lilly and Company. The Colonel was a pharmaceutical chemist and a veteran of the US Civil War. At the time, medicine was often ineffective or badly made. He decided to prepare high quality medicines, based on the best scientific research. He also decided that doctors should dispense his medications, not travelling salesmen.

Colonel Lilly laid down the foundations that are at the core of the company that bears his name. Eli Lilly focuses on the quality of their products as well as the discovery and development of new and better medicines.

Headquartered in Indianapolis, Indiana, Eli Lilly is one of the world’s leading pharmaceutical manufacturers. It was also the first company to mass-produce penicillin, the polio vaccine and insulin. The company has a global workforce of more than 41,000 people.

Eli Lilly in Cork

In July 2010, Eli Lilly chose Cork as the location for the company’s European Shared Services. The centre is located in Eastgate Business Park in Little Island. This Cork operation has over 350 employees. This was part of a strategy to gain efficiencies in areas of finance.

Since then, the Cork operation grew to covers areas such as Global Travel and Meeting Services, HR, Data Operations and Customer Meeting Services. In addition, Cork recently added Medical Information, Global Customer Operations and a Content Management Hub to their services. As a result, Eli Lilly in Cork works is a Global Business Solutions operation and a Centre of Excellence to achieve overall Eli Lilly objectives.

Eli Lilly in Cork is a diverse company with over 30 nationalities contributing to their success. The company’s core values are Excellence, Integrity and Respect for People.

Expansion in Kinsale

In May this year, Eli Lilly announced plans to expand its manufacturing site in Kinsale. This will create hundreds of new jobs in addition to the 500 people already employed by the company in Kinsale.

 

 

Want to know more about the Noel Group before Jobs Expo Cork? We chatted to Tracey Scott, Regional Operations Manager for the Group and quizzed her for information.

You have a number of divisions and specialisms. Which ones will be attending Jobs Expo Cork?

In Cork, our consultants will be recruiting for Hospitality, Healthcare, Industrial, Logistics, Warehousing, Call Centre, Construction, Retail, Office and Secretarial. We will of course be delighted to all candidates regardless of the sector in which they wish to work.

What do you think are the 3 most important factors that set the Noel Group apart?

Firstly, I would say the longevity of the Noel Group indicates the level of experience that has be gained over such a sustained period. In addition, our network of branch offices nationwide enables Noel to offer our services in both city and rural locations. Finally, it would be our ability to provide and payroll large numbers of temporary workers on a daily basis from any of our branch locations.

How has recruitment changed in the 27 years of the Noel Group’s history?

The main difference would be the way in which we search for and attract candidates. We have had to embrace the age of Social Media and Digital Marketing, in order to engage with our candidates.

What kind of candidates are you hoping to meet at Jobs Expo Cork?

We will be looking for candidates who are actively looking for either temporary or permanent employment in any sector.

Before attendees meet you at Jobs Expo Cork is there any preparation they should do?

The best advice would be to have a clear idea of what type of work you are looking for and to have researched the necessary qualifications and experience these roles will require. I cannot stress enough the need for setting realistic goals that match the education, training and experience of the candidate for the role they hope to secure.

What should they bring?

The crucial element would be a current CV which includes all personal contact details, qualifications and previous work experience. Furthermore, another important part of our registration will require two or three references. These can be taken from previous employers, work experience, or voluntary and educational references for those candidates that have recently entered the employment market.

Can you tell us about some of the courses offered through Skills Team Training Services?   

We currently offer a variety of courses including bespoke training courses. Some of the courses on offer at present include Food Safety, Manual Handling, Patient Handling courses, Safe Pass, Fire Warden, IOSH Certificate in Working Safely, Customer Care, Infection Prevention and Control and Elder Abuse.

Noel Retail is your newest division. What kinds of retail opportunities does this division cover?

Noel Retail works with clients across a broad spectrum of retails sectors including Food, Furniture, Pharmacy, Fashion, Beauty and Motor to name just a few.
