A process of receiving a job spec from a customer and then matching the applicant on file to a particular job. If no applicant is available, then advertising on Career 2000 social media platforms to attract current work seekers. As we are not a generalist recruiter, but rather a Specialist Recruiter (medical device and healthcare sales sector), we have built up a database over 24+ years in business, to work from and continue to receive new applicants on an annual basis.
Due to our Specialty (Medical Devices / Healthcare) we have a circle of repeat customers, who continue to work with Career 2000 on a regular basis, and have built excellent customer relations over more than two decades, which in turn, benefit the applicants who join our recruitment firm. Provided the applicant meets the requirements that the customer needs.
We act as the middleman between the candidate and the client. We help customers hire talent, and we help job hunters find their ideal job.
Yes, we place in country management, senior sales management, marketing, logistics, procurement and planning, data analysis, medical science liaison, supply chain (please note these are more on an Adhoc basis, or when a key position needs to be filled).
The bulk of our placements are in the sales representative job category. Career 2000 will willingly recruit for any level of job category within a medical healthcare organisation. Being 24+ years in existence, we have, over time, recruited for most of the job titles within any given healthcare organisation at some point.
The official working language is English. However, depending on location, the local language could be a plus.
All Medical Sales Representatives will need a motor vehicle to perform the job role. Companies will either ask you to provide your own vehicle, or provide a company car. It varies from company to company.
The recruiter needs to make notes about your application, and id unable to perform this task on a pdf document.
The most common mistake everyone makes is to exclude the most needed information, which is as follows:
Excessive color, cover pages, emojis, borders (keep it as plan and readable as possible on the eyes, the recruiter has to open many documents each day, the plainer the better).
Go to MS Word, press file, press new, in the search bar type the word RESUME and press enter. Pick a template, then add your information. Keep it simple. We suggest you make a one page resume. Then a more inclusive resume.
No, what you need to do is send an email (please preview CONTACTS for the correct address) with information in bullet form, see above on what must be included, and see below, so the search bot system can match your document to job profiles. The email will suffice, with these points answered in bullet form:
We file the document in a folder and wait for a customer to give us a job profile that matches your work history and experience. Should this happen, we will call you. If you do not hear back from us, the document stays on file, it simply means there are other applicants on file, matching the job role more suitably.
Career 2000 will call those candidates who match most suitably first and ask if they are available. We will then ask you to join our social medical platforms available to you, so you may keep abreast of our job openings (see the CONTACTS page for more information).

We focus on medical device sales. 1-2-3 Pharmaceutical clients are contacting us for their Graduate Sales Learnership Programs and Jnr Sales Representatives with 1-5 years’ experience only. We have told them we are getting many Snr Pharmaceutical Medical Sales Executives contacting us, their response is that the current budgets no longer allow them to hire in this salary band width, due to the economy in RSA.
We recommend if you are in a senior sales role in the pharmaceutical sector (more than 6 years sales history), you preferably spread your net to the existing Pharmaceutical Recruitment firms, to ask them what their current market is doing with regards to being hired for your work experience and background.
You need to advise of any dismissal, criminal activities against your ID number and endorsements on your car driving license, and lastly of any breach of contract issues at any previous employers.
If you have received a judgement against your name (credit record), or have been sued for debt, please discuss with the recruiter. Many clients require background checks as part of their onboarding process, and at the Offer stage of the recruitment process, these checks will be conducted, subject to all be clear.
The customer base we work with, when asked this question, say only if the person has the following: customers in their field of business (surgeons and the operating room), experience selling their product portfolio (medical devices, implants, orthopedic systems, capital equipment in the medical field, instruments, spine systems and many more). They are unwilling to train someone without this criteria at a snr salary level, if they do not have these criteria.
So we recommend you try approach companies directly on linkedin or their webpage to get direct feedback. We have not been successful in moving pharmaceutical sales representatives to the role of medical device sales representatives, due to the customers operational requirements. We are unsure how they would respond to a candidate directly.
You are more than welcome. The onus is on you to keep track of which company you have sent your CV to privately. The onus is on you to keep track of which recruiters have engaged with you first, about which job openings, in order be transparent and professional. See more below.
You are required to tell the recruiter, that you have already been put forward by another recruitment firm. Career 2000 is then not able to submit your resume for a second time, it is not permitted. Likewise if we engage with you on a position, the onus is on you to let the other recruiters know, when they call, that your CV has already been submitted, and they too may not send the document, to remain professional. The customer does not wish to receive the resume twice, as it then becomes a legal battle as to who gets paid the fee should you be hired.
The rule is WHICH EVER RECRUITER ENGAGES WITH YOU FIRST ON THE POSITION, AND GETS YOUR PERMISSION TO PUT YOUR CV FORWARD, IS THE RECRUITER THAT YOU WILL DEAL WITH SOLELY FOR THE PURPOSE OF THAT JOB.
You are required to tell the recruiter, then Career 2000 is not permitted to send your CV to the customer.

This is typically valid for a period of up to 6 months after we have sent the resume (a clause in our recruitment contract with the customers).
However, it may become less relevant, if in a totally different division or business unit. The solution would be to contact the recruiter and explained what has happened, as well as to advise the person asking you to submit the CV, that it is already on file, via your recruiter Career 2000.

“In general I’m looking to make around R25,000 to R30,000 in my next role given my experience and expertise in Arthroscopy. However, compensation isn’t the only thing that matters to me and I’d love to learn more about the job, the company, and the work environment here. Your website mentions work ethos and other benefits, which signals to me that this is a company that values their employees, which is definitely important to me, and I could be a bit flexible with salary for the right fit”.
“Taking into account my experience and relations with the Orthopedic Surgeons on the East Rand in Johannesburg, which you mentioned earlier would be very helpful to the team, I’m looking for somewhere between R350,000 and R420,000 annually for this role. But for me, benefits definitely matter as well. Your free on-site gym, the 100% medical aid benefits, and other perks could definitely allow me to be a bit flexible with salary.”
“Right now finding the right position for me is more important than salary. I’d love to learn more about the job, the company, the entire benefits package, before we talk about numbers”
“Unfortunately with my experience and current salary, I don’t know if I can accept anything for less than R350,000 a year. Do you know if there is any flexibility in the budget for this role?”
“I was hoping for something more in the R15-to-R20K range, but I’m definitely open to negotiating based on the entire compensation package.”
