The job search problem

A recruiter-led job search puts a middleman between you and your next employer

Many permanent pharmacy jobs are still filled through recruiters. You wait for updates, you rarely speak to the pharmacy directly, and you often accept a role without seeing how the team works. The recruiter's fee also makes you a more expensive hire.

A middleman sits between you and the job

Your application, questions and salary talks go through a recruiter before they ever reach the pharmacy.

You can't talk to the person hiring you

You wait for recruiter updates instead of asking the pharmacy manager about the role, schedule and team yourself.

You commit before you see the workplace

You accept an offer after a few interviews, without seeing the dispensary, the workflow or the people you'll work with every day.

Recruiter fees make you costlier to hire

Recruiters charge employers 15–20% of your first-year salary. That fee comes out of the same budget that pays you.

Your salary stays yours

You keep 100% of your salary, with no recruiter in between

Job seekers never pay a fee on ReliefGuru, and nothing is ever taken from your salary. You apply to the pharmacy directly, talk to the people hiring you, and can work a shift there before you decide.

How it works

From application to offer in four simple steps

Finding a permanent role shouldn't mean months of phone calls and recruiter check-ins. On ReliefGuru you search, apply and talk to employers in one app. Here is how a typical application moves from your first search to your first day.

01Sign up

Create a free account

04Start

Get hired

Try before you commit

Try the pharmacy on a relief shift before you commit

An interview only tells you so much about a workplace. Many candidates work a few relief shifts at a pharmacy first to see the culture and workflow for themselves. If it feels right, you accept the permanent role knowing exactly what to expect.

See the team culture first

Work alongside the team for a shift and see how people communicate and support each other on a busy day.

Learn the workflow and systems

Get a feel for the dispensary, the software, the volume and the pace before they become your daily routine.

Earn while you decide

Trial shifts are real relief shifts, so you are paid for your work while you get to know the pharmacy.

Say yes with confidence

Accept the permanent offer only once you know the role, commute, schedule and team are right for you.
