Josh did an excellent job of coordinating interviews and following up.

David, Senior Corporate Counsel, Biotechnology Company – March 2022

I worked in the agency world for over 13 years, and I just want to share with you, Mandy and Josh, that you are absolutely exceptional at what you do. Your turn-around-time, level of professionalism and customer service are all second to none.

Senior Manager Talent Acquisition, Biotechnology Company – March 2022

Absolutely amazing experience. Suzanne was a pleasure to work with. Would work with her again anytime.

Tomislav, Senior Scientist, Biosciences Company – June 2021

The experience was very positive. Josh Flagg set an excellent balance between being patient and recognizing when windows of opportunity to move forward arose. He was an excellent guide through the process.

John, Senior Director of Clinical Research, Biopharmaceutical Company – May 2021

Josh is one of the best recruiters I’ve worked with. He knows and cares about his clients on both sides of the hiring process, and I truly appreciate it.

Olga, Senior Manager, Biopharmaceutical Company – April 2021

Suzanne has been extremely professional and responsive in her interaction with me and the company. I have thoroughly enjoyed working with her.

Steven, Senior Manager of Vendor Outsourcing, Biopharmaceutical Company – February 2021

Suzanne and Denise have been really helpful and worked very closely in setting up interviews and following up with the company. I wish them good luck and hope to work with them in the future.

Sanjay, Clinical Data Manager, Biopharmaceutical Company – January 2021

Terrific experience! Mandy was, as always, a pleasure to deal with and available whenever needed. LOTS of strong candidates and quick turnaround. Thank you!

Senior Recruiter, Global Investment Firm – November 2020

Had a great experience. Haeley kept in touch with me throughout the interview process and coached me as well.

Paralegal Manager, Global Law Firm – November 2020

Josh has been an excellent partner to have on my high level/hard to fill searches. I like his consultative approach rather than a “sales push”. He continues to push forward on hard searches, unlike other agencies that may give up after submitting a few candidates. Josh also does the right amount of checking in regarding next steps. True partnership every step of the way and goes above and beyond in helping with the candidate offer-management process.
