Bringing Great Companies and Great People Together

What people are saying?

I was so consumed by my academic workload I could not think about anything else. If I had not attended this program I would have no idea about opportunities in industry nor would I have any information about industry. The presentation was excellent – it gave me a whole new window into a career in industry! The presenters were obviously top clinicians and scientists; I could identify with everything they were saying. I’d like to revisit opportunities in industry with you in about 6 to 8 months.

Fellow, SUNY Downstate Medical Center, Division of Hematology and Oncology

Just a personal note: I wanted to let you know that we just received an acceptance and our CMO is extremely pleased. Also, I wanted to say that I very much respect the fact that you continued to work on the position without an additional fee to find a great candidate for us. Being a fellow recruiter, I feel this reflects very well – not only on yourself but the profession as well. I honestly believe that the majority of our colleagues would not have followed through in such a professional way. Congratulations!

Head of Talent Acquisition, Maryland Pharmaceutical Company

I have spent a considerable amount of time with Tim Ruef on the telephone. Without question, he is one of the best recruiters I have ever worked with and I have worked with many over a 26 year span. His professionalism and interpersonal warmth made the process much easier than I anticipated. In sum, he is clearly a cut above the other folks that I have encountered in our industry.

Hi Tim, I thought your presentation on Orientation at the SHRM conference was one of the best ones I attended – very insightful, very useful. I am currently re-evaluating and revamping our orientation process, and would love to see some of the materials you mentioned in your presentation. Thanks in advance!

Mark C, Hospital Administrator, Vermont

I have never previously heard a talk about a career in the pharmaceutical industry, so all information was new to me. I had never previously thought about a career in industry, but now I am aware of this option.
