TESTIMONIALS
“Jackie is the best recruiter I have worked with in my career. I had a wonderful experience working with her on a recent opportunity. I cannot recommend Jackie highly enough for both sides of the recruitment process. She maintains contact, follows through, and makes sure she positions her clients for success. Her engagement goes beyond the hiring process and maintains contact with her clients to ensure the fit between organization and candidate is successful. Her attention to detail and care for her clients cannot be matched. I would absolutely reached out to Jackie for future recruitment needs. ”
“I just wanted to thank you again for your time and investment in helping me yesterday. I was telling my friends last night how much you absolutely made my day with your thoughtful suggestions and actually showing me how to do a few things! Having worked with A LOT of recruiters throughout my career, I was absolutely blown away by you - your professionalism, kindness and genuine interest in me. Thank you for making my day a lot brighter and for your incredible suggestions. I will let you know how the interview goes later today :).”

“I highly recommend Jackie for both sides of recruitment transactions. She introduced me to a great opportunity and has been a critical resource for key talent in my new organization moving forward. She understands well that “fit” between a candidate and organization is critical to all stakeholders. She succeeds when her clients build successful teams and grow organizations. It’s a long-term partnership mindset that few in the recruitment business truly embrace. Jackie is one of them. Do yourself a favor and engage with her if looking for new opportunities or trying to find that perfect new hire to grow your business.

“I’ve been in Pharma for about a decade and interacted with several recruiters and Jackie is among the very best I’ve known. She is professional yet personable, motivated, well-organized, and most importantly: transparent! At every step of the way in my last job change I knew what was happening and what to expect next. She delivered strong results during contract negotiations and followed through once I was hired. I am happy to give her the highest possible recommendation.”
“Jackie completely understood the role I was hiring for, and the capabilities I needed in that role. She produced a quality set of candidates that impressed not only me but all members of the executive staff. We were forced with the difficult task of choosing between several quality finalists. Jackie also played an important role in closing the deal / offer with the candidate we selected. I couldn’t have been more satisfied with this search.”
“I recently had the opportunity to work with Jackie and found her focus, responsiveness, attention to detail, and desire to find the” right fit” a core strength. Jackie has the ability to anticipate potential situations before they occur then works to find mutually beneficial solutions. I would highly recommend Jackie and her team to anyone interested in career transition. A pleasure to work with.”
“I had a wonderful experience working with Jackie. She is very detailed oriented and extremely thorough. She spent a lot of time with me discussing a potential role which ended up turning into a fantastic new position with a great company. She was also a great sounding board for ideas regarding interview, presentations, etc. The entire experience was very pleasant as I felt like she always looked out for my best interest every step of the way. I highly recommend Jackie to any potential recruit and company.”
“I want to thank you again, Jackie, for doing an outstanding job with this very important search for our company, and at a critical time for us in preparing for our launch efforts. I always aspire to marry both Quality and Speed in every effort that I make in this complex industry of ours, while sacrificing neither. That is exactly what you did in this search. Of the many Medical Affairs searches that I have done, this was the quickest to completion, and ended with two finalists that all interviewers were very positive about and were happy to have in the company. That is a great position to be in when hiring for such an important position. I appreciated your professionalism and your intuitive guidance during the search, as well as all the time and efforts that you made to pull the candidate over the finish line during a Holiday week. Thank you, well done, and congrats to you as well!”
“Jackie is a seasoned and extremely well connected executive. Her working style and approach goes way beyond the standard HR, recruitment and coaching services one may expect. She really loves what she does, it’s not only about business; it’s about people and their aspirations. It’s about finding the right fit for her corporate and individual clients. I would highly recommend her services, you won’t be disappointed. ”
