The Bandish Group 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 reach out to Jackie for future recruitment needs.
— Sara L., Global Head of Clinical Lab Operations and Services
Janene is a fantastic person and I am extremely thankful that our paths crossed. From our first conversation, I knew I was interacting with a true professional and a person who was extremely knowledgeable of the pharmaceutical and biotech industry. Janene knows how to seamlessly navigate the hiring process and deliver successful results. All of her clients consider her a mentor and a friend. She has the highest respect from companies that employ her services to fill critical positions as well as candidates seeking opportunities. I really enjoyed working with her.

Jackie and the entire team at The Bandish Group provide top tier talent acquisition services for the Life Science industry. This is accomplished thru a fair and candid communication style that starts a sincere understanding of the roles, responsibilities, and character traits needing fulfillment, and transitions over to an understanding of the candidate’s goals for their career growth, work-life balance, etc. Ultimately, the services provided by her and the team have consistently resulted in the “right person in the right seat”; creating an environment that is beneficial to both the business and its people.

Janene took all the feedback we gave her and applied that going forward so we were not wasting effort or time. I was very pleased with the quality of the candidates presented for every position. Janene has done an outstanding job (and I have been a recruiter myself and worked with a wide variety of recruiters in my career). She is one of the very best I have worked with.
— Jane L., Manager of Human Resources
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.
— John W., Vice President, Global Business Development
Janene was phenomenal to work with. She possesses the unique ability to service her client while representing your interests. She is friendly, positive, upbeat and above all, honest. I welcome the opportunity to work with her again in the future.

Jackie Bandish is a professional, prompt and an engaged recruiter. I met Jackie when she reached out to me in regard to a career opportunity. Throughout the recruitment process Jackie was very professional and helped ensure that there was a good match between what I had to offer and the needs of the company, representing the interest of both parties effectively. She was very prompt in responding to requests and questions, even taking the time to respond after hours. Here assistance and guidance during my preparation for the interview were also invaluable. Notably, she followed up after I commenced my new position with the company to enquire how things were going. She is an excellent recruiter who is committed to ensuring the best possible match between the job seeker and the employer. It was a pleasure working with Jackie and I highly recommend her.

Jackie did an excellent job on representing my interests and negotiating on my behalf. Her depth of experience was imperative to the success of my placement.

Jackie is the best recruiter I’ve worked with over many years in pharma and the CRO industries. I can not recommend her highly enough. She has a keen eye for matching the person with the position. She maintains contact on both sides, follows through, and doesn’t “leave you hanging”. I can’t recommend Jackie highly enough to both job seekers and employers.

— David S., MD, Global Head of Clinical Development
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!
— William A., MD, Chief Medical Officer
I have worked with Jackie and her team for many years on several projects. Jackie is the consummate professional who operates with transparency and most of all, integrity.

I have worked with her team on “C” level executives, through the Senior Vice President/Vice President (Heads) of functions, to individual contributors. She performs and with rare exceptions, makes the placement.
— Jeff K., Vice President and Head of Human Resources
I had the pleasure of working with Jackie on a recent high-level recruitment assignment. Jackie was professional, efficient, highly personable and leveraged her extensive network to produce the very best candidates. When it comes to achieving a specific and specialized result in a search for talent that can impact the course of a company’s future, Jackie should be at the top of your list. I would recommend Jackie without hesitation.
— Peter K., Executive Vice President, Marketing and Technology
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.
— Rob B., Chief Executive Officer
Jackie is the consummate professional, kind courteous and completely service oriented. She makes the sometime difficult process of changing careers feel easy and effortless. I would recommend her to anyone, she’s in a class all of her own.
