Candidates

“Gerard treated me, the candidate, with courtesy, respect, and integrity, dealing comprehensively with the myriad professional and personal aspects of senior recruitment.” Ted Danse, CEO, Neurotech S.A.

"Gerard is a very unusual headhunter. Unlike many of his peers, Gerard had clearly more than a passing acquaintance with the senior management team of his client, understood its business and what would be required for the post to be filled successfully. Gerard demonstrated his experience of the potentially complex issues surrounding an international relocation. He didn't keep throwing numerous possible roles at me hoping that eventually one would stick; he kept me fully updated on the process and progress of his client's decision-making and he returned telephone calls and e-mails virtually instantaneously." David Dally, CFO, MerLion Pharma

�gWith his extensive experience from biotech and pharma, Gerard combines a deep understanding of the requirements of his client (the company) with the ability to both thoroughly assess and guide the candidate in regard to the position in question. This made the process for me (the candidate) both very challenging and very satisfying. At the same time, I enjoyed Gerard�fs pleasant personality and his excellent sense of humour.�h Jakob Dynnes Hansen, CFO, Evolva
