Lauren is among the best connected recruiters in the clinical trial industry period! She takes the time to understand the needs of the employer, discusses the job description, and only submits qualified candidates! She is a true professional in her trade!
Lauren connected with me on LinkedIn just this past October, and in a little over two months, she helped land my dream job! Lauren was focused at learning my specific skill sets and my interests, presenting my CV for consideration and following up with information and suggestions every step of the way. I have worked with many recruiters over the years, and Lauren is superior in terms of her efficiency and effectiveness. I highly recommend Lauren for anyone's job search!
Lauren has worked with me on several opportunities in the CRO/biotech market space. At all times, Lauren was the consummate professional -- knowledgeable about the industry and her client companies, affable, supportive, and always a reliable sounding board for questions and concerns about the opportunities in discussion. I was fortunate to have worked with such an excellent, results-driven, candidate-focused professional. Though she is hired by her client companies, Lauren succeeds because she is a champion of the candidate, making certain that all the right questions are asked, that the candidate's concerns and questions are properly addressed, that the candidate is comfortable with the hiring company and its culture. She is eager to help negotiate the candidate's arrangement with her client. When the candidate is satisfied and comfortable, the client is satisfied, which only serves to enhance her reputation as a recruiter who brings only the best candidates to her clients.
Lauren Adams identifed me via LinkedIn as a potential candidate for a position that I eventually obtained. Lauren had the instincts and knowledge to know that I was a fit for the position and to convince me to apply. Thanks Lauren for putting me on track to a new opportunity.
I highly recommend Lauren as a clinical development recruiter. Lauren has assisted me numerous times over the past ten years, both as a hiring manager and as a job candidate. Recently, I engaged Lauren in a search that required a difficult-to-find combination of skills and experience. The hiring committee was quite selective and the process dragged on for months. Lauren remained professional, dedicated, and industrious throughout. She persisted to identify qualified candidates, including the one we ultimately hired, beyond the point most other recruiters would have quit the search. If you are looking to hire in this space, you will be glad you reached out to Lauren.
I would highly recommend Lauren Adams. Lauren approached me through LinkedIn and impressed me with her clear, timely, and highly proficient communication skills. It was a great pleasure working with her through every step of the process, from the initial contact to her follow up, a month after I started the position she identified for me. Thank you Lauren!
