Jackie, thank you so much for all your help with this search. I had high expectations and you surpassed them, which is greatly appreciated!
— Tim K., Chief Financial Officer
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
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
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 is The Top Performer. Everything that you expect of a professional recruiter. She gets to know your company, core values, and culture, becoming a great ambassador of your firm during the recruitment process and beyond.
— Jose J., Vice President, Life Sciences
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
I was new client of Jackie’s. She was critical to the quality and content of the position search and aligning with my skill set. The role I accepted was unique and took a great deal of client and company interactions to align on career goals and requirements. It turned out to be a great fit for me and the company. 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.
— Mitch G., Vice President of Process Technology
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.

Janene was extremely professional, kind, and thoughtful throughout my business opportunity. I would absolutely work with her again and would recommend her services to my colleagues without reservation.
— David S., MD, Global Head of Clinical Development
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.

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.

I had the pleasure of working with Christina and Jackie during a recent recruitment process, and I cannot speak highly enough of their professionalism and dedication. From the outset, Christina was incredibly communicative and responsive, ensuring that I was well-informed every step of the way. She and Jackie both thoroughly explained the job description, responsibilities, and expectations, providing valuable insights that made the decision-making process much smoother. What stood out most was the team’s ability to turn what can often be a stressful experience into a seamless and efficient process. They both were SOO proactive in addressing any questions or concerns I had.

Thanks to Christina’s guidance and professionalism, I landed my new role. I can confidently say she goes above and beyond for the people she works with, and I’d recommend her to anyone looking for a recruiter who truly cares about your success.

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.
— Shalini K., Communications Scientist
