Development & Project Manager, Life-Sciences Development Company
“There are oceans between great recruitment specialists and bad, and from my experience I tend to find that out after I’ve taken my first interview with them. The consultant at Macdonald & Company was spot on from the moment we first spoke. They gave me more than enough information on the role, company and process. They pushed to get me in front of the life-sciences development company – who were already well along their way – then pushed to keep the momentum up and get the role secured within just a couple of weeks.
I have never experienced such a personal level of interaction when looking for a new role and hope to stay connected with the recuritment consultant throughout my career. I truly felt they were going to bat for me and dealt with my neuroses like a true professional!”
