Testimonials
“Denise made the whole process of changing jobs easy and stress-free. She is a delight to speak to, always has a positive and cheerful attitude, and is very thorough in her approach. I found the process to be very straightforward and appreciated the follow-up calls and time she put into helping me build my confidence and find an appropriate position. I'd highly recommend Denise!”
Senior Medical Writer
“Denise and John at Medical Talent have been, and continue to be, simply brilliant. Having worked with them on both sides, I can recommend them to candidates and hiring managers alike. The growth of our team would have been much more painful without their fabulous support. When I see a candidate come through I just know they will be someone that is absolutely worth interviewing and, more often than not, hiring! I can't thank you both enough.”
Client
“It was a pleasure working with John; his valuable insights, wealth of experience, relationships with companies and individuals are second to none. I found a great agency to work with and John's guidance throughout streamlined the entire process. Two big thumbs up.”
Senior Scientific Director
“I had the pleasure of previously working with Emma and wouldn't hesitate in recommending her. Emma is extremely knowledgeable and hard working and a great people person. She is enthusiastic and outgoing and very good at motivating others. I will definitely contact Emma in the future if I need to find a new role in Med Comms.”
Senior Medical Writer
“If you're working with recruiters then Medical Talent is one you want on your PSL. Denise supported our recruitment efforts without taking over, and in partnership with her we were able to consistently fill difficult vacancies quickly & effectively. She understood our business and our culture and I knew any candidates coming over from Denise were going to be a great fit. I'd wholeheartedly recommend having her on your side.”
Client
“I just wanted to say a massive thank you again for guiding me through the process of finding a new job. Elaine’s help and support was absolutely invaluable. From our very first call, and at every stage along the way, I really felt in safe hands. In the meantime, I will be recommending Elaine and Medical Talent to everyone I know who is looking for a new position in Med Comms!”
Senior Account Director
“Denise is a fantastic recruiter. From the first call, I knew my application and job search was in good hands. She understood what I wanted from my next role and provided me with several interview opportunities which led me to landing my current role. More importantly, she is one of the most supportive recruiters I have worked with. She always made time for quick catch ups throughout the recruitment process and continued to do so after I started. Thank you for everything, Denise! It has been a pleasure to work with you!”
Senior Medical Writer
“Elaine always has a positive energy and people-first approach, which make her great at her role in talent acquisition. She also has experience in other MedComms roles, which gives her valuable insights and a sound knowledge of the industry. She is organised and proactive, and a pleasure to work with.”
Client
“John is very good at what he does, and I strongly recommend working with him if you are looking to find the right job within the healthcare sector. You get a real sense that John cares about your future career, and making sure the job fits you, not just you fitting with the job!”
Client Services Director
“I thoroughly and wholeheartedly recommend Elaine, the recruitment process with her was a great experience. The entire journey from our first conversation to actually starting my new role was very professional but also insightful, marked by a unique human touch, which shows again that experience and top technical skills, paired with empathy and kindness, are key pieces of success, no matter the business you’re in.”
Account Director
“Having worked in a healthcare comms agency herself, Emma has a unique understanding of the challenges and opportunities within our sector. Even more importantly, she is personable and a pleasure to work with - I can't recommend her more highly!”
Client
“I worked with John on a recent job search, and I cannot speak highly enough of his support and expertise. He listened to and understood all of my needs and requirements after leaving a role that wasn't working for me, and worked closely with me over a number of weeks to secure something subtly different and so far, it's perfect. His industry knowledge is seemingly endless, and I really appreciated how he made me feel like everything was tailored specifically to me, and I wasn't just any old employee he was trying to place anywhere.”
Scientific Strategist
“John always produced great results for our businesses and has a solid understanding of our industry and what makes healthcare candidates tick. He's also a lot of fun to work with as a recruitment partner and definitely someone I'd recommend to use when you're looking to hire.”
Client
“Emma is a fantastic recruiter and lovely to work with. She was instrumental in helping me secure my new role, always happy to answer any questions I had, and helped me thoroughly prepare for interview so that I had the best chance possible. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a role in MedComms and can honestly say she's the best and nicest recruiter I've ever worked with.”
