“I have had the opportunity and privilege to work with Cliff and his team for several years regarding the recruitment of MDs for both clinical and medical teams in oncology. In addition, I have been successfully placed by Cliff in a senior clinical leadership position. Consequently, I have the unique perspective of working with Cliff as an Executive Search Consultant as both a recruiting manager and as a potential recruit.

In my opinion, Cliff’s success is based on his years of experience as well as his commitment to achieve a “good match” between the candidate and the position. I have always found Cliff to invest time in understanding the role to be filled and the company and its culture. Similarly, he understands the experience and interests of the potential candidate(s) to ensure they will be successful in their new role. I have always found Cliff to be very helpful at acting as a liaison for both the recruit and the hiring manager throughout the entire recruitment process. During my years of working with Cliff, he has always conducted himself with the highest standard of integrity and professionalism. Consequently, I have no hesitation in strongly recommending Cliff and his team.”
