“Without a doubt, Jon is the most thorough and prepared recruiter I’ve met. His attention to detail and in-depth knowledge of the company impressed me. He knew everything about his client from the company financials, to products in their pipeline, to company culture to the personality of the hiring manager.
At the time Jon reached out to me, I wasn’t looking at new opportunities. Things were going fine, but because of how much he knew about the company, the opportunity surrounding the role, and the way he described the opportunity, it was very enticing. He presented the opportunity in such a way that I could see myself in the role and what opportunities would be available to me.
His follow up is second to none. He always returned my email, calls, and if he said he would send something, he did so promptly. He was honest and upfront about everything, and that earned my trust. Overall, I feel Jon exceeded my expectations and would recommend anyone looking to make a career move, talk with Jon.”

“Jon and I have known each other for a few years and when he approached me on this position, I was not actively looking for a new role. However, he knew a lot about the company, it’s people, the position, career opportunity and why it could be a good move for me. He made the opportunity very appealing. In working with him, I felt he was genuinely interested in me and my career. As we went through the interview process, everything was as he described them. Jon was in constant contact with me throughout, so I also knew what next steps were. He made the process easier and I would recommend him to anyone that’s considering making a move.”

“Jon’s value to me goes beyond filling a job. He was initially referred to me by an internal manager, as a recruiter that’s honest and reliable. Over time, I also found him to be personable, knowledgeable and responsive. We built our relationship on his integrity and ability to deliver strong candidates quickly. I knew if Jon sent someone to me, they were worth my time. His tenure in the pharmaceutical industry gives him insights that few recruiters can provide. He has survived several industry downturns, knows company histories (past and present) and can provide an understanding of a candidate’s background, that only comes with experience. I would recommend Jon to any hiring manager or candidate.”

“I have really enjoyed working with Jon over the past several years. He has helped me recruit for positions at all levels within the commercial and Medical Affairs departments. Some of the roles required a very specific skill set, educational background, location and personality type. Between his deep understanding of the Pharmaceutical Industry and the depth of his network, he’s been able to present us with quality candidates when others haven’t been able to. Jon is a relationship based recruiter and gets to know his candidates and the hiring managers so he can make the best fit rather than just filling a job. He is the most transparent and honest recruiter I’ve worked with. He has been an integral part of building the cultures in the companies I’ve worked for.”

“Jon's ability to find the right talent, at the right time, has never failed me. He's the recruiter I can count on for a quick and thorough response to my exact professional needs. Jon has an excellent understanding of the medical research marketplace and the role requirements I am trying to fill. When he speaks with potential candidates, he presents the role as an opportunity for that specific person. Jon is honest, trustworthy, genuine, and someone who cares about the quality of his work. I’ve seen this through the high caliber of candidates he sends to me; how well he knows each candidate, and how knowledgeable the candidate is about the role and opportunity. Jon always preps me for each interview and follows up for feedback after I have met the person he put forth. If needed, he adjusts his search and finds other qualified professionals. Within weeks after his person starts, Jon touches base with me to see how they are doing. It’s a detail oriented, personal, and authentic touch that I haven’t seen from other recruiters. He’s earned my confidence and I will continue to call on him for roles I need to fill.”

“Jon and I have worked together for over 8 years and he exceeded my expectations on every project. In the beginning of each search, he asks thoughtful questions about the personality and experience of the ideal candidate. Additionally, he ensures he has a clear understanding of the candidate expectations to identify the best fit for the role. Jon presents a summary of each candidate including an overview of their skills, successes and other important insights based on the screening process. His summaries gave me a sense of what drives that person and what they did that allowed them to achieve success in their role. Between the candidate’s resume and Jon’s profile, I get a 360 degree perspective of each candidate. Every candidate Jon presented to me matched the experience and educational requirement I was looking for. There was never any “noise” with him sending candidates that didn’t fit the profile. On the applicant side, he fully explained the company, role and opportunity so by the time I spoke with them, our conversation was as much on cultural fit as it was about the role itself. His understanding of the industry, job market and therapeutic category were apparent by the quality of candidates he sent to me. I always felt that Jon aligned me with the best possible candidates for the role.”

“Jon was such a pleasure to work with - we have been in contact since mid October and he has been extremely professional, attentive and helpful the entire time. I am beyond grateful for Jon's help in securing my new position with a great company! Jon made himself available to me 24/7, he promptly answered any emails, texts and phone calls, and if he didn't have an answer he found one and got back to me ASAP. Once I moved forward in the interview process Jon was the perfect liaison between myself and my new employer. He coordinated all my interviews, set aside time for phone calls prior to each interview to discuss the process and prepare me, he then also made sure to follow up with me after each interview to discuss how I felt it went. Once I was offered the position, Jon did all the negotiating and got me the best offer possible. It was such a relief to work with someone who knew all the right questions to ask, who knew how to prepare me and who communicated so well with me throughout the whole process. I really felt/feel like Jon genuinely cared about my career search and was determined to help me land the position and I am so grateful for all the work he did over the past few weeks. I 100% recommend working with Jon and South Twin Executive Search!”
