The RSA Group Executive Interim Solutions - Case Studies

    “As the interim HRD at Immunocore I appointed RSA to run Executive Searches for two key SVP/VP roles in Autoimmune Translation and in Haematology.  Their care and attention in taking and defining the brief, and the subsequent quality of their research, finding a range of credible and appointable candidates from around Europe and the States was exemplary.

    I’ve always enjoyed working with RSA, for their excellent communications, their professionalism, their deep knowledge of the life sciences market and their aftercare of candidates that are unsuccessful.”

    “I enjoyed working with Paul very much during one of my last assignments. He was very customer oriented and was focused to serve the needs of all involved parties. Important for me, he updated me regularly on the status of the discussions and contract negotiations. After starting my interims assignment, I appreciated his regular feedbacks and updates, enabling all parties to get the most benefit from this assignment.

    From my perspective as an Freelancer/Interim Consultant, I can recommend him very much and would anytime work with him again.”

    Paul is an energizing, proficient recruiter with a clear understanding of where you may be needed while you can remain comfortable in practicing the medical profession in your narrow field. Fast, concrete, effective in placing the freelancer in the best place for him. I recommend working with him. Moreover, very nice, easy-going.”

    Paul stands apart from other people in the recruitment industry that I have encountered. He goes out of the way to assist you and really wants the best for you, even if he doesn’t stand to gain. He is also very knowledgeable, efficient and an absolute pleasure to work with.”

    “Lewis is personable, flexible and quick to respond. He is very committed to serving the needs of his customer. He is knowledgeable and provides good advice in order to clarify or resolve questions, or challenges. I really enjoyed working with him. He has an excellent understanding of his client needs within the pharmaceutical/biotech industry. His extensive experience helps him to see candidates as a combined whole, considering their education and previous experience which can directly benefit client companies. He thinks outside of the box and looks beyond job descriptions, finding candidates that will excel in their careers and develop to their full potential, rewarding the hiring company with productive and highly motivated individuals.
