Why do Pharmaceutical companies use the Campo Group?
Many reasons: confidentiality, to save time, professional expertise
- Confidentiality: The best jobs are almost always worked through a search firm. Clients want us to “cast a net” to see who we can find in the market that may be better than the short list of internal candidates for each position. Also, at times someone may be on the way out of an organization and the organization does not want those outside the company to know about the alignment of strategic talent.
- To save time: Unlike posting to a job board, using the newspaper, and job fairs, clients use the Campo Group for a “sniper” approach. They call us because they know that we know who the best talent is and where to find it.
- Professional Expertise: Recruiters in our firm came out of the Pharmaceutical industry. We have actually worked in the positions for which we recruit. Additionally, we have ongoing education to keep abreast of the latest industry trends.
- Results: Our track record of not only finding that “needle in the haystack” but getting candidates to make a “leap of faith” to join a different organization and to stay with that organization for the long term is almost twice that of the national average.
Why don’t recruiters call me back?
They are not currently working on a position suitable to your strengths, location preferences, etc. Successful Pharmaceutical Recruiters must be driven, focused and extremely organized. We are constantly working on 60-100 different positions with different clients all at the same time. If we are working on a position in Boston and are not working on a position in Florida don’t expect a recruiter to call you and say, “Hello. What is going on in Florida?” Trust that if you are believed to be qualified for a position that we are working on we will contact you. Please don’t take it personal and know that when it is your turn you will get the utmost professional service.
