He provided me full support with utmost professionalism and prompt responses. Thank you so much for helping me find my dream job, it was amazing working with you.

Jonathan Fisher

Senior VP - Commercial at Parhelia Biosciences

I honestly can't say enough good things about Adam and Mason Harding. Adam is thorough and dedicated more so than any recruiter that I have ever hired. He takes the time to understand your ideal candidate, your budget, geographic region, required skills, experience level, etc. to place the best candidate within your organization and even filters them before you make contact.His communication and drive are unmatched and he also has an extensive network that he leverages extremely well! When I joined Parhelia Bio we set out to fill several positions within the Sales and App Sci Teams and we initially though that we could handle this on our own. While we found several folks that would work OK in the respective roles, they weren't "must haves". Honestly, my only regret is that we didn't engage and trust Adam earlier. Once we beat our heads against the wall enough, we brought Adam on and he jumped into the drivers seat. Inside of 30 days I was sending offer letters to fantastic, Senior Level candidates that fit my budget! Adam has my business going forward and he's become a good friend as well. The best thing of all is that my hires are now exceeding my expectations for their roles!

Antonio Musumeci

Former Human Resources Director at Nanolive SAS

It is a true pleasure to work with Adam. He provided always many candidates in a short period of time and always in line with the request. Easy going and very professional approach. I would recommend Adam to any company who are looking for people in UK, Germany, US, France and Switzerland.

Romain Kaspereit

General Manager at METAFORA Biosystems

We reached out to Mason Harding in the context of an urgent need for our first senior position in the US, at the worst possible season (summer).

I highly recommend Mason Harding for the recruitment of experts in the global life science sector

Gweltas Odye

Chief of Staff at DNA Script

When Adam contacted me with a potential new role, I initially thought it was another unsuitable offer from another recruiter who had not pre-screened candidates and was going to press me for an interview. I quickly realised that Adam was a different kind of recruiter. He has a deep understanding of the technical and ecosystem side of biotech and gives the candidate an insight into the role, the company, the team, etc. Adam works for both the hiring company and the candidate with incredible transparency to highlight the expectations of a position. His aim is always to find the best fit and put the candidate's experience first, with lots of feedback, follow-up and advice. Adam is one of the best recruiters I have ever worked with, you will definitely want to work with him!

Bingqing Zhang

Sr Director, Assay & Product Development at Alamar Biosciences

Adam is one of the best recruiters I have worked with. Incredibly talented, communicates well, proactive, never misses a follow-up call and a great pleasure to work with. He has deep technical knowledge in the biotech field and also provides lots of insight into the role, the company, the team etc. His goal is always to find a best match between the candidate and the role instead of rushing people to make decisions. The entire interview/offer process went very smoothly, thanks to Adam's guidance and coordination. Wish Adam all the best in his role and I look forward continuing working with him.

Jérôme Dubos

Former VP Human Resources at DNA Script
