Hear From Our Partners

Heidi Kingdon Jones

Chief Business Officer at DefiniGEN

Adam has been superb at finding, screening and introducing great candidates for the roles we needed to fill at DefiniGEN. He works closely with both the client and candidate supporting them through the recruitment process. Adam is a consummate professional and I have no hesitation in recommending Mason Harding search consultancy.

Mike DeMayo

SVP Sales & Support at Ansa Biotechnologies

I have worked with Adam for many years and he has consistently produced excellent candidates. Adam always devotes time and effort to fully understand the role and the real needs of the company he is supporting. I highly recommend him when you are building a high performing commercial team.

Mike Stadnisky

Managing Director at Thiessen Capital

Adam is a force of nature, an incredible search partner, and an enthusiastic builder in life science. He receives my highest recommendation. I worked with Adam to recruit and build 2 high performance teams which both were exited to large public companies in life science tools.

Marc Centrella

Chief Executive Officer at Cellular Engineering Technologies

The service from Mason Harding has been outstanding and I have been able to build out my initial leadership team with Adam's help. I view him as an extension of my core team and a valued partner in my company's growth.

Ania Wronski

Director of Technical Support at Ansa Biotechnologies:

Adam represented me for my current position. I greatly appreciated his communicative nature, especially since there was a lot of back and forth and as a job seeker, it can be nerve racking to not know what is happening or causing delays. Adam was very upfront with information and helped advocate for me as the best candidate. Given Adam's experience in the life science market, I believe his advocacy was one of the many factors that helped me get the role.

Brian Caudill

Former VP Sales & Marketing EMEA at Integrated DNA Technologies

In 2019 and 2020, I first worked with Adam on a key project to bring on a new team in the NGS space. He was instrumental in helping us make seven fantastic hires. We wound up with a phenomenal team of sellers and application scientists. During the project, Adam was extremely dedicated. He was always available for questions, support, and feedback. He completely earned our trust. I’m also happy to say that the job candidates he brought to us all felt the same way. I really enjoyed working with Adam, and I hope to do so again!

Jim Dietz

Zenas George

Chief Scientific Officer at Cellular Engineering Technologies

I had a fantastic experience working with Adam Butler of Mason Harding (a specialist search & selection consultancy dedicated to the Life Science sector) during my recent job search in the life science field. From our initial conversation to when I accepted the offer, I was impressed with how quickly he moved the process forward. His deep understanding of the life sciences industry and the technical requirements of the position I applied for made me feel confident that I was being represented by someone who truly understands the complexities of this field. Beyond his domain of expertise, Adam was a true professional throughout the entire recruitment process. He communicated clearly, kept me updated at every stage, and was always available to address any questions I had. His friendly and personable nature made the entire experience much more enjoyable, turning what could often be a stressful process into a smooth and positive journey. I highly recommend Adam and the entire Mason Harding team to anyone in the life sciences sector looking for a fast, knowledgeable, and professional recruiter.

Richa Gupta

Strategic Account Executive at Ansa Biotechnologies

Adam is one of the best Executive Recruiters that I have worked with. He had deep knowledge in the Synthetic Biology sector and quickly understood what I was looking for. 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). Beyond their thorough understanding of our market, they showed great reactivity which helped us recruit a top profile in less than a month. I highly recommend Mason Harding for the recruitment of experts in the global life science sector

Barrett Lee

Head of APAC Commercial at 908 Devices

Adam is a very dedicated and knowledgeable professional! I have worked with numerous recruiters but Adam really stands out with the constant updates along the way to ensure the candidate is fully updated and engaged.

Ignacio Willats

Co-Founder at Mytos

Adam came heavily recommended by a business advisor, and he has not disappointed. Best recruiter in the life sciences space I have worked with!

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

It is a true pleasure to work with Adam, who understands our needs and is always able to find top quality candidates to fill our positions. Our team at DNA Script has developed a strong relationship with Adam, based on trust and mutual understanding. I would recommend him without hesitation.

If you're looking for an excellent ambassador for you or your business then do contact Adam, I'll certainly be recommending him to all my connections.
