Candidates

"My first contact with AXESS was shortly after graduation when I was looking for a way to take that first notoriously difficult step into a CRA role. Through a contract data management position identified by AXESS I was able to rapidly consolidate my experience and develop sufficient industry knowledge to gain a position as a trainee CRA. 5 years later having worked my way up to a position with project, line and departmental management responsibilities, I felt it was time for a change of scene. I contacted a number of agencies, and amidst the mass of unsuitable positions (such as CRA roles in Northumberland) that came flooding in from various other companies, AXESS again came up with the goods. I am now happily ensconced in my new role, and have just experienced the other side of the recruitment equation. Having provided a recruitment brief for a talented CRA to several agencies, it was AXESS that managed to put forward the best candidate. For me the secret to their success is that they actually listen to what you say, and match their candidates to their roles thoughtfully. AXESS is the recruitment company I recommend to friends in the industry." CLINICAL STUDY MANAGER

"Over the past 4 years, AXESS have made two significant contributions to my career in clinical research. When I accepted voluntary redundancy after 10 years direct employment with a major pharma company, AXESS very quickly found me an indefinite contract position with another pharma company. I remember finishing one job on the Friday and starting the next on the Monday! Somewhat apprehensive about working for a 'contract company', I was pleasantly surprised by the standard of 'employee care' I received from AXESS. I always felt that I was treated as an individual and not as a 'resource' to be loaned out. AXESS successfully negotiated a significant salary increase for me 6 months into the new position, and were very flexible and helpful when it came to provision of the car and negotiating holiday etc to accommodate personal needs. Two years into this position, when I realised that my career opportunities were limited at the pharma company, AXESS were again very quick to be able to offer me a permanent position with another company where, two years later, I still work happily. This latest move has given me opportunity to see things from another perspective - that of a company seeking employees - and once again, AXESS have come up with the goods."
SENIOR CLINICAL PROJECT MANAGER

"In nearly ten years of collaboration with AXESS, as both an employee and a customer, the company has proved a truly professional and flexible ally. In my experience, AXESS is particularly skilled in listening to and understanding the needs of both the client and the secondee and matching them so as to create happy and successful placements."
CLINICAL OPERATIONS MANAGER

"Having decided on a change of career direction, I got in touch with AXESS to discuss my requirements. From the very first, I was impressed by the complete understanding of my needs shown by AXESS, and their care in arranging for me to meet only clients with an appropriate vacancy. Through AXESS I quickly found such a position with a European multinational pharma company. Thanks to the selection processes used by AXESS, this company and I matched each other very well, and having worked with them on a consultancy basis for a number of months, they offered me a place on their permanent staff. I have remained with the same company since that time, although my responsibilities and roles have changed beyond recognition."
SENIOR CRA

"AXESS understand the difficult transition that many doctors find moving from a clinical role into a medical marketing arena. Not only were they on hand with a variety of interesting potential employers but they were able to individualise the process so that your areas of particular interest and wishes are taken into account. This meant I was suitable to my employer, but just as importantly my employer was suitable for me. When leaving the NHS your first step should be your firmest and AXESS ensured that mine was."
MEDICAL ADVISER

" I have had interactions with AXESS as both, initially, an employee and, subsequently, as a customer. One key thing stands out about AXESS..... they understand the UK market. For example, if you discuss a role that may need to be filled, they know exactly the type of individual required. They have a first rate network and I have found them totally approachable and professional on matters big or small."
CLINICAL RESEARCH MANAGER

"I decided to change jobs, not because I was unhappy in my present position, but because I was not being paid market rate. I made it clear to all the agencies I approached that I was looking for something specific, and did not want to be called about every job on their books. Having outlined my requirements to AXESS they invited me to interview - this I was more than happy to do, I feel it makes the whole process more friendly, open and honest. After an initial interview the opportunities relevant to me were outlined. I happily accepted an interview, for what has turned out to be a really good and challenging role. I have to say, the team at AXESS were really good - what I valued most was the open approach they took, and the level of communication with me, which was just right. I applied to 10 or more agencies and AXESS are, in my opinion in the top 3. Thanks guys for all your hard work and for being so friendly and approachable throughout".
