Recommendations for Aline

Steve Young, Ph.D SVP of Technology and Quantitative Biology at Arcus Biosciences

"I worked with Aline to recruit two technically specialized executive positions. These were pivotal hires to assume overarching strategic and operational responsibility for two critically important departments (Lead Discovery and Translational Sciences) which are both expanding rapidly. Aline was systematic, professional, and highly effective throughout the recruiting process. She studied the recruitment brief and asked a number of well-considered questions about the role, the company and the culture. Shortly thereafter we were able to review a number of high caliber resumes and provided detailed feedback which was used to refine the search. Within three months we had selected and hired industry leading scientists for both positions. Aline was instrumental in shepherding the candidates through the final stages of recruitment and proved both effective in her facilitation and responsive in her communication. Four months later both successful candidates are established members of our research team and invaluable scientific leaders. I highly recommend Aline and would be very happy to work with her again."

“I have worked with Aline several times, both to evaluate and/or accept career opportunities for myself and to fill positions. She has always been extremely effective and a pleasure to work with. Aline has great contacts and a wide network. She makes an effort to learn exactly what people on both ends are looking for and is very good at making the ideal match. She remains calm and responsive throughout what can be a stressful process. She is knowledgeable, pragmatic, gets things done without being overly aggressive and I know I can trust her advice.”

“Aline is a dedicated recruiter who approaches her job with the utmost of professionalism. I've had the pleasure of being placed by Aline, and she has also placed several protégés. In my experience, it was much more important to Aline that she found the right opportunity for both employer and colleague than to simply "fill a slot". I would give her my highest recommendation.”

Robert Schaub, Ph.D. Enumeral Biomedicine, NKT Therapeutics

“I have had an opportunity to work with Aline as she helped several of my colleagues and former employees seeking employment. Aline is highly professional in working with her clients, focused on the needs of her clients and very focused on assuring that she finds the ideal person to fill positions. She is very responsive and it has always been a pleasure to work with her.”

Heather Blanchette, PhD. Director, DMPK at Nimbus Therapeutics

Maria Beconi, Ph.D., CSO Retrophin Pharmaceuticals

“I worked with Aline in two different organizations, most recently at Retrophin, where she placed three Senior Scientists/Directors. Aline is a dedicated professional who takes the time to understand the customer needs and is able to find talented scientists. She has good follow through, and is a pleasure to work with. I would not hesitate to recommend Aline.”

Recommendations for Joellen Lane

Pramod Sarpotdar, Ph.D., Senior Director at Allergan

”Joellen is a thorough professional who makes sure to first understand our expectations for the open position and then works hard to provide excellent support. Over the last 15 years I have found her to consistently provide high quality input which at times has required creativity and out-of-the-box thinking.”

Marco Rosa, MA, Human Resouce, Exec Consultant, Search (Heritage Partners)

“Joellen has been rare "mainstay" of our scientific search network in formulation and analytical chemistry seeking candidate’s country wide. Her attention to detail and follow through provided MAP with very good scientists for the last 5 years. She has been an exceptional resource and we have thanked her over a number of years.”

Dr. Shikha Barman, Ph.D., V.P. Pharmaceutical Development Follica, Inc.

“I am very pleased to provide a recommendation for Joellen. I have known Joellen for quite a few years, as a scientific recruiter in the pharmaceutical industry. She is an expert as a recruiter, spending the time to know the client as well as the candidate. As a result, she represents both parties with fairness, honesty and good value. She is personable, approachable and warm, making communications flow with ease. She is very well suited to her profession, in this regard. She is very well connected with the pharmaceutical industry and maintains an extensive database of clients and candidates, an attribute that is key as a recruiter. I wish her all the best and all the success she deserves.”

Robert Chao, Ph.D., Senior Consultant at Solid Pre-Formulation Sciences Consultant

“It is my pleasure to endorse Ms. Joellen Lane for her enthusiasm and support to many biotechnical professionals. In my opinion, Joellen is one of the best Executive Recruiters working in the field. She contacted me several years ago, regarding a position which did not match my background and interest completely; but she went to discuss with both sides and eventually established a new position. We have kept in contact since then. Joellen is the one and only person I would have trusted with my career, because of her communication skills, strong attention to detail, unparalleled work ethic.”

Allena Ji, Ph.D., Lab Director, Clinical Mass Spectrometry, Clinical Laboratory Sciences

“Joellen Lane is a very smart and talented recruiter. She found my credentials through her vast network. She helped me to move to the position that I have dreamed of for many years. My new position requires board certification, drug development experience with mass spectrometry related lab management experience. The candidates usually have either pharmaceutical industry experience or hospital experience with board certification, but they are hard to have both. I had the qualifications but it is hard to find this type of position in the market. I really appreciate Joellen’s talent search who brought me to my ideal job position. Joellen is an honest and serious person. She provided me tips to prepare for the job interview and followed up with my feelings after the job interview. After I started my new dream position, Joellen still cared about me and asked if the new position fit me well. I strongly recommend my friends to work with Joellen for their future professional career adventure.”
