"Working with Genepool has been a fantastic experience. They helped us hire two high-caliber scientists for our team. Their dedication and deep understanding of our needs made the entire process seamless and efficient. We couldn't be happier with the results and highly recommend Genepool!"

"Erik is an incredible delight to work with and I will be working with him for years to come. From a client perspective, he does an incredible job understanding not only what the organization needs in the immediate term, but importantly what the organization does, their business, and how they make an impact in this world over the arc of time. From a talent sourcing perspective, this approach clearly makes him able to ensure he is finding the right fit for both the organization and the person. On the people side, Erik builds a sincere partnership in helping them grow and realize the career opportunities they dream of and aspire towards."

"Throughout my career, I have had the pleasure of working with dozens of very fine recruiters, both directly and in collaboration, across my work in industry, academia, clinical institutes and hospitals. I can affirm without any hesitation that Stephanie is the single best recruiter I have ever had the opportunity to work with! In addition to being immensely kind, professional, personable, authentic and supportive, Stephanie offers world-class service, experience, and an exceptional wealth of industry knowledge that is equal parts strategic and inspiring. 

Thanks to Stephanie’s superb guidance, over the course of about a month and a half I went from initial job inquiry to offer letter in hand, with the job title and salary level that I had desired for over a year. Throughout our time together, she got to know me very well: truly investing time and effort to understand more about me, my career path, my aspirations and my potential. I was astounded by her ability to quickly absorb and appreciate highly technical information pertaining to my scientific work—often asking incredibly insightful, nuanced questions! 

By any standard, Stephanie is thoroughly engaging and brilliant. She is a job-seeker’s dream companion and expert guide. I offer Stephanie my highest possible recommendation. Whether you are a job seeker or have a position to fill and need a renowned recruiter to help you, please look no further than Stephanie! "

"I have worked with many staffing agencies over the years, but my experience with Erik stands out above the rest. Erik is unique in that he truly understands what it takes to not only staff a small company, but the constraints one has in building a start-up. He works closely (but not overbearing) with the client to help them find the best talent while meeting the often tight budget and even tighter timeline. 

Erik understands the long term gain of working with a small company and the importance of creating a long standing relationship that is mutually beneficial for everyone. He is also extremely easygoing, fun to work with, and gets things done quickly which goes a really long way when you're drowning in your to-do list in those early start-up days! His background as a bench scientist combined with his vast national network are the cherries on top and why Erik is my recommended go-to person when building out an R&D team. "

"Kristen and Erik were great to work with - they really understood what type of candidate we were looking for and successfully ended a months-long search in a matter of weeks. Highly recommend!"

"Kristen and Erik were immensely helpful in our effort to recruit world-class talent for a position whose candidate pool was initially thought to be exceedingly small.  Their insight and understanding of the field, their ability to seamlessly network within the industry, their perseverance in making sure the right people were found, and their care for both client and candidate led to a surprising number of exceptionally well-qualified applicants for the position.  We have every intention of contracting the services of Genepool again should the need arise.”

"Stephanie is amazing! She gets to know you and your career goals in order to help you navigate the job market. Her access to quality openings along with her knowledge of the client companies help align candidates with the best fit positions. 

Stephanie provides guidance on setting realistic expectations, title navigation, opportunities for growth, and compensation negotiations. She helped me land a new exciting opportunity during the pandemic (this is my second job placement with Stephanie). I will call Stephanie again when looking for that next opportunity. "

"Over the course of the 5+ years that I have had the good fortune of working with Erik, he has consistently delivered and gone above and beyond. His commitment to understanding and knowing his clients and their cultures is what truly sets Erik and his team apart. He is so much more than an industry expert, he is also a true delight to work with. From his responsiveness to his fantastic sense of humor, Erik understands the importance of relationships and is the true benchmark in his field."  

"Stephanie has a great personality and has a great work ethic. She is very personable and a champion for the candidates seeking newer opportunities. Her communication is spot on and she puts all the cards on the table that helps you make your decision regarding your next career move. 

She keeps the candidates informed each step of the way and is realistic about setting an expectation. I highly recommend Stephanie to anyone seeking to explore new positions in clinical development or operations and also recommend her to folks looking to recruit and expand their teams."

"I was introduced to Erik by a colleague of mine who knew I was looking for a job in industry with the skill set Erik was seeking to fulfill. Since the first time I talked to Erik on the phone, I was struck by his professionalism, his capacity to match job seekers and job openings and to understand the needs and aspirations of job seekers. He was on my side all along the job hunt and helped me through the entire process of getting a position: coaching me about what the company’s culture and needs, training me with a rehearsal of the upcoming interviews as well as following up with the company in order to get their point of views. He was there all along and became my best advocate. During this process, he continued to send me more potential opportunities, getting my perspective in the event the position I was interviewing for would not work out. Having somebody like him of my side was more than beneficial: he made me be more confident as a job seeker and thanks to his hard work, greatly contributed in my success at getting the position I wanted. In conclusion, I recommend Erik as a recruiter based on his knowledge of the biotech/biopharma job market combined with his tremendous professionalism and support to job seekers. This makes him more than qualified to help not only candidates but also biotech companies to find THE right person. Erik is your guy."

"Having the perspective as a candidate he placed twice and as a Director who has hired talented scientists from Rob, my qualification to endorse him is multifaceted and backed by several years of experience. His knowledge of Biotech and keen ability to understand interpersonal queues empowers him to make the right match, while his ethical behavior demonstrates his desire to create lasting relationships. Rob placed me into a position where I can make a difference, which is just as important to him as it is to me. I highly recommend Rob to high quality employers looking to hire exceptional talent or to any candidate interested in professional representation."

"Stephanie was an absolute pleasure to work with from start to finish and was ultimately the key reason as to how I achieved an absolute dream job at this point in my career. Stephanie was flexible, listened and understood my needs and what I was looking for, and had my back every step of the way. Stephanie is realistic, truly has your needs at the forefront, and advocates for positions that are the right fit. I can't thank Steph enough!"

"From a candidate perspective, I found Rob to be thoughtful, engaged, frank, and honest. He was an excellent resource for information about companies and positions, and also ready with suggestions and assistance for interview preparation. Now more than four years later Rob’s connections and knowledge have grown, and with them has grown a reputation for helping companies find candidates they would otherwise have missed."

"Stephanie worked with me on one of my career searches. She is very detailed and she kept me posted on each interview with feedback. I have enjoyed working with her and I highly recommend her to be your next career change advisor."
