"Kristen's in-depth knowledge of the biotech landscape is second to none. She has a keen eye for talent and a knack for identifying individuals who will thrive in our fast-paced environment. Her ability to match candidates with the right opportunities has been invaluable to our organization. I highly recommend Kristen to any company seeking a top-tier recruiter."

"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."

"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!"

"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 am incredibly grateful for the tremendous support Kristen has provided me during my recent job search. Working with Kristen has been a delight from beginning to end.

Kristen's dedication to ensuring that job opportunities aligned perfectly with my interests and career aspirations was truly commendable. She took the time to thoroughly understand what I was looking for in my next role and presented me with an opportunity that matched those criteria.

Her meticulous preparation for each interview was invaluable. Kristen provided me with detailed insights into the company culture, the interviewers' backgrounds, and the specific skills they were seeking. Thanks to her guidance, I felt significantly more confident and well-prepared going into each interview. 

What sets Kristen apart is her genuine care for her clients. Throughout the entire process, she maintained constant communication, providing updates and feedback promptly. Her professionalism and empathy made a potentially stressful job search much smoother and more manageable.

I cannot recommend Kristen highly enough as a recruiter who not only excels in her field but also genuinely cares about the people she works with. It has been an absolute pleasure collaborating with her, and I am incredibly thankful for her support."

"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. "

"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. "

"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.” 

"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."

"Kristen is one of the most motivated and thoughtful people I've ever worked with. There is no doubt in my mind that I wouldn't have my current role without her mentorship and guidance, and I could feel after our first interaction that I actually had a chance with her in my corner. She expertly showed me where I could improve and what I was missing and got me further in the interview process in one week than I had gotten myself in months of job searching. The amount effort Kristen put into helping me land my dream job went above and beyond what is necessary and felt deeply personal to me and my goals. She seems to take this attitude towards every aspect of her life and any team would greatly benefit from having someone like her. "

"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."

"Kristen was the first recruiter I've ever worked with, and she did an amazing job! She was extremely thorough throughout the entire process of job applications, from informing me of open positions for what I was looking for, giving me all the information I would ever need on the company and the employees I would be interviewing, as well as answering any questions I had about this field in general.

I never felt unprepared going into any preliminary and on-site interviews, and Kristen gave me a lot of insight into this field that I didn't know about previously. It was always a pleasure having conversations with her, and I would 1000% recommend her to anyone who's on the search for new opportunities in the biotech/research/pharma field, and will definitely be reaching out for her help if I'm ever looking for one in the future!"

"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."

"I first decided to enter the biotech industry when the pandemic first started. All the academic research institutions and companies in the biotech industry had just paused their hiring. Despite this tough job market, Kristen had faith in me and worked with me to get me my first industry job. When I was considering new career opportunities, Kristen was also right there to encourage and help me. I have truly never worked with a recruiter as amazing as Kristen: she was always ready to help, whether it was checking in with me, helping me thoroughly prepare and stay on top of my application process, or representing me in the best possible way to companies. Whenever I spoke with her, I knew that she was not just someone who was filling out forms and checking boxes but rather someone who listened and found the best in me. Moreover, she was looking for positions that not only fit my scientific and technical background, but also had an amazing and supportive company culture. I grew so much as a scientist and team member in amazingly supportive work environments and I absolutely would not have been able to find these companies without Kristen's help. Kristen is a search consultant that you can truly trust to help you find amazing career fits and advocate for you throughout the entire process."
