He has been with the company for a little over a year after honing his recruiting skills elsewhere. He lives and works in Raleigh, North Carolina, with his adult pug Zachary (aka his Executive Assistant) who is usually sleeping and snoring next to him as he works.

Common Misconceptions About Life Sciences Consulting Jobs
By Kelsey Fish, Orbis Clinical Chief of Staff Our Orbis Clinical team members speak with life science professionals all day, every day. As Orbis Clinical places both consultants and permanent talent, our recruiters take a consultative approach to ensure we understand the career objectives of the candidates we are supporting. When we speak with those who have only ever worked in permanent roles about consulting opportunities, we hear quite a few common misconceptions: “I can’t take a consulting role, I need benefits.” This is the most common barrier to consulting we hear. Many people are hesitant to take consulting positions for fear of
Why consistent communication with your recruiter while on assignment is important
By Jacob Cassinelli A common misconception of a recruiter’s role is that the relationship ends once a candidate has been placed. While it is common for people to be placed in a role and never speak to their recruiter again, at Orbis Clinical we’ve only just begun! We pride ourselves on continuing the relationships with each contractor to make sure the placement is beneficial for them as well as their new employer. Support beyond the job offer The goal of my first interaction with a potential contractor is to build a lasting relationship and become a resource to them throughout their career journey.

Life Science Recruitment Approach: Listen, Consult, Partner
By Chris Agresti Finding Purpose As a recruiter, I started my career in locum tenens, calling into Emergency Rooms at 5:00 a.m. trying to directly recruit doctors. I was pleasantly surprised when I made cold calls, and candidates would actually answer their telephone! They would not just answer, these folks wanted to talk. It wasn’t long until I realized pharmaceutical recruitment was where I wanted to work. I loved the idea of working with the brightest of the bright. One minute I could speak with a Regulatory Ad/Promo professional responsible for a recent ad I saw on TV. A few calls later I
Virtual Interviews, from the hiring manager’s perspective
By Paul Canelas The pandemic has affected us all in many ways, from our shopping routines to our entertainment options, but it has also impacted how we work and search for new career opportunities.

In today's staffing world, a large majority of professionals get hired without meeting a single manager or coworker, making the online interview critical. In this exercise, I reached out to hiring managers and asked them
Stoicism and a Grateful Mindset in Weathering the Ups and Downs of Recruiting
By Noah Dresser Sto·i·cism (noun): not allowing oneself to be controlled by the desire for pleasure or by the fear of pain “Before enlightenment, chop wood, carry water.

So now we have “Before placement, source candidates, call candidates. After placement, source candidates, call candidates.” I know that this seems like a massive oversimplification, but I think it hits close
