“Ken Schmitt is a good listener, understanding the specific requirements and attributes that the company is seeking in a future employee. Ken asks the right questions to get an accurate picture of the right type of person for the job; questions that I would not have thought of. He processes the information well and, in his search, he reaches out to people who are not actively seeking new employment. This is possible because he knows a broad network of people, beyond the normal radar screen. Ken understands the specific needs of the bioscience industry well and he only sends candidates to us who specifically match our requirements”
