He is not though a slick operator/fast talker type - he is a very sincere, open and reliable individual that you can trust. He is also the consumate professional - very organized and detail oriented, always follows up and promptly so. Working with him is nothing but a pleasure.” March 4, 2009

Colin Dittus - Contract Staffing - "I’d like to express my deepest gratitude in employing a man like Colin. He is truly a gifted speaker and he is very instructional in his calls as well. I always felt extremely prepared about the situations I was going into for each scenario I trained for—a lot of that excellent preparation came by way of Colin. He would give pointers regarding every aspect of my upcoming appointments that only added to my overall confidence. And as you know when a candidate is confident, only positive results shine through."
David G - Regulatory and Medical Information Professional

"Bill added his personal touch to this opportunity.  He had a working relationship with my new employer and found something in me that would make it a good fit for both of us.  I have had communication with at least 20 recruiters and none possessed this quality." E. Orozco

 "Scott was very personable and understood my needs. He clearly understands the business and is able to take advantage of his extensive network. Scott has been excellent, not only in this capacity, but also in keeping in touch through my career, allowing him a unique ability to know where I would best fit in the next steps of my career."   Christopher Bonny

 "Scott did a remarkable job in not only matching my skills and professional goals with the position and company but he was absolutely remarkable in guiding me right through the interview process, the offer and through any negotiations relating to my move. I was very impressed with his dedication and his attention to detail. I was also interviewing for other positions that I applied on my own and Scott was remarkable in providing me insight about the company and any background information if he knew folks within a company's HEOR department. I absolutely recommend him to my colleagues who are looking for the right HEOR opportunity." Kavita Gajria, HEOR

"Michael Litten's attentiveness and the fact that he treated me like I was his only client. I could always count on at least one call per week from Michael keeping me apprised. Michael does not waste people's time. He has a genuine approach and he is politely tenacious. Now that I have landed the job and spoken to our HR department, I want to share that they think Michael is one of the stronger colleagues in his field. They liked his style." R.Stefany

Allison understood our needs, presented high quality candidates, was extremely responsive and even pro-active and overall was an excellent partner in this process.   I would definitely work with her again as well as recommmend her very highly.  I have worked with recruiters previously and I can honestly say this is the best experience I have had to date.

"Adam helped me obtain the most important position in my professional career, Head, Benefit Risk Management at Novartis Vaccines and Diagnostics Inc. Adam always maintained a very warm and congenial disposition during the six weeks of negotiation and he kept me up-to-date of all conversations with the hiring manager and members of Human Resources. Even, when there were some minor obstacles in the process, Adam pulled me through and he gave me encouragement and optimism. I appreciated his counsel and experience. He inspired me throughout the process and I owe this achievement and significant milestone in my career to his dedication and hard work. I have known many recruiters, but Adam is clearly the best and he understands the position of the candidate – I always felt that I was his number one priority and this gave me great reassurance. Adam has a strong understanding of the pharmaceutical industry. I would recommend him to all hiring managers and candidates. I know that in my new position, I will work exclusively with him to build the department and recruit first class candidates. Adam has great warmth and he develops trust in an unparalleled manner."

Kevin Mednick -"It was a pleasure to work with Kevin and the entire staff at Klein Hersh. For many years I was reluctant to make use of recruiting services, but Kevin contacted me just as I was laid off from Thomson Reuters. As a result, Kevin's dedication and professionalism helped me to land my next position in less than one month after being laid off. I would say to anyone in this industry, if you get a phone call from Kevin, listen to him!"
Ron Ladley

“Michael Litten is an extraordinary recruiting professional and one of the few I have consistently remained connected with for about 2 years. He has established relationships with most of the major pharmaceutical companies and, at my request, connected with companies of interest outside of his client base. In one instance, he pursued a company I was interested in for almost a year with his persistence resulting in a new client and an initial interview. Michael is always prepared with detailed information about each opportunity presented. He is extremely organized and very reliable. I have referred candidates to Michael and will continue to do so in the future. I would recommend Michael without hesitation to anyone seeking an opportunity in the Pharmaceutical industry.”  Top qualities: Great Results , Expert , High Integrity

“Todd -  I wanted to thank you for being such a ”class act” during the entire process of securing this position. You have called when promised, done what you said you would and have been a great conduit between your client and me. You are by far the best recruiter I have worked.”

“Michael Litten has a deep understanding of the HEOR field, various positions requirements, and cultures within companies which allow him to identify candidates with both technical and soft-skills that lead to a great fit. As a candidate, Michael had a firm understanding of different roles and requirements beyond what was included in basic job descriptions and offered many insights for interviewing. On the recruiting side, Michael has identified well-qualified candidates across the spectrum of skills, and has placed several candidates within our growing group and other cross-functional teams who have made positive with great success on our business.”

"Dan - I just wanted to send a thank-you for your call and time today.  I was very impressed by your professionalism and dedication.  I can't tell you how many recruiters have called me since my unemployment and how disappointing many of them have been in their professionalism and follow-through.

I have worked with recruiters in previous years  and found them to be very professional.   Lately, I was beginning to think they were a "dying breed."  You have restored my faith!
 
I am looking forward to my interview tomorrow and will call you as soon as that is completed (I am thinking with good news!)."
Faye  

“I have worked with Michael Litten for more than three years on several searches. He is very knowledgeable of the healthcare industry, specifically with marketing and healthcare economics. Michael is always very honest and ethical with his candidates and the information he provides to his clients. I continue to go to Michael and recommend him whenever I have a business critical position I need to get filled.”

Colin Dittus - Contract Staffing - "Colin was able to fully understand my immediate needs for a CMC regulatory professional and was able to supply viable candidates quickly.  This was not the case for two other search firms I used prior to Klein Hersh.  He has an ability to provide viable candidates and offers great communication and follow up."
John C - Director of Regulatory Affairs

“Michael Litten makes himself a valuable asset to your organization. He really takes the time to understand your business challenges, and how they impact your open positions. Mike provides detailed communications every step of the hiring process, and sources great candidates.”

"I have worked with Allison for the past year. Allison helped me look for positions that would best fit my needs. She is very resourceful as well as personable. She listens to my needs and has constantly worked to improve on what she can offer me and other colleagues. Contrary to other professionals in her field, she is not 'in your face' pushing jobs that you have no interest in or are a poor fit for.   She introduces you with several opportunities, discusses them with you and then looks again for a good match. I recommend her not only for those looking for a new position, but also for those looking for hiring someone.” May 19, 2008

“A quick e-mail to thank you again for all your help in finding the right candidates for my team.  RJ is performing very well and I am confident that he will be an asset for my team and the company. You worked hard to provide me with quality candidates and I was impressed with the number of contacts that you had in the industry."

I am looking forward to working with you in the future!”

“Allison - I have dealt with numerous recruiters over the last few years and you have been the absolute best. No one has been even close.  I look forward to working with you in the future.”

President/CEO, TramaCure, Inc.
“I have worked with dozens of recruiters and by far the experience with Klein Hersh was the most seamless and successful.  They minimized the time I needed to spend describing my staffing needs by asking precise and targeted questions.  They made hundreds of contacts and narrowed the pool I needed to screen to a handful.  Klein Hersh facilitated the interview process and provided honest and balanced evaluations of the candidate’s fit with our organization.  From start to finish, it took only one month to hire a Product Manager with direct industry experience.  I highly recommend this team and would definitely work with Klein Hersh again for our future staffing needs.”
