I really enjoyed working with Lloyd Hines on securing my next opportunity with Bentec Medical. Lloyd went above and beyond with him keeping me informed throughout the interview process. I appreciate all the hard work he put in to get me to the offer letter. Thank you Lloyd.

Matt Goldrick is not your typical recruiter - you actually look forward to answering his calls!

Looking to forward a career direction from Global Health back into Pharma was no small feat. However, having Matt on my side, who spent time to get to know me and my capabilities, meant it was filled with many opportunities, conversations and support.

I had strong values and criteria for who and where I wanted to be next and Matt supported me with those needs - providing me with breadth of options and realistic discussions on whether opportunities were right for what I wanted.

He partnered with me and stood by choices, in a job market that sometimes felt like a microcosm of the Hunger Games.

He presented every opportunity fairly, and with comprehensive information and insight.

I highly recommend Matt and Carrot Pharma for your healthcare research career goals!

Worked with an amazing recruiter called Lucy Eyre. Despite being a recruitment agency that mainly gets senior positions she called to get in touch about an entry role. Guided me through the whole process and encouraged me and gave me tips.

Update: Chris reconnected, and this time, we were successful in securing my next role. Chris has been both supportive and engaged every step of the way. If you are in Healthcare Market Research, please hit up Chris.

I had the pleasure of working with Chris Newall from Carrot Recruitment during my job search in healthcare market research. Although I ultimately accepted a direct offer from an employer, I can’t recommend Chris highly enough. From the very beginning, he took the time to understand my skills, career goals, and preferences, connecting me with a range of exciting opportunities. His extensive network and industry knowledge opened doors to multiple interviews that I wouldn’t have found on my own.

Beyond just presenting job options, Chris provided invaluable guidance, insightful advice, and a genuinely personal approach that made the entire process seamless. His professionalism, dedication, and support set him apart, and I’m truly grateful for his help. If you're looking for a recruiter who goes above and beyond, Chris is the person to have in your corner!

She was incredibly helpful every step along the way and was always happy to help out and answer any questions. She always kept me in the loop and let me know about the next steps, making me feel at ease during the whole process. Thank you again, Lucy, really appreciate it!
