    Inspiring Success Stories from Our Satisfied Clients

    I had the pleasure to work with Demba as an external partner for over 6 years and he was my line manager for the 2 years spent at Stamford Consulting. He teached me how to run the business as a Recruiter Consultant in Life Science which was a very interesting experience. I appreciate his open leadership style, how to look into the business from different perspectives and how to be successful being a Consultant and work with clients. He is one of the best Networker that I ever met, purely by his personality and Life Science know-how, I was able to learn out of him. His passion for his work can be addictive and he is a reliable, honest and open person.
    Christophe Aline
    Senior Talent Acquisition Manager at Bayer
    I had the opportunity to meet Demba while job hunting in Switzerland. Having dealt with various recruiters in the past, one thing that stood out was his professionalism and relationship management skills. Demba and his team promptly communicated new opportunities, facilitated the recruitment process and sought to find win-win solutions between employer and contractor. From the 3 pharma roles proposed, he secured me 2 interviews with the hiring managers which led to 2 offers being made; proof of his ability to understand the customer's needs and find the right fit in a timely manner. If you are seeking for an extroverted, pharma focused, long-term minded recruiter with a win-win mentality and a passion for football, I would recommend you give Demba a chance.
