Adrian has been instrumental in conducting targeted searches for many members of our Commercial Leadership Team as we were building out our Australian operations. He possesses a deep understanding of our culture, making him an invaluable asset during this process.
General Manager ANZ , Biopharmaceuticals -
Adrian’s professionalism was exceptional and I genuinely felt like he had both my and the company’s best interest in mind - a quality I haven’t seen often in my experience with recruiters over the years. I actually enjoyed my recruitment experience with Adrian and HPG and look forward to strengthening this partnership as I engage them to build my team in my role.
Senior Commercial Director , Global Pharmaceutical Company -
Adrian and his team have always taken time to truly understand the culture so that they can be the best extension of the organisation to the external market. He has always taken a strategic approach to sourcing candidates that will best fit with the current and future needs of your organisation. I have most valued Adrian’s approach to sourcing a variety of roles in the market as he and his team not only have a breadth of expertise across many business functions but have also a demonstrated capability to engage individuals on roles/ functions that may not currently exist in the marketplace.
Country Medical Director , Global Pharmaceutical Company -
Adrian has been a critical business partner for our organisation for the last 11 years. I have personally worked closely with Adrian since 2012 and could not recommend Healthcare Professionals Group more highly as a supplier of choice.I have engaged Adrian on all roles across our business, and his team consistently provide a short-list of highly capable talent aligned to our needs technically, and culturally. Importantly, Adrian has taken the time to understand our business and the different hiring manager needs, and provide a service offering that aligns to their expectations.
