“I first got to know Andy when he contacted me about a role at my current company. He is an expert in the life sciences sector and is very easy to work with. Andy differs from most other recruiters because he really got to know me and my reasons for looking for new opportunities. He also makes sure to keep you updated promptly on any progress. Andy has a wonderful character and makes a difficult interview process comfortable by his honest but positive feedback. He provided me with invaluable support during the application process and the subsequent offer, and certainly contributed to the successful outcome by his insightful coaching. Andy and I have continued to keep in touch since then to catch up periodically on my career.”

Principal GVP Consultant​

“Andy is a recruitment consultant of the highest calibre; clearly knowledgeable, particularly in the Medical Affairs space; always professional, approachable, ethical and extremely helpful. As a consultant pharmaceutical physician, I have had numerous interactions with Andrew over the past ten years; he has "come up with the goods" on many occasions, securing a number of interim Medical Affairs contracts for me, and also finding the right candidate to fulfil my requirements, when I have needed help with recruiting Medical Affairs professionals.”

“Simply outstanding.

The hard thing about writing a recommendation for Andy is doing so without using so many superlatives that it comes across as contrived.

I had the immense pleasure of working with Andy on my forthcoming position. From our first conversation and throughout the whole process I felt lucky to be dealing with someone so knowledgeable, diligent and enjoyable to work with. Thanks Andy!”

​Director of Medical and Regulatory Intelligence​

 

“Andy is one of the best recruiters I have worked with in the industry. He makes a sincere and thorough effort to understand the needs of both the client and candidate. He will only place opportunities your way that meet your needs and he looks to create new opportunities. Thoughtful, pro-active, engaging and successful - I would have no hesitation to recommend Andy as a recruiter.”

Medical Affairs Leader​

​

“I have recently had the great pleasure to work with Andy, and I have to say... he has been outstanding in the way he grasped my personality and aspirations, in the way he found the right opportunity for me, and in the way he supported me throughout the interview stages. I contacted him a couple of months ago because I felt he could help me progress towards my next career step within Medical Affairs and, truly, he exceeded my expectations with his enthusiastic, transparent and professional attitude. He was brilliant in providing a comprehensive description of the interview setting, in inspiring the most incisive and competent approach, and in communicating constructive feedbacks.

I would definitely recommend Andy to anyone who is looking for opportunities within the Pharmaceutical Industry, as his extensive knowledge of the environment and long-standing experience in consultancy make the perfect recruiter who is able to brilliantly liaise with both the candidate and client. Additionally, with his friendly and sparkling personality, it is always a pleasure to have a chat with him and to add a smiling face more to your day. I cannot forget how truly and cheerful his words were when I said, 'I cannot believe you found exactly the role I was looking for!', 'Of course, I did! Is it not what you asked for?'”

"Andy has been everything I have ever admired in recruiters I have previously worked with agency side. He has always done exactly what he says he's going to do. It's obvious he's briefed his candidates well and has always been open and honest.
 

I am grateful to Andy for the time he has taken to educate me about the technical aspects and requirements within the Pharma sector and suitability of candidates as this has been a new sector for me."

Pharma Talent Acquisition Leader
 

"I have known Andy since 2006 when he first placed me in the Pharma Industry. It was an extremely challenging time for me and his hard work, diligence and thoughtfulness really helped smooth things over. Since then I have been in contact with Andy for a number of different recruitment needs. He has not only provided excellent candidates, who are well vetted, and highly skilled, but he also has an incredible understanding of the pharma industry and especially medical affairs. I would happily take on board his opinion regarding the suitability of a candidate for a role and what the best way forward would be. His attitude towards his work and clients not only makes him an asset to Blue Pelican, but it makes him an asset to all managers looking to hire candidates.
I don't think I could give a higher recommendation to anyone. He is top quality in his field and would be happy to consult him at any time."

Medical Affairs Leader

"Andrew's approach to recruitment differs from my previous experiences in that he is honest, upfront and acts with a high degree of integrity. He is hugely personable, allowing him to get a good understanding of the needs of all parties involved. He was a great sounding board and source of advice during my career change last year and I would have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending Andrew!"
