The difference between CRO and CMO is that, whereas Contract Research Organisations provide research and development services throughout a clinical trial, Contract Manufacturing Organisations take the pre-formulated drug (which may have been developed by a CRO) and manufacture it on a larger scale. You can read about the differences in more detail in our blog titled CRO vs. CMO: What's the Difference and Why Does it Matter?

"Well done Debra and HRS"
Being exceptionally busy and with an urgent need to recruit, by coincidence or divine intervention and I'm not sure which, I was approached by Debra Fong of HRS to see if there was need for any recruitment by my company and if so could HRS be of service. Without wanting to waste time after a short phone call with Debra I acquiesced but knowing the skills in the advanced technologies from the ideal senior candidate were as rare as hen's teeth I sat back and started thinking of the wording I was going to have to use in the 'Situations vacant' section of the relevant specialist trade journals. Imagine my surprise when a couple of days later I had two CVs in my hands, one from a good candidate for the job, the other being quite exceptional. The latter not only experienced in everything I thought important but also it was quite clear the candidate would benefit greatly from joining us. A remarkable win-win situation.

I have worked with David Powell (and colleagues) for just over a year. Appreciate that the recruitment business is a very competitive market but have been extremely impressed leading up to and during my experience of doing business with David and the team. In particular, I acknowledge the commitment to personal service.

Ben Hamlin has been exceptionally helpful, conscientious and passionate about finding the right employee to fill our vacancy. He is dedicated and reliable and always follows up on any commitments made. Ben has taken all the leg work out of sifting through hundreds of CVs and all the candidates who were interviewed had relevant experience and were suitable for the role. I would be happy to recommend HRS to anyone looking to recruit new staff, they really have been great!

I have just recently used Hyper Recruitment Solutions, with Ricky Martin as our main account manager. So far the recruitment process has been up to my standards, he has picked up the understanding of our business very quickly, which makes recruiting so much easier on my part. Although this has been a very short-term business partnership so far.
