Why Work With Me?

I am not going to ask you to visualise your inner career compass or align your professional chakras. What I offer is strategic consultancy and mentoring — the kind of direct, actionable guidance that comes from 16 years on the inside of talent acquisition.

That said, I do this with empathy and a genuine understanding of the full spectrum of thoughts and emotions that accompany a job search or career transition. I have seen enough candidates in enough situations to know that the professional is always personal.

What sets this apart from generic career advice? I share the insider pharma job market knowledge that recruiters won't tell you, hiring managers can't tell you, and LinkedIn influencers don't know.

Strategic positioning. Pharma market intelligence. Tactical execution. Nicht kleckern, sondern klotzen.

8 years at Bayer AG — one of the world's leading pharmaceutical companies
5 years at two Global Top 5 CROs — ICON and Syneos Health
Expertise spanning Clinical Operations, Regulatory Affairs, Medical Affairs, PV, QA, Market Access, R&D, Data Science, Manufacturing & Commercial
Daily experience with ATS systems (Eightfold, Workday) — I know how to get your CV into the hands of the hiring managers
Multilingual: German · English · Polish

Document services for every career stage.

A strong CV has to win twice: first, it must pass the keyword matching of the ATS. Then it must convince the recruiter who first scans it in a few seconds before she or he decides to read some more. Most CVs fail at one or both. I fix that from both sides of the desk.

Your own recruiter.
Working exclusively for you.

You know how to do your job. But finding the next role? That is a different skill set entirely. The pharmaceutical job market in the DACH region has become a minefield. Recruiters reject strong candidates in seconds because their CV or LinkedIn profile does not show their true value. Hiring managers make shortlist decisions in seconds. And most of the interesting roles — particularly at senior level — are never posted publicly at all.

You have probably heard of this under the name 'reverse recruitment'. The concept is straightforward: you hire a recruiter to work for you. Not your future employer — you. I use the same sourcing techniques, market intelligence, and insider knowledge that companies pay recruiters thousands of euros to deploy on their behalf. The difference: this time, you are the client.

Das ist kein Geheimnis. Das ist Berufserfahrung. (That is not a secret. That is professional experience.)

This is not career coaching with motivational platitudes. This is not a CV writing service that sends you a template and wishes you luck. This is a managed job search campaign, run by a recruiter with pharmaceutical sector expertise.
