"Vector worked with us to help support a critical period of growth at AGC Biologics. They hired many critical hires over an 18 month period, across our sites in the US from site based roles to C-Suite. In parallel they supported the training of our Talent Acquisition teams, which resulted in eventually greater control of our own hiring, saving us money. Neil has been our customer single point of contact, since the relationship started, and has been very easy to work with from Day 1, with a high level of professionalism and work ethic, both are really hard to find in the search business. It is clear from the work he has done building a CDMO previously himself, he leverages this knowledge well for his customers. I would have no hesitation to use Vector again."
