What about Bob?

I'm a highly skilled & trained recruiter of Medical sales, Specialty Pharmaceutical sales and Professional Engineers in the Civil & Environmental engineering industry. With over 20 years of sales, marketing, networking and recruiting experience.

I started my career in sales with AFLAC as an independent agent in Americus, GA. I then joined Comcast and relocated to Charleston, SC to work in the marketing department. My sole responsibility was sales and public marketing. I also played a key role in the development of new specialized marketing teams. At which time I returned to Georgia and assisted Comcast in the launch of the Comcast @Home product. I helped to build a new marketing team as well as planned & coordinated events to promote the new service. I was then recruited away from Comcast by a cabling and integration firm in Atlanta. Within a year I established my own consultant firm. I successfully ran my firm for 6 years before being approached with a recruitment opportunity with MRI International. My focus with MRI International was in the recruitment of medical sales professionals. I very successfully recruited on the VP & district management level, as well as specialty representatives.

Some of my past placements & clients:

Johnson & Johnson, Abbott Vascular, AMO, Cardinal, Allergen, Teleflex (Pilling & Weck Division), Watson Pharmaceuticals, DaVita, Matria, CCS Medical, Zoll Medical, DeRoyal, CMI Media, and MEDRAD.

I was asked to join Hygun Group as our Sr. Networking Recruiter due to my networking and sourcing expertise. I continue to independently work with Hygun as a Federal Programs Sourcing Coordinator. Specializing in Geotechnical, Land Development, Transportation, Water/Wastewater and Water Resources.

I'm currently an contract recruiter & sourcer for the Medical Sales & Medical/ Pharmaceutical Marketing, Advertising, and Media industry.

I specialize in:

Medical Device sales
Medical Specialty sales
Medical Service sales
