Veryan Testimonial

I’ve worked with Mason Alexander through Mary Joyce for over a year and have found the recruitment service offering exceptional. Mary’s MedTech background in the midwestern USA has served her well in translating that to the Irish MedTech hub, especially in Galway. The first step of understanding the requirements of the open positions through documentation and discussions sets the process up for success. Candidates are now screened more effectively by Mason Alexander, ensuring that when the top CVs come our way, we know that they will hit the mark.  The process is fast and efficient, which is key in being able to retain key talent when it comes across our desk and ensures the candidates don’t experience delays in selection and feedback.  Mason Alexander has supported candidate selection and hiring from Technician to Director level across R&D, Reg Affairs, Design Assurance, Quality Assurance, and more recently Manufacturing and Finance.
