Need elite results?

Then it’s simple: you need elite headhunting strategies.

Are you sourcing elite talent, or perhaps you are the elite talent?

Hi! I’m Ruxandra Ponova.

With over 15 years of experience in helping 100s of clients, I now solely specialise in supporting Pharma, Biotech & MedTech Executives and CEOs to connect with and hire the top 1% talent across Market Access, Reimbursement & HEOR globally.

But you must know: I'm not your typical recruiter.

I don’t run a big agency, and I only take on a small number of clients at a time, so I can always provide a highly personalised service.

This is what a hyper-personalised service means for you...

  • A Niche Powerhouse

    I hone in on my skill: connecting with Market Access professionals across the Life Sciences sector globally.

    This passion for my work will always drive me to go above and beyond to achieve an elite recruitment process for you.

    • I will become your recruitment and brand ambassador.

    • I will successfully advocate for you while facing competition.

    • I will be your powerful niche personal representative in this highly competitive market.

    Collaboration

    • The power of our teamwork will be unparalleled.

    • You’ll show me what your targets look like and I’ll guide and support you to get there.


    Yet, I’ll also challenge you every step to ensure you get what you truly NEED, not what you THINK you need.

    Responsiveness

    You’ll get support and direct access to one person: me - Ruxandra.

    And because I only work on any three projects at any given time, I can adapt quickly to any changing circumstances and provide you with peace of mind.

    Transparency

    I always have your best interests at heart.

    • You will know when I can help and when I cannot help and why.

    • You will know an almost exact timeframe of how the process will evolve.

    • You will be informed of any obstacles and offered support and suggestions.

    • You will know where you stand at every step of the way.

    And I will expect the same from you as my partner in this process.

    Enjoy Guaranteed Results

    • I’m not a volume headhunter who’s looking to fill every role.

    • I take care in creating the best opportunities for each party.

    I have a 100% close rate on retained and exclusive assignments.

    The fact that all but one of my clients have remained with their new employers for more than 5+ years proves that.

The Global Market Access Community

I’ve collaborated with some of the most progressive and exciting companies in MedTech, Biotech and Pharma.

Not to mention Niche Healthcare Consultancies — so imagine the network and breadth of exposure I can tap into for you!
