What our clients say
Working with Ed was delightful. He reached out to me about a position that was extremely relevant to me. This is unusual because in the past recruiters have approached me about anything whether or not it relates to my interest or experience. Ed was conscientious to notice what my interests were and what kind of work I would be open to. it was very easy to schedule our first call using his online calendar that he provided in the LinkedIn message. He was responsive to my text and email and I was able to talk to him on Fourth of July, when usually most people are unavailable. Our first conversation was extremely professional and enjoyable. I felt confident in his industry experience and was excited to hear about the role. Our relationship from start to finish, from he and I initiating contact to my receiving an offer and accepting, was an impressive six weeks. During the six weeks I had many steps to the recruitment process by the employer. Ed was available for me to prepare before and decompress after each one. After these multiple steps and an on-site visit, I was given an offer. Ed made himself available to me to discuss the nuances of all of those steps and offered safe advice throughout. It was a really efficient and pleasant experience working with Ed and I recommended him to anybody recruiting for and looking for work in the industry.
Medical Director
I cannot say enough positive words about Ed and my time working with him. He is extremely intelligent and very knowledgeable of the industry he represents. If you are even considering looking for a role or you are a company with a role to post, seek out Ed Canning first. I was in the job market a very brief time and that's due, in part, to Ed and how he takes pure ownership of his role. Highly Recommend!
Senior International Director of Quality and Regulatory
Ed was fantastic in helping me find a new opportunity. He was communicative, personable, and a fantastic liaison between myself and the company I was interviewing with. He always answered my questions promptly and kept me informed on the next steps and feedback. It was great to have Ed in my corner, and I would recommend him to anyone looking for a new role!
Senior Design Assurance Engineer
Ed was fantastic to work with on my recent job search! He was great at providing updates on a regular basis, even if it was just to say that there was no update. I appreciated this as waiting to hear about job can be difficult, especially after being laid off. During the offer process, he helped me figure out what was a realistic ask and how to best go about negotiating. I would absolutely work with Ed again on my next search.
Director, Regulatory Affairs
Ed was an immense help in securing my new position. He helped through each stage of the process and answered questions clearly and quickly. Thoroughly professional. I highly recommend using him to advance to your next level.
Senior Manager Regulatory Affairs Medical Device
I was fortunate enough to work with Ed on securing a new position. Ed went above and beyond with interview preparation, open communication, and follow-up. He's so easy to work with and genuinely cares about finding a position that fits both the candidate's and the employer's needs and wants. I highly recommend working with Ed!
