Ruth Frazer
President

  • I've known Ruth for many years and she is truly an elite talent acquisition professional. There are very few people I trust to find exceptional talent and build world class teams but Ruth certainly fits the bill. She is easily one of the best, most innovative recruiters I have worked with during the last decade. She is highly driven and uses very innovative approaches for finding superb candidates. She is a "world class" talent."

    Kevin Krenitsky, M.D. Past Chief Operating Officer - Foundation Medicine
  • Ruth is the best Executive Recruiter I have met. Ruth appreciates the situation her clients are in, she follows up, she is in touch, she seemingly provides un-divided attention when she places people. Ruth is well connected. I have given Ruth's contact to several of my closest friends.

    Eric Mangiardi CEO, Q3 Medical Devices
  • “Ruth is incredibly insightful in understanding the needs of her clients and the fit with potential candidates. Because of her in depth knowledge of life sciences she can quickly determine the right fit between candidate and company. She also has a broad range of contacts to tap into that has been built as a result of the very positive relationships she has developed over an extended period of time.”

    Todd Cooper President & CEO, Presbia, Medical Devices
  • "During my search for a senior level commercial position, I had the opportunity to work with Ruth. Of all the recruiters I worked with during my search, she was one of the most professional and customer focused (company and candidate) that I worked with. She consistently demonstrated a strong work ethic, persistent follow-up, and a solutions oriented attitude. Ruth has a strong knowledge of the market place and recruiting techniques that bring value to those she works with. She was a true partner. I highly recommend Ruth if you are the hiring company or a candidate."

Her knowledge of the life science industry is incredible, and she consistently over delivers and shatters expectations in all that she does.

    Renee Hart President & Chief Business Officer - LumaCyte
  • I worked with results-oriented Ruth Frazer during stormy years of healthcare reform. She has a superior placement record for senior executives in the Global Healthcare and Pharmaceutical industries. Ruth can find true change leaders. Ruth delivers fast results to companies in need of the perfect leader to fill urgent needs. Ruth's abilities to evaluate candidates for senior leadership skills and her knack to carefully connect intangible traits, matching a company's character and climate to the candidates experience and capacity, are exceptional! She makes the chemical connection, with demonstrated results!

    Marydawn Meeder Vice President, IT, Molecular Diagnostics
  • Ruth has consistently found and introduced great talent for me in the US. She successfully convinced candidates of the possibilities of working for an up and coming British company coming to the US and helped manage them into the business. Ruth is frank and straightforward and a good judge of character. I have no hesitation in recommending Ruth.

    David Bennett Vice President Commercial Operations - Eagle Genomics
  • I had the pleasure of partnering with Ruth when I worked at PDI and Quintiles to help fill some of our senior level positions. Ruth is a pleasure to work with and is extremely knowledgeable in her field of pharmaceutical recruitment. She is easy to work with, responsive and understands the market dynamics and challenges of finding top quality candidates in a competitive market. She quickly establishes a high level of credibility with her customers, is extremely flexible and dedicated to meeting her customer's needs. She was always able to support and supplement our hiring needs successfully

    Karen Dimsey Executive Director, Head of Talent Acquisition - Insmed
  • Ruth works tirelessly for her clients. She brings energy, focus and drive. She ensures that alignment between the position and the candidate is very strong and that the candidate is adequately prepared and positioned for success. She gets the details and sees the big picture. I highly endorse Ruth as a recruiter.

  • "I had the pleasure recently to meet and work with Ruth on a potential role she was recruiting for. Her vast and in depth experience as a Senior Executive Recruiter made the process seamless. She took the time to learn about me as an individual and as a candidate along with understanding my career story to best align me with the position; her attention to detail was exceptional. She brought the human aspect to the process in a way that I felt we had known each other for years and always ensured to check in regularly with motivation and encouragement prior to my meetings. I unreservedly recommend Ruth as a professional partner to your recruitment requirements”

    Igor Bakracevski Vice President Global Manufacturing - Gentell Inc formely Integra Life Sciences
  • I have worked with Ruth on both sides of her process; she has recruited and placed me, and I have subsequently hired her to find outstanding candidates for us. Ruth is diligent, and thoughtful. She employs a rigorous methodology that results in candidates getting themselves organized around the potential opportunity; subsequently, they know if it is the right role for them, and the hiring organization can get a good sense of who they are considering. I would call Ruth as soon as I knew my staffing goals in order to get just the right candidates through the door.

    Michael Naimoli Vice President Operations & Professional Services, Veeva Systems
  • Based on her extensive experience, Ruth provides outstanding guidance that is critical for applicants. She provides guidance to get the candidate on the slate and selected as the person offered the role. Highly recommend working with Ruth.

    Richard Nettles M.D. Chief Scientific Officer, Johnson & Johnson Innovative Medicine
  • Ruth has been my recruitment partner since 2018 and has been a key contributor to the success and evolution of Cerba Research, placing key hires in the global commercial organisation and wider business, increasingly in senior-level and highly specialist roles. Without hesitation, I can say that Ruth is the #1 executive search partner in the industry. Her work-ethic, insight and genuine humanity is without parallel. Ruth has dedicated her entire career to this difficult field and her expertise shows with every step of the process. Within a short amount of time together we were simpatico with Ruth able to act as a trusted agent of both myself and Cerba. Ruth's interview notes are at the point of subverting the need for extensive interviews, such is the depth, quality and accuracy of the assessment. I challenge anyone to find better profiles and better prepared candidates. The results speak for themselves. Ruth has continually placed the majority of my key hires and is responsible for the top talent in the business. Regardless of the result, I am sure every candidate engaged by Ruth would come away with a positive impression, made by a true professional with a passion for transforming healthcare through matching talent to where it's needed. Ruth is far too humble to acknowledge her prodigious talent so allow me to blow the trumpet for her and Pharmacruiting!

    Daniel Tanner Chief Commercial Officer, Cerba Research
  • Ruth is an unrelenting force in Executive recruiting. Her strong work ethic and vast network provided very quick and robust search results. She's in tune with her clients' strengths and matches them to the company's needs. I was very impressed with her industry knowledge and felt that she was looking to put me in the best job for me, not just a job. I have recommended Ruth multiple times to fill very specific opportunities with my firm and I will hire her whenever we need a specific client for a specific opportunity. I wholeheartedly recommend Ruth without reservation and look forward to working with her again.

    Rick Shalaby Executive Vice President Global Commercial Co-lead - Syneos Health
  • I met Ruth while I was General Counsel. Over many years, Ruth took excellent care of our global senior staffing needs, including successfully recruiting no less than six foreign country managers. She made herself consistently available to us, addressed our various staffing concerns rapidly, and always had the Company's best interests at heart. It is difficult to find people (often at short notice) to fill senior roles in far flung corners of the world where we had needs, but Ruth never let us down. She gave us excellent options from which to choose and often was able to illuminate us about a prospective candidates background with candid, helpful insights. I would heartily recommend not only Ruth Frazer, but also the network she brings with her.

    Mick Galvin General Counsel, Unipharm Inc.
  • I had the privilege of working with Ruth Frazer when she helped me secure my previous role, and I cannot speak highly enough of her professionalism and expertise. Ruth was incredibly helpful throughout the interview process, offering insightful guidance and thorough preparation that made all the difference in my confidence and success. What sets Ruth apart is her deep knowledge of the industry and her ability to tailor her advice to the specific needs of the roles and companies she supports. Her insights gave me a clearer understanding of the market and helped me position myself effectively. In addition, Ruth’s exceptional organization and clear communication ensured that every detail was addressed and presented in a way that was easy to understand and actionable. Even after our initial work together, Ruth has consistently stayed in touch, demonstrating her genuine care and investment in her candidates' long-term success. Ruth’s dedication to helping individuals navigate the job market is unmatched. Whether you are searching for your next opportunity or need guidance in your career, I wholeheartedly recommend connecting with Ruth.
