Testimonials – Life Sciences Leaders
“Al Luzi is the consummate professional. In every interaction—whether with candidates, stakeholders, executive leaders, or support staff—Al demonstrates the highest level of professionalism, integrity, and expertise. He practices his craft the way the executive search process should be done: from the very first request call, through each step of the search, and in his thoughtful follow-up post-hire.
Al takes the time to truly understand the DNA of your company and uses that knowledge to actively seek out, deeply screen, and present only the most qualified candidates in the marketplace. His ability to balance thoroughness with efficiency sets him apart from others in the field.
I rely on Al and his firm for sensitive, hard-to-fill searches because I know they will be done right, with care, diligence, and an unwavering commitment to excellence.”
I consider Al a valued partner and look forward to working with him again in the future. As the executive recruiter that placed me in my current VP of Marketing role, he was very focused on ensuring that this was the right strategic fit for both me and the company. He invested a substantial amount of time upfront getting to know me, including what was important to me and what motivated me before putting me forward as a candidate. Several colleagues have partnered with Al to fill key strategic roles with great success.
I recently worked with Al on a VP of Market Access search. Al spends a lot of time and energy understanding the strategic needs of the role and presents solid candidates that ‘fit the bill’. I appreciated the consultative approach, the fast response time, and effort he puts in each search.
Al invests time, energy, and the trained eye of a professional to match client needs and strengths with opportunities. He employs a strategic and consultative approach to engaging executives and his focus on identifying skills, talents and experiences delivers organizational value through placements that stick. Above all, it is Al’s commitment to developing long-term business relationships that have earned him my trust and my next call.
Al is the type of recruiter you want working for you. His passion for matching employees to great careers is unparalleled, and is demonstrated by his timely and informative follow-through. Al guided me through each step of the process, from interview preparation through resigning from my previous employer. I would recommend Al to anyone looking for a caring, professional recruiter interested in making a positive career move.
