"Evan Bernier with VRS has helped me immensely with quality resumes and candidates for the sales team I have been putting together for our small biotech reagents company. As a startup, time is crucial in how you spend it. Evan and his staff were able to do the fishing process for me and provide me with candidates that met my criteria and technical depth. This screening allowed me to maximize my time interviewing candidates and finding the right fit for my company in a matter of weeks." Kristie Krug, CEO Core Quantum Technologies.

I've had the pleasure of working with Evan & team, at VRS for the last five years. VRS offers a personalized and consultative approach to understanding the hiring needs of their clients. They understand the importance of team and cultural fit and will go the extra mile to find the best candidates possible. Throughout the interview process, they are attentive, communicative, and welcome open feedback. I'm pleased to share we've hired several candidates that VRS brought to the table. As a Regional Sales Manager, I'm grateful for the VRS team and everything they've done to help me build a successful team.

Working with the VRS-US team to find a new scientist is always a pleasure. We frequently needed to find a qualified scientist quickly for a new or open post, and this organization never failed to find the ideal applicant. With their assistance, we filled three or four roles. They have a vast candidate pool, great market expertise, and numerous contacts to support your needs. Without a doubt, I would advise working with VRS-US

I can't say enough good things about Kieran, Delaney, and the rest of the team at VRS. As an HR Manager I know that not all recruiting agencies are the same. VRS takes the time to learn our business, what we do, and how we work. They understand the profile that would be the best fit before they start their search. They will not flood me with resumes just to say they found us candidates like other agencies might. I know when I receive a resume from them that the potential candidate has been seriously vetted. Kieran and Delaney have both helped me to fill VERY difficult roles and I would be lost without them! Thank you VRS for making my job as a hiring manager easier.

Evan and the crew at VRS are hands-down the best recruiters I have ever worked with. They regularly update their website with new roles, the website has helpful links and resources for prospective job-hunters, and they know a lot of the background info on their posted jobs to help you through the interview process.
Evan was always timely and very professional in all of our communication, with regular follow-ups and plenty of casual chats too. Evan is a great guy and he really knows his stuff! He understands the current job market trends, and can help you market your skills to the right people if you're a good fit for the role. I wouldn't have the position I do now without Evan's efforts, and I will always refer anyone looking for an analytical chemistry position his way.
If you haven't heard of VRS yet and you're stuck searching for a life science role, you have to reach out to them!

VRS Recruitment is the best recruiting team I've worked with so far. I personally interacted with Ms Kendra Bonsey, who was extremely attentive to my career aspirations and matching these to the potential employers' needs. Kendra not only guided me throughout the interview process, but also repetedly followed up on my progress even after the offer was signed. I was truly impressed with the competence of VRS recruitment team and absolutely recommend it!

I highly recommend VRS for both hiring managers and candidates seeking to take the next step in their careers
I’ve successfully used VRS as a hiring manager in both the UK and the US. They have always provided high quality candidates and have keenly listened and understood my needs for the new hires.
Conversely, VRS matched me as a candidate that resulted in a great role for me with a great company that lasted 4 1/2 years. I wasn’t even looking for a change when this occurred.
Finally, all of my contacts at VRS are consummate professionals. It’s a pleasure to work with them, and I will certainly continue to do so.

My sincere thanks to Kieran. With one phone call he was the only person truly helped me to understand the US market and pointed me in the right direction.
I am very grateful to Kieran and Kendra, who helped me throughout the process. Not only I am able to get the compensation I wanted, I also get to work from home in Toronto. This is something I never imagined that would happen.
I highly recommend VRS for anyone looking a job in USA.. .
