Candidates - Testimonials

"Taylor Mclaren provided a highly professional, nimble, and customer-focused service. I was impressed with the speed at which they responded to my request for a placement, as well as their attention to detail and their communication style during all points of the consultation and placement service. I had regular contact with Taylor Mclaren during the tenure of my placement, which I appreciated and found useful. I have since recommended their service to a number of healthcare and IT professionals, as well as corporate clients. Taylor Mclaren are a very impressive group that I will definitely use again."


Medical Writer Consultant

 "I would just like to say thank you for keeping me updated about the LB Waltham Forest post. I had thought that things would stall slightly around the school half term, so it is good to be kept in the picture, something many agencies would not do. Thanks again for your consideration."

"Just wanted to say, big thanks for your help with my application; it has been a pleasure to work with you. I'm sure at times you were sick to death of me hounding you but hopefully it was all worthwhile! I'm really looking forward to starting my new role and maybe see you onsite sometime in the future!"

Regulatory Affairs Consultant

“I found the services from Taylor Mclaren very honest and trustworthy, and also very efficient. I also like the personal relationship shown by the consultants at Taylor Mclaren, this includes the regular visits, 1-2-1 communication and genuine interest in our well being at work. The experience from working with Taylor Mclaren has been refreshing, compared to other recruitment agencies. Thank you!”

Drug Safety Associate, Roche

“This is my very first experience of contract work, I must admit it was a very daunting thought at first, deciding to make the move, but the reassurance and support, both professionally and personally that I have received from Taylor Mclaren has helped to make the transition very easy for me. They gave me all of the information I needed to help decide about registering with an "umbrella" company who organise my tax and national insurance for me and who are always very helpful if I need to contact them for advice. I would highly recommend Taylor Mclaren for anyone thinking about a major work changing experience”

Drug Safety Associate, CRO

“My experience of Taylor Mclaren has been excellent. The service was efficient from submitting CV through to being placed at AstraZeneca. Not only were promises made but they were kept throughout. Response time to all contact made to Taylor Mclaren was first class. I was kept informed of everything as it happened, all queries answered fully and my understanding of the process was clear. Nothing was too much to ask and if an answer was not available immediately, one was found very quickly. All parties involved were kept in the loop and there was no time when I felt neglected. After being placed with AstraZeneca I have had follow up contact from Michael, just to ensure everything is going smoothly and that I am happy. This is something I have never experienced before and it made me feel valued and that Taylor Mclaren do care about the people and companies they deal with. Nice doing business with you Taylor Mclaren, should I need to, I will be back. Thank you.”

V. Wellborne, Medical Information Scientist

“I had the pleasure of working with Michael Narden from Taylor Mclaren and I have to say that it has been the best experience of my life. A very honest person with a primary goal to please the candidate, he was able to find me very quickly a new job, which was of a high standard. Throughout the time with Taylor Mclaren, Michael kept regular contact with me and visited me regularly to see how the job was going and if everything was fine and mainly if I was happy at my work place. I am now a permanent employee at the company that Michael has placed me, however if I ever left, Michael would be the first person I would contact. I believe that Taylor Mclaren is a company that I can trust as a candidate with my future career aspects. Of course I have recommended the company and Michael Narden to all my friends should they need to make use of it.”

“I have had the pleasure of working with Michael Narden who helped place me in a contract role with a major pharmaceutical company.  From initial contact Michael was helpful, friendly, professional, and focused on my needs.  The commitment to me as a customer continued throughout my career as a contractor for the company. I hope to work with Michael again and would recommend his services without hesitation to anyone.”

Drug Safety Scientist, Mayne Pharmaceutical

“Having registered my CV with several Recruitment Agencies , I can honestly say that Michael provided the most help through all stages of my job search. Opportunities were discussed and a targeted approach used to identify appropriate regulatory affairs positions. This approach saved everyone's time and resulted in a job offer at my first interview. Not only did Michael provide support through the search phase he also kept in contact afterwards to check that all parties were happy with the recruitment outcome.

A level of magnitude above the rest, he goes the extra mile to make sure the right person gets the right opportunity with the right employer.”

Senior Regulatory Affairs Executive

“Michael Narden always matches the person to the position to give the best possible fit, a skill so often lacking in the recruitment industry. He is a prime example of what a recruiter should be.”

Senior Medical Information Officer, Pharmaceutical Company

“Just over 12 months ago I found my self in the unenviable position of being made redundant with no warning.  Looking for a new job is daunting enough but having to wade through the endless list of recruitment agents who "promise to be able to help you find a new role" is almost more daunting.  In the end I decided to restrict my self to just a few specific agencies and was luck enough to be introduced to Michael.  Michael helped take the pain out of finding a new job, secured me an interview with a large size Pharma and within 8 weeks of leaving my old company Michael had worked diligently to secure me a new contract”

Discovery Medicine Director

“In my experience honesty, integrity and professionalism are words that you seldom associate with recruitment agents, as there are many mavericks out there. However, in all my experiences with Michael he has shown nothing but 100% professionalism and I am confident that he will continue representing me in the best possible light.

Only the elite agents are willing to invest time and energy in to a job seeker to truly determine their exact requirements without obtaining a CV first. Most agents play a game of hit & hope or mix & match and hope that the skills on a CV fit parts a job description. In my opinion, the service that Michael provides is unique and most importantly, free of any pressure. This approach will ensure that a jobseeker will get what they want rather than settle for something that an agent wants you to have so that they can make a fast buck.”

“If you ask me to describe Michael Narden, I would simply say that he is the best recruiter I have met and dealt with. However, he is more than a recruiter. Please find below how I find Michael Narden:

He is a very professional and conscientious person.”

“I worked as a contractor with Michael Narden and found that he was the most professional and helpful consultant that I have worked with. He never approached me with a possible role that wasn't the kind of thing I was interested in and never wasted my time (as so many other consultants can do!). He also provided constant follow up through-out the period and always made sure that I was happy in my role. I have no hesitation in recommending him to any of my friends or colleagues and would definitely use him in the future.”
