Testimonials

I have worked with many recruiters / headhunters over the years, and, without a doubt, Matthew was the most communicative, most responsive recruiter I’ve ever dealt with. We talked several times a day, if necessary, often at unsociable hours for him (we’re 8 hours apart). It honestly felt like I was a sports star or movie star, with my own personal agent! If I had questions or concerns, he found the answers quickly. The whole process went from first call to closing very rapidly. Thanks Matthew

Charles Maher

Vice President Global Business Development at BioDuro

With the constant inquiries from recruiters, I have a tendency to not respond to most messages. What I appreciated about Matthew was that he was very transparent about the role he was recruiting for from the very start. Due to the global pandemic, timelines were stretched longer than normal but Matthew was very open about communication with me and Crown Bio. He was diligent and always responded in a timely manner despite our different time zones. I would not hesitate to work with Matthew for future opportunities.

He was also quite knowledgeable about the company and the position, which were key factors for myself as a candidate in evaluating the opportunity. I would work with Matthew again in the future without hesitation and highly recommend him as a recruiter.

Tatenda is a talent acquisition master matchmaker! He recruited me and throughout the entire process, he ensured each touchpoint had meaningful purpose that moved our relationship forward, keeping me on track, or clarifying next steps in this sometimes bumpy journey called "getting a job". His informative guidance was appreciated, and his candor and transparency was needed. I'm excited to join my new company and the only way that magic happened is because Tatenda was my partner. Hands down, the best business recruiter I have ever worked with!

The entire interaction with Matthew Barrows went smoothly and quickly. From the first meeting to the signing of the contract only fourteen days passed. All this without us having been in contact before. Matthew Barrows introduced me to the position at LabConnect based on my LinkedIn profile and also immediately aligned the most important general conditions. So it was clear for both sides that in case of a successful interview we would not fail in the details of the contract.

Kai-Alexander Wiemer

Senior Director Biospecimen at LabConnect

I recently had the privilege of working with Matthew. During that time - roughly, about two months - he was always organized, timely, and communicative.

If you need help either finding a candidate or finding a new job, I highly recommend working with Matthew. He's a rockstar!

I had the pleasure to work with Tatenda to secure my current role. We had previously discussed potential opportunities prior to this role becoming available; Tatenda indicated that he didn't have anything at the time but he would follow up if an opportunity came up that matched my skill set.
