“I met Tom at ASCO in 2019 and he contacted me within a few weeks after we met in person when he found a good opportunity for me. Tom successfully recruited me for my first MSL position. Working with Tom was both fast and efficient. Tom made the process very smooth and straightforward. Communication was frequent and Tom made sure I was updated about any progress in my interview process. I enjoyed recruitment through Tom and am thankful for how much he cared at every step of the way. Getting the first MSL job can be very difficult but Tom made this process simple with fantastic communication. I was hired by the company and am very glad I got to work with Tom.”

“I truly enjoy working with Tom-he is a phenomenal recruiter. Tom is one of my trusted advisors when it comes to recruiting top talent for Bristol-Myers Squibb. Throughout any recruitment process, Tom acts as a teammate to me and an advocate to the candidate. Tom’s business acumen and knowledge of the pharmaceutical industry is quite rare and extremely valuable to me. Tom fundamentally changed many lives for the better by placing professionals in their dream jobs where they can contribute to very exciting and innovative science to change the world. I would recommend The Carolan Group to any company and will continue working with him!”

“I had the pleasure of working with Tom and his team at The Carolan Group to build a small MSL team for VAYA. As a young, rapidly growing company, I knew we had some unique needs and requirements to find the right fit for our team. Because of this, I researched several agencies extensively; but after talking with Tom, I knew The Carolan Group was the right choice. Tom has a deep understanding of the industry with a special focus on Medical Affairs that helped us narrow down quickly to find the best candidates. Tom also went far and beyond the role of a recruiter to really partner with me to understand our business and the culture of our company to make sure that the candidates that we chose would be the right fit. He was a true resource in what would have otherwise been a potentially long and difficult search. I was impressed by the healthy pipeline of qualified candidates, the time dedicated to turn the project around quickly, and the overall professionalism of Tom and his team. Based on Tom’s expertise, the strong candidates offered, and the overall experience, The Carolan Group will continue to be my trusted recruitment source for MSLs. ”

“It was a pleasure working with Tom on securing a great MSL position. His open and straightforward communication and quick turnaround on discussion points makes for very efficient collaboration. I appreciated his advocacy on my behalf and that he kept me apprised at all stages of the interview process. Tom would be a great ally for any MSL recruitment needs!”

“My experience partnering with The Carolan Group and Tom Caravela has been absolutely exceptional over the decade we worked together identifying top MSL talent for the organization across therapeutic areas including Oncology and CVM. He delivered on speed and quality in an important oncology MSL team expansion! Tom advises on the talent landscape, industry trends and insights- becoming a true partner and providing so much value. His vast network of experienced MSL talent and ability to identify and vet new to MSL role candidates is very impressive! Tom has become a trusted partner. His candor, passion and customer focus (candidate and client) sets him apart. He has the pulse on the Medical Affairs/MSL space like no other!”

“Tom Caravela and his team at The Carolan Group were instrumental in building the Medical Science Liaison team at Insmed. They were able to provide top-notch candidates in a very quick time frame; their sourcing and screening of candidates proved extremely effective. Moreover, Tom’s experience and professional relationships afforded him with tremendous insight into the Medical Affairs marketplace. After the initial MSL team build, subsequent growth provided the opportunity for Tom and his team to further assist and add value. The Carolan Group continued to be the recruiting partner of choice; they never failed to deliver. Tom is passionate about his work and he can be relied upon as a partner who cares about both the client and the candidate. He is ethical, communicative and extremely professional. In short, he is the “go to” resource for Medical Affairs talent.”

“The Carolan Group is second to none when identifying top Medical Science Liaison and Global Medical Affairs talent. They are my “go to agency” for recruiting MSL and GMA professionals. Working with Tom and his team is a pleasure! What I appreciate most is their approach…never pushy or over aggressive. They also partner closely with me during the lifetime of each search and present only the most qualified applicants. If a resume comes from The Carolan Group, I know it is someone we need to get in front of the hiring manager. They’re that good!”

“Tom has helped me with my Medical Affairs recruitment needs over the past 4-5 years at two different Pharmaceutical firms. I consider him to be the leading expert in Medical Affairs searches, especially with finding field-based Medical Science Liaisons. While many search firms claim to “specialize” in this area, he far surpasses all of them when it comes to finding/placing quality MSL candidates in a hurry. I look forward to working with Tom many more times in the future.”
