HWA's process guided us seamlessly through this search. We met weekly which kept the process on track. Maryanne is the perfect choice for our team, she brings technical expertise and is a perfect cultural fit. My take away - if I am going to work with a recruiter, I do not see any reason to work with someone other than this team.

SVP Product Development
Toni sets the standard for the industry in whatever task she undertakes. We worked with her to identify strong engineering talent for our startup life sciences platform. She helped us focus on the most important attributes given our development stage and financial position. Toni found a crop of needles in the haystack.
Chief Commercial Officer

Working with HWA was a game-changer. Not only did the team demonstrate a remarkable ability to navigate the complexities of the negotiation process, but the attention to detail and responsiveness made the entire experience feel seamless. Toni was attentive to both the company’s needs and my requirements as a candidate, which fostered an environment of trust and collaboration. I couldn’t be happier with the outcome and recommend HWA for anyone looking to make a successful match in today’s competitive market.
Alicia

HWA offers ongoing support for our regulatory and quality team. They led our team to prepare and acheive ISO 13485 certification. Their dedication and focus on our initiatives are of significant value to the business.
