For CRAs
Contract, contract-to-hire and permanent CRA roles with US sponsors and CROs. Sent to you by someone who knows the difference between a CRA I and a Senior CRA, and why that matters.
Why people in your role call us
Because CRA is a familiar title, every generalist agency thinks it can fill it. So you get contacted about roles that do not match your therapeutic area, your travel tolerance or your level, by someone who cannot tell whether a study is in start-up or close-out.
The result is that experienced monitors stop answering. You have had the call where the recruiter could not name the sponsor, could not say whether it was site-facing or in-house, and did not know what phase the study was in.
We ask those questions before we call you, because we ask them at intake with the client. If we cannot answer them, we do not have a role, we have a rumour.
Under 2 MB. PDF, DOC, DOCX, RTF, PPT or PPTX.
We never present your profile to a client without your permission. No fees, ever.
What we place you into
Regional and roaming CRA roles with defined travel expectations, agreed before you interview.
Centralised roles with little or no travel, increasingly common and competitive.
Data-focused oversight roles for monitors moving away from the road.
Site activation and essential documents, where the pressure is front-loaded.
Oversight of a monitoring team rather than a site list.
Studies that have drifted and need experienced monitors quickly.
What we ask you
A CRA screen that only checks years and therapeutic area tells the client nothing. Ours asks about the work.
If you can answer those properly you will be represented accurately, which is most of what goes wrong elsewhere.
Rates and timelines
CRA rates vary considerably by level, therapeutic area, travel expectation and whether the role is site-facing or in-house. Anyone quoting you a single national number is guessing.
We do not publish rate figures. What we do is tell you the client band before you interview, so you are not guessing what you are worth or discovering it at offer stage.
Typical time to first submission: Same week for most CRA profiles, often within 48 hours.
Questions
Yes, and there are more of them each year as central monitoring grows. They are competitive precisely because so many experienced monitors want them, so being known to us before one opens matters.
Both, though the market for CRA I is thinner and slower. We will tell you honestly where your level sits rather than encouraging you to apply for everything.
Both. They are different jobs with different pressures, and we screen for which you have actually done rather than assuming they transfer.
Not without asking you first. Duplicate submissions damage you more than anyone, which is why we ask up front where your resume already is.
Cardiovascular, metabolic, CNS, renal, infectious disease, haematology and oncology most often. If yours is not there, ask, and we will tell you plainly whether we have that client base.
