About Kazan International
Who we are:
Kazan International was founded in 1989 as a retainer based executive search firm dedicated to life science and healthcare related industries. Our client companies range from early stage, venture capital-backed medical device and biotech companies to fully integrated, multinational pharmaceutical manufacturers. In healthcare services, our clients include alternate site therapeutic service providers, medical information systems vendors and clinical laboratories.
Where we are:
Headquartered in Bedminster, NJ we have established joint ventures with a network of executive search firms with offices in Brussels, Paris, Frankfurt, London, Cambridge, Madrid, Tokyo and Sydney. Our partners have completed engagements across all functional areas for pharmaceutical, biotechnology, medical device and diagnostic companies throughout Europe, Asia and the Pacific Rim. In 2002, we opened a Kazan International office in Seattle. This expansion has allowed us to forge a partnership which now represents one of the largest executive search firms focused exclusively on the global healthcare marketplace.
Why retain us:
The most frequently asked question we receive is “Why should I use Kazan International rather than another firm?” We believe there are quite a few reasons why you should use Kazan International.
-
Last year 75% of our assignments were with clients we have worked with previously. This testimonial is the greatest single endorsement of our abilities, past performance, and success!
-
The recruiter you engage will be the person leading the search. He will be the person speaking and meeting with potential candidates and assessing their fit with the criteria you established.
-
Though we have an extensive global database, we do new, fresh research for every assignment. Database information gets old quickly and our firm does not rely on that alone.
-
We commit to presenting the first qualified candidate within four weeks of starting the search. We believe it is essential that we calibrate quickly and often times our first candidate receives an offer.
-
In the course of a search we are always looking for people who have the potential to grow or already exceed the current spec. In this way we assure that you have “bench strength” for additional upside opportunities and have a team that can handle rapid growth.
-
During the course of the search we will frequently develop competitive intelligence, and will share that information with you if meaningful and ethical.
-
We will not work with any more than one large company in any segment of healthcare so that we do not have a “hands off” restriction with the largest pool of potential candidates.
-
We will never recruit any candidate from a client company if we have worked with that company in the past two years. Additionally we will never recruit any candidate from a company if we placed that candidate.
