I highly recommend Sherri. She helped me fill several positions at both UCB and Alexion. Her communication is excellent, she provides high quality candidates, and she works quickly. It is hard to find candidates with rare disease experience, but Sherri was able to find candidates in all cases that were thoroughly qualified, and within weeks of her engagement. She is a pleasure to work with. We were able to fill crucial positions in far less time than I experienced with other recruiters. She’s the best!

“I’ve known Sherri for over a decade and she’s one of the only recruiters I’ll work with to help me with key hires. She’s a pro – thoughtful, patient, and a very good listener. Most recently, she helped me find our CCO, who is both a highly accomplished individual but is also a great fit for our company. The select list of other candidates she introduced me to were also really solid people. It was a pleasure working with Sherri on the process and I wouldn’t hesitate to hire her again.” – CS, CEO – start-up
“For the vast majority of the years since 2014 and until my retirement in Aug. 2023, I had direct and indirect recruiting responsibility for the US Commercial Operations of Alexion Pharma. I am pleased to offer my recommendation for Sherri Kemp, with whom I had the opportunity to work during her period as a vendor for Alexion. As someone with extensive experience – since 1975 (!) – in Recruiting and Talent Acquisition, I recognize the importance of having a trustworthy, reliable, and knowledgeable partner in the industry. Sherri has demonstrated these qualities consistently, with a particular strength in the pharma/biotech sector.
Sherri was thoroughly vetted by me before becoming one of our few preferred vendors, a status she maintained through her integrity, diligence, and understanding of the industry’s complexities, especially in the Rare Disease space. Her ability to grasp our needs and her determination to meet them made her a valuable asset to our recruitment efforts. While working with us, she was effective in identifying and attracting high-caliber candidates, reflecting her deep commitment to her profession and her clients.
With Sherri now leading her own recruiting agency, I believe she will continue to offer valuable services and insights to her clients. Her track record with us was one of consistent reliability and commitment, qualities that I’m confident she will carry forward in her new venture. I recommend Sherri Kemp to any organization seeking a knowledgeable and dedicated recruitment partner. “ – H.T., former Talent Acquisition Leader, biotech
“Thank you, Sherri! You identified a perfect candidate in less than a day! Working with you through the recruitment process was a dream! Your attention to the details of the role, our organization and my leadership style all paid off. Your candidate has been in place for a month and already, she is delivering great results.” – B.V., former hiring manager, midsize pharma

“Ms. Kemp is the total consummate professional. I have hired people for over 25 years, and I have never seen an organization so well prepared as Ms. Kemp was in understanding the needs of both sides of the placement process. This time I was the candidate, and I was thoroughly impressed with how she prepared me and the organization that she was representing on how to marry the two parties in a way that appeared to be seamless. I would recommend Ms. Kemp whether you are hiring or you are looking to make a change in the medical/pharmaceutical industry. A job well done Ms. Kemp!” – C.F., candidate
“Working with Sherri was an absolute pleasure! She is a true professional in her trade. Not only did she help me land the perfect job, but the amount of time she spent helping me prepare for different opportunities was incredible. I’ve never had a recruiter dedicate so much time to interview preparation (e.g., background on the different people I’d be speaking to, company cultures, job responsibilities, etc.). Without this preparation, I wouldn’t have stood a chance. In addition, the time she spent trying to understand my professional experience and future needs was very much appreciated. It was obvious she cared about the opportunity that would be the best fit for me. I would work with Sherri again in a heartbeat!” – M.B., candidate
