Everyone there understands in depth the needs on both sides, those of the job seeker as well as those of the hiring manager/employer.  Ina and her team always displayed high professionalism and offered expert guidance and advice if needed. It will always be a pleasure to return to the services of The Bauman Group knowing that I will be in the best experienced hands."

We have been working with Ina and her team for about 10 years and she has always come through with the highest quality individuals that were a great fit in our company.  She takes the time to get to know the company which allows her to be highly selective in presenting candidates and not waste our time.  As a result we never hesitate to go back to her for critical hires.

Ina is an outstanding recruitment professional. She has an extensive network and adds a personal touch to every engagement. I am thrilled with the work that she did for Halozyme.

Working with The Bauman Group was very satisfying. Their professional approach and can-do attitude made our relationship very productive and enjoyable. We added a degree of difficulty to our search for a scarce commodity by requiring the candidate to move to an atypical environment. No problem, mission accomplished! Thanks to Ina's experience and all inclusive network. I would certainly go to Ina for future needs.

Ina and her group identified  6 viable candidates for our search within 2 months.  We were able to complete the search and hire our chief medical officer in less than 6 months.  Ina's experience and background in the medical field was I believe very useful and important in identifying viable candidates, and effectively communicating to them the opportunities at NephroGenex.  Back and forth interactions and discussions with candidates were very professionally managed.  One is well served to use the Bauman Group for searches in the medical and clinical fields.

Working with the Bauman Group as a candidate was a pleasure; the high level of professionalism and attention to important details goes without saying.  Ina truly understand both the position and the needs of the candidate and so makes excellent matches, that are a win/win success for both parties.

Jeffrey Hatfield

Our search for our Chief Medical Officer was expected to be long and difficult owing to our geography, stage of development and ideal candidate profile for which we were unwilling to compromise.  A strong partnership with the Bauman Group, anchored by their constant interaction with us, enabled us to remain confident and true to our ideal candidate profile.  Our patience paid off - we landed not only the ideal candidate, but an entire team, catapulting the company to a level exceeding our expectations!

We worked with The Bauman Group to help us find our head of clinical operations.  It was an important position for us to fill quickly but we weren't willing to compromise on the quality of our hire.  They provided us with very quick turn around and a good choice of qualified candidates

John Kaiser

At Intarcia we like to remain a lean organization - so every new hire counts.

And for me Ina and her group is the first stop because my experience with her team, now dating back a decade and several very interesting Biotech companies, has just been phenomenal.

I think the secret is that their approach to the search is almost like matchmaking. Ina's exceptional talent is to identify candidates that not only meet the job description, but who also fit into the company in terms of personality, motivation and spirit. And once identified, her personal touch in shepherding the candidate through the sometimes tough process of making the decision to leave a job behind and to come on board is unmatched and critical for the ultimate success: a happy company and a happy new team member

I've relied on Ina and her group for years - they are in touch with the market and the best candidates. They help you build your team for the long-term. They are a joy to work with and candidates appreciate their process as well.

After 15 years in this industry, there are only a few recruiters who are on my "A" list. And the top one starts with "B": The Bauman group. There is a level of honesty, support, and trust that Ina and her group bring to the process that should be the standard for this business.

Ms. Bauman and her team are highly professional and intimately networked in the biotech and pharma communities.  Not only have I had great success locating highly qualified candidates through the Bauman group, they also recruited me for my current position in GlobeImmune.

In filling a medical director position, Ina and her group worked very closely with us.  Ina's attention to the issues important to both parties involved assured that each was as knowledgeable and aware about the person and the position as possible. She encouraged and arranged for multiple opportunities for us to interact with the prospective employee and did a good job representing each others' questions and concerns.  At the same time she carefully monitored the interactions and gently but firmly kept the process going - in this case through to the signature on the contract.
