Testimonials
“I like working with RK International because they don't only find viable candidates they also make sure they fit in your organization.” Johan Sandstrom

"Wheaton Science Products challenged RK International with an extremely difficult-to-fill position in Global Sourcing for products used in the pharmaceutical research, biopharm and in-vitro diagnostics markets. Within weeks RK had viable candidates all of whom had the prerequisite experience. The candidate selected brought process knowledge and discipline, professionalism and a global perspective which has proven to be a significant added benefit. RK maintained contact with us throughout the process and has routinely followed-up on their placement to confirm that we remain satisfied with their candidate. We are very pleased with RK’s preparation, recruiting, communications and follow-up." Stephen Drozdow

"We are a four-year-old Pharmaceutical company specializing in leading edge cancer drugs. The R/K International team has been a partner in our success from the beginning. In my prior twenty years as a senior executive I had worked with other professional recruitment firms but the R/K team has been head and shoulders above the rest. They have successfully recruited world-class personnel for a variety of positions from Vice President of Biology to Director of Chemical Research to senior level Chemists and Biologists. They have "extracted" these personnel from some of the largest and most prestigious international pharmaceutical companies in the world. They have been very persistent and recruited people who had not even considered a career change. They continue to work with us in recruiting biology and chemistry professionals to meet our rapid growth requirements. They work tirelessly to find the best candidates possible to meet our demanding requirements and fit comfortably into our company culture." Lewis Metts, Ph.D. |
"We have been extremely pleased with the service provided by R/K International.

With their help we were able to quickly and efficiently meet our recruiting needs." Neil Johnson |

"Achieving excellence, trust and value for their clients is clearly their number one goal. Their special attention to detail and the ability to handle a vast array of knowledge has made a great impact on our working relationship. R/K's responsiveness and agility are a large part of their commitment to value. Achieving success for us has been based on blending our needs, the R/K knowledge base, and the chemistry of candidates with our evolving culture. Their assistance has been invaluable." Paul E. Fein |
"As a placed candidate, I appreciate the candor and help provided by R/K International throughout the hiring process. Shortly after taking my new position, I used R/K in a set of searches and am very satisfied with our new employees. They have the education, skills and experience we require, but almost as important, their personalities and styles fit in well with our top management team." Harvey Baker |
"Our firm has come to view R/K International not just as a service provider but also a business partner. At the beginning of our relationship they took the time to conduct in-depth on-site meetings with us to develop a full understanding of our business as well as the requirements and personal competencies required for the position in question. Their professionalism and success with that first search became the basis for a long-term relationship and a number of subsequent successful searches." Jack Seeger |
"When there is only 3 seconds on the clock and your team is down by one point, you always want to put the ball in the hands of your Go-To Guy. Since 1990, R/K International has been my Go-To Guy in the Executive Search World. Whenever I have a particularly challenging search assignment, I call R/K and 60 to 90 days later I am usually in a position to make an offer to one of three equally qualified candidates. As a result R/K has been instrumental in helping me put together some high performance teams that profitably grew sales at an accelerated rate." Ian Dodd |
"RK International took our requirements very seriously by investing the time required up-front to understand the position we were filling. All of the candidates submitted by R/K International were qualified to perform the job. It was simply a matter of us interviewing the candidates and determining if the "fit" was right. I was very pleased with their professional service." Dee J. Taylor |
"Our experience with R/K International has been nothing but successful. Every search was handled on a personal level with the professionalism and class you expect only from the very large firms." Dave Crozier |
"Being the driver of a fast growth technology company, I needed to help in taking the company to the next level. R/K International became part of our growth strategy, and was able to quickly understand the corporate culture and objectives. Over a nine year period, several key executives were hired who managed a five fold increase in sales and profits, and an evolution and pipeline of new products." Hal Kirshner |
"I have utilized the services of R/K International on several occasions over the last 7 years. Their professionalism, tenacity and sensitivity in conducting critical searches in the software industry is second to none. They possess the innate ability to size up a particular culture and motivate the right talent for that environment. Bottom line... they get results." Colin B. Matthews |
"R/K International has consistently delivered on its committment to present, on a timely basis, qualified candidates for tough searches. In view of the difficulties often encountered with the search process, my experiences with R/K International are refreshing indeed. It takes uniquely talented search professionals to make it happen over and over again. R/K has what it takes...they are "top notch." Tom Curtin |

My personal experience with R/K has always been a successful match of job requirements with top performing employees. The R/K team listens attentively to needs, researches backgrounds and references of candidates, arranges confidential interviews and assists in the decision process, providing my organization with immediately productive employees.
