Many medical sales job boards have become cluttered with job listings from medical device and pharmaceutical companies. If you send your resume in response to one of these jobs, yours will join the hundreds (even thousands!) of other resumes from candidates who have responded to that posting.

Your resume will be screened by that companies’ HR department, who knows very little about evaluating sales, management, and marketing candidates. There is a very good chance that the hiring manager will never even see your resume!

In contrast, medical sales recruiters specialize in matching qualified candidates with specific job experience requirements as defined by the hiring managers. Thus, recruiters become your advocate in presenting you to the hiring managers of the companies they represent. Remember, recruiters do not make a fee until they place you with a company. Therefore, they are adept at “selling” your strong points to that hiring manager. You pay nothing for the advantage of having that recruiter act as your advocate.

In addition, most experienced medical sales recruiters develop close relationships with the many hiring managers they recruit for. These managers respect the opinions of the recruiter, and value their judgment when presented with the virtues of a candidate.
