What our clients say
I cannot say enough positive words about Ed and my time working with him. He is extremely intelligent and very knowledgeable of the industry he represents. If you are even considering looking for a role or you are a company with a role to post, seek out Ed Canning first. I was in the job market a very brief time and that's due, in part, to Ed and how he takes pure ownership of his role. Highly Recommend!
Senior International Director of Quality and Regulatory
Ed was fantastic in helping me find a new opportunity. He was communicative, personable, and a fantastic liaison between myself and the company I was interviewing with. He always answered my questions promptly and kept me informed on the next steps and feedback. It was great to have Ed in my corner, and I would recommend him to anyone looking for a new role!
Senior Design Assurance Engineer
Ed was fantastic to work with on my recent job search! He was great at providing updates on a regular basis, even if it was just to say that there was no update. I appreciated this as waiting to hear about job can be difficult, especially after being laid off. During the offer process, he helped me figure out what was a realistic ask and how to best go about negotiating. I would absolutely work with Ed again on my next search.
Director, Regulatory Affairs
Ed was an immense help in securing my new position. He helped through each stage of the process and answered questions clearly and quickly. Thoroughly professional. I highly recommend using him to advance to your next level.
Senior Manager Regulatory Affairs Medical Device
I was fortunate enough to work with Ed on securing a new position. Ed went above and beyond with interview preparation, open communication, and follow-up. He's so easy to work with and genuinely cares about finding a position that fits both the candidate's and the employer's needs and wants. I highly recommend working with Ed!
Associate Principal Consultant CMC & Quality
I highly recommend Ed Canning. I found Ed to be professional, personable, and down-to-earth. His communication was open and timely. The recruiting process was extraordinarily easy due to Ed’s efforts to usher me through the process. It was a pleasure working with him to secure a new position with a fantastic company.
