Every now and then, feedback lands that genuinely stops you in your tracks. This testimonial about Nicky Stunt does exactly that. What it highlights (beyond her experience or network) is something we value deeply at RBW: listening properly, acting with integrity, and understanding the industry at a level that builds long‑term trust. Nicky’s impact comes from judgement, care, and consistency — whether supporting candidates through pivotal career moments or advising clients on the talent they really need. We’re incredibly proud to have her on the team. And as a business, we’re always keen to speak with recruiters who want to work somewhere that recognises individual strengths, encourages thoughtful work, and puts people before transactions. #RecruitmentDoneRight #HealthcareCommunications #RecruiterLife #EmployerBranding #LifeSciencesRecruitment

Next week, Josh Swistak and Surbhi Dhar, PhD will be in Boston attending the Chief Medical Officer Summit 360°. This is one of the key annual forums for biotech Chief Medical Officers, covering everything from clinical development strategy and regulatory interaction to leadership, resourcing, and execution risk. We’re particularly interested in the conversations around capability; how CMOs are structuring teams to deliver in an environment that remains complex, cautious, and highly scrutinised. Looking forward to sharing some reflections from the summit. #BiotechLeadership #ClinicalDevelopment #ChiefMedicalOfficer #LifeSciences #CMOSummit360

𝐂𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐛𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝟓 𝐲𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐬 𝐚𝐭 𝐑𝐁𝐖 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 🎉 This month marks five years since Nicky Stunt joined RBW Consulting; a brilliant milestone and one well worth celebrating. Over the past five years, Nicky has been a consistent presence in the business, known for her professionalism, commitment to her work, and the way she shows up for clients, candidates and colleagues alike. Longevity like this doesn’t happen by chance, it’s built on trust, mutual respect and a shared commitment to doing things well. Howard Johnson said "Nicky is unique, there is no one else in the business who thinks like her and it is this super power that makes her so brilliant in the Healthcare Comms space and why her clients love her." We’re proud of the long‑term careers people build here, and moments like this are a great reminder of why that matters. Thank you for everything you bring Nicky, and congratulations on five years 👏 #RBWConsulting #TeamMilestones #5YearAnniversary #PeopleAndCulture #LifeSciencesRecruitment

Every hiring process leaves an impression, not just on the candidates you hire, but on everyone who goes through it. Many organisations already know candidate experience matters. Fewer have the time, structure or internal capacity to consistently deliver it, especially when hiring at pace, across multiple roles, or under pressure. That’s where processes tend to fracture. Not through intent, but through overload, misalignment and competing priorities. At RBW Consulting, we sit inside hiring journeys every day. We see where experience quietly breaks down, and how the right structure, communication and ownership can transform outcomes, not just for candidates, but for hiring teams too. We’ve captured that thinking in a practical resource: 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐂𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐄𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐄𝐱𝐜𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐅𝐫𝐚𝐦𝐞𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤 It’s designed to help hiring teams: • Understand where experience typically breaks down • Identify the moments candidates actually remember • Create a more consistent, human and effective hiring journey 📄 Download the Candidate Experience Excellence Framework here: 👉 https://okt.to/NEa6t8 And if you’d like to explore what great candidate experience looks like when it’s actively managed, not just designed, we’re always open to a conversation. #CandidateExperience #TalentAcquisition #HiringStrategy #EmployerBrand #RecruitmentInsights #RBWConsulting
