Mike Jones and The Curare Group did in minutes what would have taken me hours. Mike was able to accurately predict the contract structure, making the interview and negotiating process much easier. With over 65 jobs in my search area, Mike was able to take my requests and narrow the search to the three positions most likely to suit me, all at no cost.

During my chief year, I was inundated with physician recruiters` phone calls. The majority of the calls were people trying to fit me into the spots they had available rather than find the right practice for me. Michele Beason was different. She really took the time to find out what I was looking for with regard to my career and also my family. Michele only brought me serious opportunities in the geographical region we had discussed that met my specifications. She was always easy to get a hold of

- H. Oria
Mike Jones was immensely helpful in finding the right job for me. To say that I was a difficult case in an unique situation is an understatement and Mike was still able to come through in finding me an excellent opportunity by anyone's standards. He was consistently working to help me in any way he could and seemed genuinely concerned about finding me a job when others were not. I wouldn't hesitate to use The Curare Group again and I plan to refer my colleagues also.
- J. Tucker
The most notable quality I noticed about Dave Witte was that he was an advocate for me and my interests. He has done a remarkable job to help me negotiate through my job contract once he found the right job for me. He showed me a lot of positions, but then recommended to me only the right ones that matched my requirements. Unlike a lot of recruiters, he let me think carefully before I accepted a position and even encouraged me to be patient.
- A. Kandra
Michele Beason has been amazing to say the least. When I started my job search, I had multiple recruiters contact me, all trying to be helpful finding me the job that best fit me. It didn't take long to realize that all they wanted to do was just get me into ANY job. Michele was a breath of fresh air. She paid attention to what I was looking for. She has a vast knowledge of what the market has to offer and is very open with good advice.
- S. Khan
It was a pleasure working with Brett Dennis. He succeeded in finding me an outstanding practice which met my requests for the practice I was searching for.

- J. Cramp
Mike Jones was extremely helpful, going out of his way to call over 200 offices in my initial job search in Kansas City.

- H. O`Toole
Ian Sons has been wonderful in assisting me with finding a position right after my training. Things went well and on time due to his planned coordination with my employer.

- Dr. P. Abston, MD
We were using several recruiters but The Curare Group was the only one who kept us informed of the progress weekly and only showed us opportunities that we were interested in - not just anything available.
- Dr. M. Hoffman
I received many calls from recruiters that were obviously working for themselves instead of the physician! Curare`s knowledge, attention to detail, and patience resulted in a wonderful outcome for me!
- Dr. J. Fleming, MD
My physician friends had cautioned me regarding the use of "headhunters" because of their perception that such professional groups were only interested in placing you somewhere (not necessarily a good match) as quickly as possible. My experiences with Curare were not in accordance with those warnings from my friends. It was a very positive working relationship. It saved me time and I felt as if she was working with me to find a good professional match.

- Dr. S. Hughes
Because of the Internet allowing ready access to many recruiting companies, I have interacted with many recruiters online and over the phone. The Curare Group was very nice as opposed to others who reminded me somewhat of high pressure salesman.
- Dr. R. Todd
Your approach in recruiting a physician for an available opportunity was not aggressive, but very effective and made me feel very comfortable working with you and I was able to discuss with you openly about my concerns and any issue that may influence my choice of a practice opportunity.

- Dr. B. Taparia
In fifteen years of practice, and having been approached and dealing with dozens of recruiters, you and your associates stand out as head and shoulders above the crowd. It is obvious that you build a strong relationship with your hospitals and other practice opportunities based on your honesty, integrity and ability to close the deal in a win-win manner which makes you one of a very select few of truly professional recruiters.
- Dr. J. Rich
Your market knowledge, thoroughness and negotiating skills are clearly superior to those of any other search firm.
- Dr. R. Sarlo
I recommend The Curare Group to other physicians, no need to use other recruiting services.
