Jon’s Bio

Originally from the Chicago area, and transplant to America’s Research Triangle, I have been a lifelong learner of biologic behaviors and the motivations of what makes an organism tick. Holding dual degrees in Evolutionary Biology and Criminology from Valparaiso University, I have worked with humans and animals alike through policing and zoologic means.
I currently help drug development partners decipher hiring trends through real time market data. My belief of “a better way to partner” with recruitment agencies led to the founding of ClinSearch Resources, a pharmaceutical recruitment and consulting firm strategically focused on human capital management. My experiences have taught me that talent attraction is not a linear path, and there is no copy paste answer to every hiring scenario. My approach to recruitment is scientific; I strive to understand the unique motivations of each party to derive the best mutually beneficial relationship available.
