I have CNS experience, plus great numbers, plus launch experience, plus great references.
Recruiter excluded experienced reps in my geography.
She did not even let the hiring manager view my resume.

People are hiring their friends. Its a primary care job so they can't mandate any relevant specialty experience. The hiring manager probably didn't want to see your resume. CNS experience would just complicate things if you were to find out what they will end up asking you to do.
 








I got the feeling they were looking for people with start up experience and experience building a new territory. Not necessarily years and years of the same call points. Experience in CNS isn’t exactly relevant as much as the ability to build something from nothing.
 




I have launch experience and three sales awards for the growth of my territory.
Recruiter from Columbus, Ohio did not forward my resume to the hiring manager.
I question age discrimination from what she was saying...

Same here is it inappropriate to reach out to the hiring manager on LinkedIn if you know who that is
 




















Had a phone screen/1st interview today
with a hiring manager, can confirm top
base is 105K , company car Volvo’s,
80% primary care call points,
2 reps per territory-teammates
Around Dec 6 start date
They do have a great Neuroscience
pipeline not just Migraine which
future call points would be more
Neuro only for those drugs.
Can’t really tell If they want experience neuro reps or experience primary care reps, But experienced veteran Neuro reps
are going to want bases way more
than 105K so that right there is going to weed out a lot of experienced Neuro reps.

I can confirm this , was told
the same top base 105
too bad this will eliminate
a lot of experienced reps.

I was told by a manager they will go up to 125 - 130 but it will take the regional to fight to get you that amount. I know the high end of 120 for sure isn't something they will blink at if warranted. This will be reserved for the few experienced reps they want to hire and not lose. Majority of reps will receive 100-105. If you make it far enough to the offer stage you can counter or decline. It isn't a very long interview process at least in my experience I know others it has been. The post interview wait has been the longest part but that includes, I am sure, the haggling for higher base.

I'm sure Taylor /Biohaven/ has received Thousands of resumes by now as they have been posting for months and under different names on multiple job boards . YET some managers are still searching on their own with linkedin posts asking for MORE candidates. The thousands of over-qualified reps they have to choose from are not good enough for them it seems. These are the micro- managers that will be pure hell to work for as they are never satisfied.

I agree. They talk about big pharma vs start-up and not wanting anything close to big pharma but the heavy micro-manager RD I witnessed is just like my current big pharma managers / RDs - I believe much worse! Says its up to the manager but has his thumb on everything --- pressing hard. Oh joy!
