direct hire phone screen













Question: What do we know so far?
-CNS
-Lundbeck?
-very large territories
-are they happy if you have CNS background, or do you need antipsychiotic?
-how long is it taking to get the questionnaire sent after they ask to forward your resume?

Heard interviews are first week of June in Dallas.

Thanks!
 






They were not clear on therapeutic area..havnt stated company. Asked if could travel 20 percent in questiinnaire...dallas interviews first week in june. I was also told my info would be sent to management for consideration. Not sure how many were sent to management. It is up to management based on info recruiter gives who they choose..thats what my recruiter stated..I was told I would know sometime early next week. Hope this info helps.
 






Recruiter who did phone screen told a friend....it was CNS. For those of you who have gotten the questionairre, do you antipsychiotic experience or antidepressant only? Thanks!
 


















turn around seems kind of quick for the start date they are stating of mid june. if dallas interviews are first week in june it does not give someone much time to put in their notice if they accept and are currently employed.
 






OP here.......thanks for the info. I have psych/neurology antti-depressant/sleep hypnotic experience as well. No questionaire yet. Maybe I'm not a good geographic fit?!

For those who completed questionaire, what salary range did you request? Is 90K base too high?
 












i dont think 90 too high. its a speciality position with a posible large geography and overnights. other pharma companies pay in the low 90's for speciality with experience in the therapeutic class. i believe 90's would be the highest...maybe 95 max. this is just based on what i know other speciality reps make in other companies...dont know who this is etc...so just an educated guess.

I was referred to this opening and was not actively seeking a new job
I was told by phone screener that the range was $80-90k, bonus at $30k, stock options, car
The stock option piece rules out many companies (cough, Lundbeck)
The questionaire asked a lot about Neuro, and psych experience
I have neuro, and lots of psych experience.
 






i was also asked by recruiter about my experience working independently versus a pod environment. i kept thinking maybe its biogen idec as they have approval on a new ms drug with upcoming launch but im almost sure they work in a pod format. i was also told i would hear early this week so im assuming by tuesday or wednesday at the latest as dallas interviews would be the following week.
 






I was moved on to a F2F. Still no word on the company or therapeutic area. Fly out to Texas next week but in the email it stated that it would send further info on the company. Only 4 chosen to move forward for each territory.
