I also called by e-mail and phone both EspoirBridge and Cereprotec and I got no answer back in one week!

I am really suprised that I did not any job offer for sure (just a few interviews, some just prescreenings). If there are so many clinical jobs and there is "lack of professionals" (as Espoir Bridge claims), how comes I applied to 200 jobs and got only wasted time? This is frustrating and revolting.

First, I got an email from Espoirbridge asking to confirm email. Next,I got an email from a supposed recruiter Amanda Bale from Clinqua Clinical Trials, Inc. After a few minutes,I got another email from Kriger offering training at a discounted price. I spoke to Amanda Bale she said I was the perfect candidate for the study except that the company needed CRA training which would be partly paid by the company.I asked her for the no of the training company and she gave me a no and asked me to speak to Angela or Julie.If a company is interested in you they provide the training. Also,when I asked her the location of the employment she said I'd be working from a home office. I spoke with Angela and she said that the discount price was 900 and I might have to pay 450 USD. All this info was suspicious and so I did the reverse look up on the address of the company,4370 La Jolla Village Drive
San Diego, 92122-1249; and it turned up 100 people, one of which was Bruce Kriger. I also did reverse lookup on the no of the company and guess what, it is a landline in Rancho Bernardo, California not Sandiego as the email claimed. So this whole thing is a scam. I looked up the better business bureau of San Diego and Clinqua is not registered. I was lucky enough not to pay a cent to these people and I hope that other people will run into this forum and not fall into their TRAP.

I noticed something strange was going on when I received VERY similar emails from both Kriger and EspoirBridge.  The funny thing was, I applied to the job through EspoirBridge first, then I got to looking around for CRA certification courses and found Kriger.  Even without receiving recommendations from either company, I knew they were related by the way you are asked to verify your email address.  I started to investigate and found this wonderful thread!  Phew!  Thank goodness I didn't have enough money to register for the CRA course, yet!  Thanks to everyone for your comments!

yes Kim, I am in the same situation. This is how some people make money, by selling hope and untruthful promises. Disgusting. I hope to go back to school soon and to get rid of this kind of people.MAURICE

Thre's more concerning Cereprotec,the location is in Chigago, and the regional codefor the phone number is from Ottawa.
Highly unprofessional to ask somone to contact you urgent and then just not replying to your messages.

Just look on the bright side folks, we were lucky! Would anyone of you actually work for an employer who doesn't show any respect?
