You will never get any job from these people.They are the expert in cheating and robbing to the public over the internet.

I am not the type to take the time to post anything anywhere, but I find this important if not amusing.  I recently came across EB while looking for other opportunities within industry.  After sending my CV to what seemed like a legitimate recruitment agency, my email box has started to fill with the same spam as mentioned above including the contact from Clinqua even the same HR rep.  Something did not smell right, so I did some looking and my next email is going to be to a friend of mine in the San Diego Attorney General’s office.  Not that much can be done, but maybe a call to the "HR Manager" will make this operation worry a little.    

A few points of interest for the sake of helping others:
*For what it is worth, I am a hiring manager within industry, I am certified CCRA, and I have some years of experience.  The first email from EB implied that I needed experience, certification, and more education (I have an MS/MBA).  First Flag  

*I have outsourced to CROs for clinical studies; however, I have never heard of Clinqua until now.  After looking around on the internet, I cannot say for sure if the name Clinqua is a real CRO that somehow was drug into this, but it would seem that I would have heard of them before as my business address is XXXX La Jolla Village drive.  -Their office building should be down the street from mine.  Funny, I have never heard of a vendor that I should be going to lunch with.  Shame on their BD staff.  

*To answer a few questions I have seen, yes, you can get hired as a CRA without a certification (I have done it).  It is not as easy, but I would hire an experienced CRA with a good resume over a less experienced CRA with all the degrees and certifications out there (experience = job).  The employer should agree to pay for any certification or at least assist with paying for it.  Look to ACRA and SOCRA for resources.  Other sources are out there, but do get hooked into being a victim.  



Best of Luck

SUSAN, what can we do to get our money back? did u pay through credit card?

Wow, am I happy to find this thread. During this last week I've received several e-mails from Espoirbridge/EBRecruiters. I have a BS in Natural Sciences - Biology Major and also studied Pre-Med. First it was Monika Hoffman (I sent an updated resume to: http://www.ebrecruiters.com/cr.html) , then several from Carolyn McMurry and now several from  KRGI Clinical Research. I suspected that a scam could be involved, so today I started to look a little bit more into it and have found several sites like this one which have opened my eyes. Can't believe people take advantage of us (I'm currently unemployed) for their personal benefit. Thanks to your comments we can defend ourselves.

I find this No from 411.com

not specifically with EspoirBridge, but with another recruitment company (and not for a clinical research position). They promised to contact me as soon as they get my references (mentioned: 1 day after) but they did not do so in almost one month. Also, they lied, on one hand they confirmed they got my references but later they just denied that, even if I have proof they really received it. Probably to cover up their incompetence. Anyway, I have supporting proofs that I did everything right.Since this is unprofessional I requested they remove all my data and never call me again. Anyway, the last message from them (even if I specifically asked them not to call me again) was insulting: "short temper","lack of understanding" and "offence" (they only thing I said was that this situation proved no coordination and proper managemanent of papers.I mentioned that I don't want them to call me again, I want that they remove all my data and that any inconveniences caused by them in the future will be legally handled.To sum up, it is shocking how rude and unprofessional these people are, even if they make money from people like you. They show not respect but not even elementary education, poor manners and disgusting behaviour and therefore I decided to avoid such questionable individuals in the future.
