Anybody know if  we can report this somewhere? If this is a scam I think people should know.

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.

Hmmmm.  I received an email for a CRA position today from the following company:
ClinQua Clinical Trials Inc.
4370 La Jolla Village Drive
San Diego, 92122-1249
Tel.  (858) 605-1793
www.clinqua.com
a.bale @ clinqua.com
USA
Didn't "bite" because the vagueness of the job description set off alarm bells, so did a search on better business bureau website and a few other places and this company did not show up anywhere.  Another scam??  Has anyone received something similar from this, "company"?

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

Yea, I had the same emails from Espior and Cereprotec. Actually I did spoke to someone on that number for an initial screening interview, where I was told that if shortlisted I would be contacted by March end. But than 2 days  nlater I got an email from Cereprotec asking that they urgently need to fill-up the positions and I need to call them immediately. But then I had the same story, voice mail is full and nobody replies to your email.

I have been trapped by Kriger with repeated phone calls from Cereprotec and Espiorbridge Recruiters saying that they find my resume good for the career in clinical research.
Then they have given couple of people assignment to contact me few times on my cell phone and pretending that it is preliminary interview.
Then someone from their Huntsville, Ontario office has called me for my payment information.
Unfortunately I have paid USD1600.00 for the online course of clinical research certification with ICH GCP certification.
These people are so smart that they even made contract with ACRP foundation to make every Kriger graduate to register for ACRP membership for the first year. This is also make me completely idiot as ACRP later on told me that the organization never accept or even acknowledge the certification from Kriger.
So, my USD1600.00 went down the drain.
Then, I sent them a strong email regarding this scam, as I was getting an email from Espoirbridge, Cereprotec and IBPA saying that there is a position of CRA in Phase I clinical trial. You have ot do the course from KRGI.
These people cheat, and one of the number one fraud organization in cheating variety of individuals on internet. Do not respond to their emails. Just report it to scam busters.
