WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE???  Yes, I'm out of work and have been applying everywhere and I started getting e-mails from EspoirBridge Recruiters.The FIRST TIME I saw them trying to refer me, with their courteous discount, I knew this was a scam.  How?  SIMPLE.  What they were doing was blatantly unethical.  I can't believe anyone sent hundreds or thousands of dollars to these people when a little common sense and research would have proven they were scammers.  the only reason they exist is because people are stupid enough to fall for it.  Simple rule everyone is told and should know.  YOu don't have to PAY to get a job.  If you do, RED FLAG.  Come on people, wake up.  I bet for every one person that admits giving these thieves money, their are hundreds who keep quiet... minus thousands of dollars.

Shame on this organization.  I have received the same emails and promises, after reading these notes, I anticipate that I will get a pumped up email only to dumped later.  Does anyone have any suggestions how/where to find clinical research jobs?

It's very clear that EspoirBridge is a SCAM. ?The scam starts with a phony job posting for a clinical research position.  Once the scam artists receive your resume, you are then immediately being solicited to sign up for an incredibly expensive "training and certification program" in clinical research (with the implication that a well-paid job is waiting for you).  This so-called certification program is not recognized anywhere within the clinical research industry and is completely worthless.  The KRC International website claims to have US business offices in many states, including in Seattle, WA.  In the US, in order for any corporate entity to do business in a state, each state requires a registration process, and such registration information is a matter of public record.  The State of Washington is no exception in that regard.  Neither Krieger International, nor Kriger Research Center Inc., nor KRC Inc. have any sort of registration with the State of Washington. Furthermore, EspoirBridge, Kriger and Cereprotec websites have all been registered in less than two years by the same administrator. In other words, the so-called HR recruiter, the so-called professional certification provider, and the so-called biotech company where research is taking place and where your "future job" is waiting for you, are all concoctions from the same scam artists' imagination.  The worst part of these scams, aside from costing job seekers potentially thousands of dollars they can ill-afford to spend, is wasting job seekers' time while preying on their desire for a well-paying job and vulnerable emotional state.

I am so grateful to have found this thread as I was contemplating a course with them but finding that they seemed to have an "uncanny connection" with each other.  This was most evident when I submitted an application to Kriger for a scholarship and within seconds an email "magically" appeared in my inbox from EspoirBridge before I even received the automatic confirmation from Kriger.  Bear in mind that I had not mentioned EspoirBridge in my scholarsip application at any point!!!  Very interesting!

Also I do have a certification and some limited research experience but the letter was written as though it were a form letter and reiterated comments about how I had "no experience."   Smells very funny---

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?

oh my goodness.  I've actually spoken with Lisa Hoyea and we talked about the positions and kriger.  She later sent me an email saying that someone from Pharamalef wants to speak with me.  How can I report this as fraudelent.  My hopes were really up
