Recruiter sent my CV to Parexel HR, one day later I had a very nice telphone interview. Another day later I went to a face-to-face interview in the Berlin office. I received an offer for a CRA 1 position some days later. The contract was sent about three weeks after that.

I went through an outside recruiter. She reviewed my resume and told I would be a good fit for the position. We reviewed my resume and she took down some notes before she forwarded my resume to Parexel. In a few days later, I had a telephone chat with the outside recruiter's manager. We talked and she asked me some questions about my resume and she also asked what I did at a monitoring visit. I was scheduled for a telephone interview with HR personnel from Parexel and it went pretty well. At least I felt comfortable answering the questions. I also had the opportunity of asking a lot about the company.
