Chris Sobocinski Medical Device
“A Philosophy Major from the University of Central Florida, I employ a cerebral approach to headhunting. Throughout my career, I have been able to conceptualize my client’s needs and culture. Utilizing this method in recruiting, I have met with great success in surfacing highly qualified candidates and matching them to my client’s desires while creating true synergy. It is through such forward thinking and dedication that we at MRI Life Sciences have become true industry insiders and maintain strong partnerships with leading organizations in the Medical Device and Biopharmaceutical industries.
Specializing in all functions of Sales, Marketing and Business Development, I am both the leading recruiter that companies reach out to in building or top-grading their team, and similarly, the trusted ally confided in by passive and active candidates alike. A more dedicated and networked recruiter you will not find; I attend national tradeshows and conferences, maintain active memberships with industry groups and associations, visible on the leading edge of new and innovative trends in social media.
I sustain daily communication with leading professionals who, over time, have built solid relationships with me and my team. It is through these relationships that I am able to quickly analyze and target potential career opportunities that will ensure my clients are receiving the most qualified, motivated talent while concurrently, furthering people’s careers. For the past five years, I have successfully completed hundreds of searches and possess an unparalleled network of candidates. I work in all therapeutic areas with corporate giants and small start-ups, non-profits and publicly traded companies alike.”

I am an internet researcher that works for a nationally recognized executive recruiting firm, Search Max, part of the MRI network. I hold a BA in Sociology from the University of Florida and I have been with this organization for over 10 years. I have found a love for the art of the online hunt and can find the “unfindable”.
I scour the internet looking to identify a variety of websites to seek out current job postings, executive management bios, company history, basically any pertinent information that may prove useful for the account executive to execute an educated call contact. My main focus is on sourcing passive and active candidates with backgrounds in the industries that we specialize in.
