NEW YORK CITY – July 22, 2009 – The Tom Ruff Company, one of the country’s top firms specializing in recruiting medical device and pharmaceutical sales and sales management personnel, has launched an Employment Coaching and Resume Writing division.

The new division, headed by 15-year executive recruiting veteran Paul Cox, will allow the Tom Ruff Company to focus on delivering detail-oriented, highly personalized employment coaching to candidates throughout the country. While the Tom Ruff Company will continue to meet the needs of its healthcare clients, the new division will assist job-seekers in all industries.

“Over the past several months our company has been deluged with calls and emails from people who are struggling to find a job. The first thing we challenge them to do is to rethink almost everything they’ve ever learned about the traditional job search. There is nothing traditional about today’s job market,” said President and CEO Tom Ruff.

A preferred recruiter for more than 100 of the largest medical device and pharmaceutical companies in the country, the Tom Ruff Company is broadening its practice to work with job-seekers regardless of their industry with its one-on-one coaching program, while still offering the same highly personalized service and attention to detail that the company is known for within the healthcare sector.

“Though we have always specialized in medical and pharmaceutical sales, we realize that job-seekers in all sectors need coaching, and that many of the same skills apply,” said Ruff. “That’s why we’re excited about being able to help candidates across all industries by sharing the wisdom we’ve earned in 20 years of placing over 3,200 candidates in careers with companies like Johnson and Johnson, Abbott Laboratories, Pfizer, Medtronic and Boston Scientific.”

Paul Cox will lead the new division and can be contacted at 310-802-8165 or via
