Alex Stanford

Senior Account Consultant

I joined QCS Staffing in 2017 after completing a degree in Business Management from Swansea University. I began my career as a Delivery Executive, before transitioning into a Business Development role focused on expanding our client base. Over the past few years, I’ve contributed to growing our brand across the Nordic region.

In August 2025, I relocated to our U.S. office in North Carolina, where I manage strategic relationships with key pharmaceutical and biotech clients. My role involves supporting their capital investment projects by connecting them with top-tier contract talent.

Outside of work, I’m a huge Liverpool supporter and enjoy both watching and playing football. I also love travelling and attending house music events and festivals.

Alex is a true asset to QCS and to any team she represents

As a contractor I regularly work closely with recruitment professionals looking for my next roles. I have recently worked with Alex and find her standout in her professionalism and approach. It really was fantastic to feel appreciate as a client by her and the QCS team. Alex is meticulous and really understands the client and type of candidate required. Alex was clear in defining the role specification and identifying the key asks required and kept me regularly up to date during the recruitment process. A wonderful quality Alex has is to treat you as a friend. Alex is a true asset to QCS and to any team she represents.

Always was professional and helpful on every topic or concer

Always was professional and helpful on every topic. Always would give an answer and if he don’t know he would navigate to right people. Never let me down or forgot about me. Extremely good work ethics and would work with him over and over. We need more people like him in all industries !

A pleasure to deal with since the start of the hiring process

Alex was hugely helpful in the recruitment process for my current engineering role in the pharmaceutical industry and extremely knowledgable about the industry, relocation and onboarding process.

Alex has been a pleasure to deal with since the start of the hiring process and continues to provide exceptional support to date. I would absolutely recommend Alex to anyone in search of a new role in the pharmaceutical industry.

A truly professional service
A truly professional service! I had the greatest experience with QCS in terms of application to a job, preparation for an interview, providing constant feedback afterward, informing me about the next steps and just casually checking-in to see how I am. I would truly recommend QCS to anyone who wants professionalism with quick and constant feedback. A great experience, thank you Janis!

Ben clearly takes pride in his job and I enjoyed our collaboration very much
Ben was my point of contact person in QCS for approximately 12 months and throughout that period we had frequent interactions both in relation to my own assignment as well as various resource needs I had on the project I was leading for a big pharmaceutical company.  Ben often checked in with me to make sure everything was fine, and to hear if I had any resource needs he could help with. He always did that in a very professional and non-pushy way with a good sense of both the clients situation as well as mine, and any special circumstances at that given point in time. Ben clearly takes pride in his job and I enjoyed our collaboration very much.
