Managing Director Tracey Gmoser is a dedicated recruiter with extensive market and industry knowledge and more than 20 years experience. She manages the pharmaceutical permanent placement business at Smith Hanley Associates, LLC, and continues to recruit in her niche specialty- biostatistics.

Tracey joined SHA in 1984 and her long-term working relationships with clients allow her to offer an exceptional knowledge base of industry trends and contacts. It’s our niche philosophy that makes Smith Hanley unique, she says. Our clients and candidates always work with the recruiter best suited to meet their needs.

Tracey attributes much of her team’s success to a seasoned recruiting staff. Candidates and clients work with the same recruiter for years, she says. We track a candidate's experience and accomplishments and present appropriate career opportunities with on-going career planning. Our clients know we are representing their company and opportunity accurately in the marketplace, says Tracey.

Prior to joining SHA, Tracey was a manager at Merrill Lynch where she worked as a client liaison and learned to manage expectations, anticipate problems and push for solutions. She has a BS in business from the University of Wisconsin.
