For the past seven years, Veristat has participated in Memorial Sloan Kettering's Cycle for Survival, the movement to beat rare cancers. Founded in partnership with Equinox fitness club back in 2006, this ground-breaking research fundraiser celebrated its 15th anniversary in 2021 and has raised nearly three hundred million dollars for rare cancer research to date.
Looking back, 2020 has taught us all a few lessons we were not expecting to learn.
Veristat is proud to have participated in the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s Light The Night Walk for the fourth year in a row. This year, for the first time, Veristat participated in two walk locations: Boston and Toronto!
It’s mid-afternoon on a Thursday, and you’re at your desk. You have important work to do, but your attention is wandering, and you can’t seem to get the motivation you need to get anything done.
At Veristat our need to manage and work in virtual environments continues to increase. With six offices globally and nearly 300 employees, we are building teams with members spread out in different physical locations. Our geographically dispersed teams continue to grow with our increasing remote employee population; In fact remote workers are our largest growing population with nearly 30 % of our employees working from their home offices.
For a fifth consecutive year, Team Veristat accepted this challenge in the 2019 Boston #cycleforsurvival event! We exceeded our goal of raising $50,000 to support rare cancer research.
As a scientifically oriented and impactful full-service clinical research organization (CRO) that is committed to partnering with pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and medical device firms to advance their therapies throughout the entire clinical development and regulatory submission process, Veristat works each day with a focus on improving the lives of patients with rare cancers.
As a Talent Acquisition Consultant for Veristat, I receive many cover letters and resumes from candidates each day. I am often blown away by the experience, knowledge, and expertise of these individuals and always hope to match their skill sets to one of our current openings.

With the summer in full swing, vacations and long weekends by the pool are top of mind.
Although we all have the best intentions to use our paid time off each year, it is also not a secret that Americans are truly terrible at taking time off. According to Project: Time Off, 52% of American employees reported having unused vacation days at the end of 2017.
