Feedback from recently placed candidate Craig.

With all the anxiety that comes with applying for a job nowadays, something I truly appreciate was being guided and cared for by Theo. He kept me updated through the entire – and not successful – process. Not all recruiters are people-person orientated, so there is a high value in what this company does for people.

Satisfied candidate

“Working with John was a great experience. From the outset, he was incredibly well-prepared, which immediately put me at ease and boosted my confidence prior to a crucial interview. His genuine interest in my career aspirations and job search was evident throughout.

John’s deep understanding of the industry, coupled with his insightful grasp of what both employers and employees are looking for, makes him a standout consultant.

I am very grateful for the support and expertise John provided, and I recommend his services to anyone looking to enter the job market. His first-class knowledge and experience are invaluable assets to both job seekers and hiring organisations alike.”

Genuinely interested in me!

Career changes are challenging and need to be well through through, especially when the change entails an industry change. John was a responsible thought partner through the process, demonstrating consideration for professional, family, employer and employee elements. John’s calm and thoughtful support through the negotiation & decision was really appreciated, especially considering we never met in person!

A responsible thought partner.

Thank you for the outstanding support I received during my job interview process.
