“I have had the privilege to work with John since we originally connected in 2006, first as a job seeker and then as a resource to help the business I was working for. He holds a high professional standard and is very knowledgeable. John offers a personal service with a focus on the details required for a quality hire that is appreciated by his clients. His approach and his experience allow him to support his clients in a way that stands apart. With the value his services can bring I would recommend John to anyone looking for support with their recruitment or overall talent management goals.“
