Meet John

Senior Consultant

I specialise in Design and Creative recruitment and bring 30 years of experience.

I genuinely still get a buzz from finding someone a new role, and from the high level of satisfaction and sense of a “job well done” for both the client and the candidate once the brief is completed.

I also love the many small steps along the way, from that first introduction with a client you’ve never met, through to the moment a candidate starts their new role. Recruitment is a role where you can achieve a number of small goals every day, and those small achievements still give me a real daily sense of satisfaction.

Top tip for candidates and/or clients

Feedback and communication is key. Work 'with' the recruiter, not against them. 

If I Were a Brand I’d Be

I would be Cook. A brand with great values and integrity, that truly walks the talk, and they make great food!

Out of Office You’ll Find Me

You'll find me on the tennis court, golf course, in the garden or in the kitchen.(and sometimes the dog house!)
