No doubt John will also continue to play to his strengths, utilising knowledge of talent requirements across multiple industries." and "After 15 very happy years with my employer, my decision to look for a new role was an extremely challenging prospect for John. My criteria for my new role was incredibly demanding with but John took the time to understand my requests and ensured that any role presented would match what I was looking for. John showed excellent knowledge, explaining the organisation’s culture, vision and values, organisational structure and key stakeholders. He asked insightful questions and was keen to explore, up front, whether the role would be a good fit for me as well as assessing my knowledge and skills for the role. After putting me forward for the role and throughout the recruitment process, John kept me fully informed – quickly responding to any queries I had, providing me with feedback from the interview and checking throughout that I had all the information that I needed to make a decision about the role. Having completed my first week in my new role, John is still checking my progress and is happy to help ensure that my transition is as smooth as possible. I would thoroughly recommend John to potential candidates – he made what can often be a stressful process into a smooth and rewarding experience.""
