Jonathan Thomas Email & Phone Number

Jonathan is a Director of Recruiting at Hawthorne Executive Search that focuses on recruiting for a wide variety of advertising agencies. After working as a college recruiter for a University for nearly 4 years, Jonathan brings a unique blend of interviewing, communication, non-profit, and brand representation experience to the table.Philosophically, Jonathan believes that a candidate must not only be qualified for a position, but also be a fit for the company’s culture and mission. In general, advertising agencies stand alone in terms of the need for creative talent and outside-of-the-box thinkers. This is even truer for the account manager/strategy positions that must act as liaison between the agency and the client. Jonathan understands and appreciates this critical factor in the recruitment process for advertising agencies, which results in him finding a smaller group of highly qualified and committed candidates for the agency to review.In his tenure at Hawthorne Jonathan has worked on searches nationwide and actively recruits in the advertising space, as well as other select searches outside of this vertical, building up a strong database of candidates. Some representative searches he works on are:- Account Managers/Coordinators (all levels)- Advertising Directors- Creative Directors - C-level PositionsJonathan is committed to recruiting for the long term and is always happy to speak with or advise a hiring manager or candidate who is looking for the right fit. The fact that the professionals that he places within agencies have such a huge impact on and work with such a wide variety of companies is the most satisfying part of his job.Jonathan has a bachelor’s and master’s degree from John Carroll University in Cleveland, Ohio. When he isn't searching for candidates and marketing to potential clients he’s big into working out and loves spending quality time with his wife Rachel, his beagle Bella, and his cat Felix (creative name, I know).
