Success stories

Alex was incredible to work with. The quality of candidates he put forward were great and who we ended up with was top quality and a great addition to the team. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Alex and the team for your recruitment needs.

Michelle R, Client

Alex Cooper changed my view of the benefits a recruiter can provide. He learned about me and genuinely sought to match the needs of the employer and the candidate (me!). He was thorough, provided excellent lines of communication, was responsive, and assisted both parties to ask the right questions. He repeatedly checked in with me to ensure that I was happy with the opportunity, the process, and repeatedly encouraged me to consider deeply whether the opportunity aligned with my values and priorities. Although I still don’t think all that differently overall about the recruitment industry, I can wholeheartedly recommend Alex and Johnson Recruitment as exemplifying what recruiters SHOULD be doing.

Phillip B, Candidate

I would like to thank Lisa and Barry for delivering an exceptional recruitment experience throughout the process. Their communication was transparent, timely, and thoughtful at every stage. I particularly appreciated the genuine interest they showed not just in my skills and experience, but in my long-term aspirations, motivation, and cultural fit.

Both Lisa and Barry ensured I was well prepared for the interviews with clear context, guidance, and honest insights. Their professionalism, responsiveness, and personal warmth made the entire journey smooth and confidence-building. I am truly grateful for their support and would highly recommend them and Johnson Recruitment to both candidates and employers seeking a high-quality, people-centric recruitment partnership.
