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 can highly recommend partnering with Johnson Recruitment either as an employer or an executive seeking their next career move. Barry, Alex and the team offer a highly tailored approach that is genuinely people and fit focused. A rare gem in a landscape of mostly transactional executive recruitment firms.

Alex was an excellent support from my first contact to successfully securing the position. He was clear about what I should expect and kept in touch during the whole process. Alex reminded me that the interview process was also a chance for me to check whether or not the organisation and it’s people were a good fit for me!
Would definitely work with him again.
