Great listener, great soft skills. It is a pleasure working with Jon because he is effective and much more pleasant to do business with than many of the agency points of contact out there. Honest, good listener, not bothersome, and gets the job done.

Genuinely impressed and I’m hard to please. Jon gets it. He sends quality not quantity, listens to what you ask for, drives without being pushy, and finds the good talent that isn’t always looking.

A recruitment specialist you can trust that doesn’t push too hard to get the next bum on a seat is difficult to come by in my experience. Jon is one of the rare ones. He builds relationships first, understands his customers well and shows excellent empathy.
