Services Offered
What direct-approach headhunting covers
A proactive search built on market mapping, discretion, and genuine candidate engagement.
Market Mapping
Jonathan builds a clear picture of where the right talent sits, by company, role, and seniority, before any outreach begins.
Discreet Outreach
He approaches passive candidates personally and confidentially, protecting both your brand and theirs.
Candidate Engagement
Jonathan sells the opportunity honestly, surfaces real motivations, and keeps strong candidates engaged through the process.
Fit Validation
Hogan and DISC assessment confirms that early interest translates into the right long-term fit before you commit.
How we work
How a direct-approach search runs
Jonathan starts by defining the exact profile and the companies most likely to hold it, then maps the market role by role.
He approaches each target directly, qualifies motivation and fit, and presents a shortlist of people you would not have reached through advertising alone.
Frequently asked questions
Still have questions?
How does Jonathan run a search?
Every mandate starts with a clear brief: the role, the team, and what success looks like. From there Jonathan maps the market, approaches the right candidates directly, and assesses them with Hogan and DISC before presenting a focused shortlist.
What roles and sectors does he cover?
From frontline specialists to C-suite leaders, across construction, finance, IT, sales, engineering, and more. Jonathan recruits for organizations of every size, from high-growth SMEs to companies of more than 22,000 employees.
What makes his approach different?
Precision over volume. Jonathan does not flood you with resumes; he identifies the few people who genuinely fit the role and the culture, backed by validated psychometric assessment and a feel for people that comes from a background in industrial relations.
How long does a search take?
It depends on the seniority and the scarcity of the profile, but Jonathan works every mandate with focus and keeps you informed at each step, so the process moves without the usual friction.
Does he only recruit, or can he build hiring functions too?
Both. Beyond filling a role, Jonathan can run your recruitment end to end, plan succession, and build internal HR and employer-brand functions, which he has done from the ground up as a Director of Human Resources.
How do you get started with Jonathan?
It starts with a conversation. Tell Jonathan about the role you need to fill, and he will tell you exactly how he would approach the search before you commit to anything.
