I was headhunted by Jon for a Marketing Manager position, and I had a really positive experience working with him throughout the process. He was personable, professional and supportive from start to finish. I felt well guided throughout the process and would highly recommend Jon to anyone looking for a recruiter who is both effective and a pleasure to work with. -
I’ve had a great experience working with Brand Recruitment, and particularly Steve, who supported me in building out my marketing team with consistently strong candidates. He was professional, thorough, and clearly took the time to understand my brief each time I used their services. I’d highly recommend Brand Recruitment to any marketing leader looking to hire high-quality talent.

Steve at Brand was a great recruiter to work with. I went through a 3 stage interview and after each round Steve shared direct and honest feedback which helped me to tailor my thinking for the next stage. It's something I probably wouldn't have had if I went directly via the employer. It was a pleasure working with Steve, always chatty, personable and happy to be a sounding board- which made the whole process much more relaxed!
