What Clients Say

"You could go an entire career and not come across a recruiting talent like Jonathan. Jonathan recruited me for a role during his time at SPS International. One might be skeptical of a young recruiter like Jonathan at first glance, but over the course of the time that we worked together, he showed himself to be a star. I began to admire Jonathan for his diligence and his work ethic.

With an 8 hour time difference between us, Jonathan was available and engaged throughout the recruiting process with a level of care that is uncommon across the recruiting profession. He is the consummate professional and carries himself with poise, composure, and care for his clients. You will never feel like you're just another commission check for him. The best part is that he's still early in his career and growing at an impressive trajectory. Our interactions left an impression on me that shaped my own behaviour."

What Clients Say

"I met Sam Farrell as a specialised head-hunter for the animal nutritional and animal health industry, and from the first moment his networking in the sector and his advices were important to stand out as a candidate. Sam was aware of every detail and his recommendations and support allowed me to succeed at each phase of the hiring process.

We even met before each interview and presentation to be sure I had the right information so it was easier to nail it down. I recommend Sam as a great head-hunter but also he was a great and funny person to work with."

What Clients Say

"Sam was my headhunter during the recruiting process in Novus. During the time we have shared, he has shown me that he is not only an excellent professional but also an excellent person.

He has always been close, attentive and understanding throughout the process, getting the best agreement for both me and the company. With his continued concern Sam has passed from being my head hunter to being my friend. Thanks for everything Sam!"
