I have had the pleasure of working with Jon during my search for a new role in the executive pool; Jon is incredibly supportive, helpful, and knowledgeable in career placement. He not only has presented me with opportunities that fit my background and would continue to grow my career; he has gone above and beyond in preparing me for interviews and being an ear to listen while I continue my search. It has been wonderful working with someone who truly cares about my career needs and takes the time to support my future. I would highly recommend Jon for any recruiting and job placement needs.

Ultimately, he has his best interests in placing the right person in the right role - which is a win for both the candidate and the employer.
Permy S, Executive Recruiter
In a sea of recruitment partners, Jon & his firm stand out as one of the best. I built a relationship with Jon over 8 years ago as he helped me obtain my first Corporate Recruiting role as an Executive Recruiter with ZS Associates. We remain in close contact today as Jon always has a pulse on the talent market, is extremely well-networked with some of the best businesses in the Chicagoland area, and is very knowledgeable about the talent acquisition and Human Resources industry. Jon invested a lot of time with me from our initial phone conversation to working with me through every step of the interview process, including offer negotiation. He took an interest in me, listened intently to what I sought in my career journey, and delivered. You can tell Jon has incredible relationships with his client partners and knows them intimately, which greatly helped me prepare for my interviews. He is a great communicator, detail-oriented, and very responsive with feedback. I highly recommend Jon if you are seeking a new job opportunity or are looking to hire for your team and need a recruitment partner who delivers.
