Our approach.

Operational and people-focused appointments require far more than matching a CV to a job description.


We invest heavily in market-leading recruitment technology, including LinkedIn Recruiter, Recruiter Plus, Talent Insights, Sales Navigator and AI-powered search tools, enabling us to identify exceptional professionals who may never actively apply for a vacancy.


Combined with proactive headhunting, extensive candidate networks and genuine relationship building, our consultative approach ensures every appointment strengthens your organisation both operationally and culturally.

Frequently asked questions.

  • What is the difference between business operations and business support recruitment?

    Business support roles generally focus on administrative, executive and office support. Business operations roles often carry broader responsibility for processes, projects, facilities, service delivery or day-to-day organisational performance. Some positions overlap, so JHR will define the most suitable category during the briefing process.

  • Do you recruit senior operations professionals?

    Yes. JHR recruits operational professionals from coordinator and executive level through to operations managers, regional operations managers, business operations managers and other senior operational appointments.

  • How do you recruit for business operations roles?

    The process starts with understanding how the organisation currently operates, what the role must improve and which stakeholders it will support. JHR then uses direct search, professional networks, advertising and proactive outreach to identify candidates with the right operational, commercial and interpersonal skills.

  • Can you support temporary or interim operations requirements?

    Yes. JHR can provide temporary, contract and interim Operations professionals where a business needs short-term capacity, project support, cover during change or specialist experience for a defined period.
