We’ve been working with Jo Holdsworth Recruitment for a couple of years, but our activity really ramped up in 2025. The quality of candidates has been consistently good, resulting in a number of successful hires. Much of this is thanks to Emily, who takes the time to understand our requirements and listens carefully to our briefs. My favourite part of the process is the openness and honesty that Emily brings. She knows how important it is to me not to waste time, so she’s always upfront. If a candidate isn’t right, she’ll say so, and if she thinks someone is a great fit, she’ll explain exactly why I should meet them. Emily is a fantastic consultant who truly listens to her clients, knows her candidates well, and consistently does a great job. She respects my time and adapts to my preferred ways of working, which I really appreciate.
