Davina is a pleasure to work with from start to finish. She has spent time getting to know me and the team and as a result has been able to fulfil our recruitment needs effectively on each occasion that we have worked with her. Davina’s attention to the details and her ability to communicate effectively with both ourselves and the candidates has ensured that both parties have had an excellent experience. I really can’t thank you enough Davina. I really do love working with you.

Before working with JHR, we were overwhelmed with unsuitable CVs, wasting valuable time interviewing candidates who simply weren't the right fit. Davina completely transformed our recruitment process by taking the time to understand our requirements and only introducing candidates who had been carefully vetted and were genuinely suited to both the role and our business. This significantly reduced our workload, saved us time and money, and removed much of the frustration that often comes with recruitment. I would recommend JHR without hesitation.

When we started to work with JHR we were struggling to find talented people that fitted our culture. We also had an organisational structure that needed to evolve and scale with our growth. My favourite part of working with JH Recruitment is the collaborative partnership. They are more than a one-off recruitment partner. We discussed culture, overall organisation structure, and also considered how that would evolve over time. Once we had that long-term plan, JHR helped us specify the roles and deliver the best candidates. I think having a collaborative recruitment partner that wants to understands your vision, objectives, and culture is critical. JHR have been that for us for nearly a decade which is testament to the quality of support they delivery for us.

I began working with Davina at Jo Holdsworth Recruitment in November 2025 when appointing an Operations Director. Having previously experienced poor service and irrelevant candidates from recruiters, I was sceptical. Davina quickly impressed me, presenting a candidate who matched the brief perfectly and to whom I made an offer. In January, I asked her to support with a challenging Managing Director brief requiring a specific skill set and events background. Within three days, she had shortlisted two excellent candidates, and within a week, I made an offer. The full process took just three weeks, far quicker than expected. I would highly recommend Davina and Jo Holdsworth Recruitment. She is professional, efficient and thorough, and will be my first point of contact for any future recruitment needs.

I really enjoyed working with Davina. It was a breath of fresh air compared to experiences with other agencies and executives. Please just keep doing what you're doing! Many thanks.
