ABOUT

We know our success rests on reinforcing yours

We’re focused on helping you outperform your market by building the senior teams and delivering the business transformation you need.

Launched in 2016, we’ve established a reputation and reach that’s seen us grow rapidly. And over the next three years, we plan to more than double in size while still retaining our boutique feel. Our success is down to our agility, integrity and teamwork – plus a deep understanding of our specialist areas.

Each division acts as an extension of our clients’ organisations and offers services that span retained search, contingent recruitment, interim management and boutique consulting.

We help you harness the power of diversity

Holding hands graffiti

It’s well established. Diversity & Inclusion fuels creativity, creates opportunity and drives profitability. It’s also right and fair. So we build diverse cohorts of candidates from different talent pools. We manage the entire hiring process, from start to finish, inclusively. Part of that involves advising on what you can do to give your candidates a positive experience at every stage.

We also give our consultants ongoing D&I training so they understand how the way we think can affect an assignment’s outcome. This helps empower them to attract and represent a genuinely diverse candidate pool.

We’re professional from start to finish

We tailor our searches to your brief and the way you like to work. And while we can deliver shortlists quickly, we never cut corners. We make sure we always achieve the best possible results by following a carefully thought through, step-by-step process.

Discovery

We invest time in gaining a comprehensive understanding of your business challenges and the role. We offer insights into its specific needs and the skills it calls for.

Strategy

Working to your timescales, and capitalising on a network that’s been built over decades, we devise searches based on curated, dynamic market mapping. We also follow a deep and complete due diligence process that makes sure only the best candidates get to your door.

Delivery

We present you with a shortlist of keen, qualified candidates who are an excellent fit for both the role and the culture, so you have real options to consider.

Candidate interviews

We manage and help co-ordinate the interviews of every candidate that you select from our shortlist.

Offer management and referencing

We manage each selected candidate through contract negotiations, working closely with you to make sure the process is swift and smooth. If you’d like us to, we can carry out a thorough referencing process.

Quality assurance

We treat compliance and quality assurance seriously at JSS and always formally validate candidates’ credentials. Wherever possible, we take ‘soft references’ as well as formal references. ‘Soft references’ come from peers, direct reports and immediate managers and often add greater insight.

We have a culture that inspires

Our agile, entrepreneurial culture is underpinned by the professionalism and maturity that comes with an experienced team. It’s built on the following values:

  • Humility
  • Integrity
  • Honest & Open
  • Respect

Humility

Every voice matters in shaping our success.

Making time for people and recognising their unique value leads to optimal outcomes. We are committed to actively listening and adapting to evolving market needs.

Integrity

Act ethically and responsibly.

Integrity is the cornerstone of all we do. We adhere to high ethical standards, ensuring transparency and fairness with clients and candidates. Our consistency builds trust.

Honest & Open

Foster a culture of transparency.

We promote honest communication and open information exchange, providing candid feedback to help facilitate informed decisions. We ensure stakeholders understand the rationale behind our recommendations.

Respect

Value diversity and promote inclusivity.

We treat every individual with dignity and professionalism, celebrating their unique perspectives and contributions.
