Jon helped me to find my perfect position at JBR Capital, and I can't thank him enough. Not only is Jon's industry knowledge 2nd to none, he handled my on boarding with complete professionalism and care. Thanks my friend !

 

The time and attention Jon provides to find the right role is second to none. He's a quality recruiter and his efforts continue until you are completely settled in your new role. Jon's professional but personable approach helps to make the job searching process as smooth as it should be. It's been a pleasure working with Jon on more than one occasion in my career.

Jon D’Costa is a very understanding, positive recruiter who takes on board exactly what you’re looking for and puts you forward for the right roles. He kept me positive through the selection process and the end result is a new job with a great company. Thanks Jon. I couldn’t have done it without you.

Thank you for all your help and support during my search for employment - it has been greatly appreciated. The service you have provided has been very professional and you have kept me posted throughout the process, which unfortunately I cannot say the same about many recruitment consultants.

Jon sourced me the role at Aldermore and aside from being particuarly pleased as it was exactly what I was looking for, I found him to stand out from the other recruiters I dealt with in terms of being honest, calling when he had promised, unfortunately not many seem to manage this More importantly the main differentiator was his genuine knowledge and experience of the financial services sector - again not many seem to grasp this so he really stood out to me and I wouldn't hesitate to use him again, and have already recommedned him directly to several friends - thanks Jon

'I have been privileged to work with Jon since 1995. It was at that time that Jon placed me in my first Management position. I have used Jon's services a number of times since then and was delighted to finally meet him this year when he endorsed my current position as Head of recruitment for a National Mortgage and Protection Specialist. I have found Jon to be one of the most knowledgable people in our industry. His integrity is second to none and he always strives to ensure that both the employer and the applicant are a good fit for each other. He is a very straight talking person and as such I could call him an honoury "Northener", but I won't because of his accent.If you are an employer or a candidate you will always find that Jon will give you a first class service and perhaps that is why people come back to use his services time and time again. From first using Jon as a candidate and now using him as an employer if you follow my recommendation in using Jon you will never have any regrets.'

I first used Jon over 10 years ago to get my first job in Financial Services. Over the past 10 years, I have lost count of the number of times he has helped with searches for new positions or even just advice on my next steps. He is always honest (sometimes tells you what you dont want to hear), but invariably he is right. I would and don't hesitate in recommending to Jon to friends, family, colleagues & business associates. He is wise & probably one of the most knowledgeable people I know in the industry.

Jon is an ultimate professional. He has worked on several projects for me in the past and delivered excellent candidates that have gone on to produce a good level of quality business.

"I have dealt with Jon for the last year. He takes time to understand our business and our needs and then identifies candidates that fit our criteria. This has been invaluable to me because I can interview the candidates he puts forward with the confidence and knowledge that the candidate fits the role we are recruiting for."

Jon has worked with me as a fellow non-executive director and adviser to the management team at Mortgage Options. His speciality is in recruitment but he has demonstrated impressive strategic skills allied to independence of thought. He can analyse issues quickly and will state his opinions/views candidly and constructively.

'I would highly recommend Jon as a person of integrity and honesty with excellent connections.'

I have received excellent service from Jon and his team. 
After initially forwarding my CV details to Jon, I received a full telephone interview from him to asses my skills and what I wanted to achieve. 
Jon kept in constant contact with me and fully prepared me for the interviews he put me forward for. 
As a result of this, I quickly secured a position which completely meets my needs. I would urge anyone who has found the normal route of recruitment unsatisfactory and disheartening to contact Jon without delay.

"John offers a very personal placement service by understanding the individuals needs and matching both parties appropriately. He is very thorough in his communication and meticulous at each stage of the journey. A true gent who takes a lot of time and care in the placement of his candidates.
