Jon’s ideal Saturday looks like…
Having a late brunch, then getting ready to head into the city with my brother for dinner and a gig.

Kelsey Ellis, People & Culture Coordinator at HammerTechClient"Excellent experience working with Jon & Romey! Quality candidates were brought forward, and we really appreciated the concise and direct but frequent communication. They did a great job covering every detail, taking the pressure off us to get this role filled.
Jo Knight, VP Product & Industry Marketing at Bentley SystemsClient"I thoroughly enjoyed working with Romey and Jon on recruitment for a senior role in my team. Great communication and I thought the calibre of candidates they brought were very high and had done a great job of doing the ground work ahead of me meeting any of them. They understood what I needed and were able to flex when some of our parameters changed. Professional, very down to earth…
Bruno AlbosCandidate"It was a real pleasure being supported by Jon during the recruitment process. He was kind, reactive and effective !
Aaron LucidCandidate"I had the pleasure of working with Jon on a role he recently approached me for, which I am now happily in. What stood out to me was how Jon focused on understanding whether the opportunity was truly the right fit for me, rather than trying to push it, which is something I've experienced with other recruitment consultants in the past. Once we moved into the interview process and through…
Michel Seeger, Managing Director at VemaventuriClient"Worked with Jon in parallel on several roles for our growing ConTech business and he helped filling two roles (working on the third) with incredible candidates and through a very smooth process. Tackling new geographies, the recruiting was challenging for us, but from the early discovery both Jon and also Romey made the process extremely easy for us. The search and briefing of the candidates was excellent and Jon supported…
Nitin Bhandari, CEO at Planera, IncClient"Great overall experience. Listen to my feedback and adjusted process and pipeline accordingly. Just the right amount of help to close the candidate

Hugo FullerCandidate"Jon was a breeze to work with throughout my hiring process. I always felt like I was in the loop and that Jon had my corner. I highly recommend Jon and his team and wouldn't hesitate to leverage LMRE services in future.
James LawrenceCandidate"10/10. Jon sold an incredible opportunity to me without any unnecessary hyperbole. He knew I'd understand how good the role is straight away. Facilited all meetings perfectly and made himself available whenever I needed a chat.
Levi BrownCandidate"Jon connected me with a fantastic opportunity that aligned perfectly with my skills and career aspirations. What truly set him apart was his ability to listen attentively, understanding what mattered most to me. He didn’t just find me a role - he carefully matched my experience and priorities with the right opportunity, ensuring a great fit. His insight, professionalism, and genuine commitment made the entire process seamless and rewarding. I…
Sara Pope, Senior Director of Enablement at KahuaClient"Jon at LMRE made finding the perfect candidate feel like a breeze. It was a net new role on my team, so the scope was a little broad and undefined. As the hiring manager, it was more of a "I'll know it when I see it" type of thing. Jon helped me really dig in on the most critical parts of the role and surfaced several great candidates! I ended…
Jakob WeigeleCandidate"Jon found me on LinkedIn and got me a perfect fitting job. He did strongly represent me in the hiring process, helped me a lot and took so much care to get the best possible deal. Thanks a lot!!

Thanks for all your guidance Jon it is definitely appreciated!"

Communication was well structured, concise and at the right frequency - always ensuring we are keeping the pace and interest for the sake of keeping great candidates interested! Last not least - it is always a great amount of fun working and communicating with Jon, without it being any less professional. Having worked with a few recruitment agencies, this is by far the moste valuable and professional experience I have had. In short: there is a reason Jon goes by the nickname "Concrete King"."

Jon helped me really dig in on the most critical parts of the role and surfaced several great candidates! I ended up hiring someone that came through LMRE and it's been a great fit all around. I've even had 3rd party organizations tell me what a slam dunk hire it was! I'd recommend any hiring manager or HR team to work with Jon if they want to find incredible talent, especially in such a niche space like ConTech! Jon really took the headache out of hiring for me."
