This enabled us to successfully scale up the development team in London to 65 and two brand new development centres in Leeds and Amsterdam. When new recruitment needs arose, John ran workshops to help us understand precisely what skills were needed which led to a more focused recruitment process, creating teams with a balanced skill set. Overall John is a great listener and communicator, and has been a key part of building world class development teams at DAZN.”

“I worked with John during my time at DAZN and I have to say I couldn't of asked for a better recruitment leader to support the very challenging work we did on that project. John is always looking to innovate and improve the way that recruitment is done, challenging our basic assumptions to ensure the best service to the hiring community he can. John was instrumental in building four software development centres from scratch an amazing feat of recruitment wizardry. He achieved this by designing and implementing best practices across the team that out to be critical in our eventual success. John's best skill as a recruitment leader is his natural ability to bring talent/recruitment teams and hiring management teams together.
