“I started JDL because I got tired of how most recruiters work. Fire out CVs, close the deal, move on. A people business, run on KPIs and numbers.
We only do data centres, nothing else. Most of the people I work with now I’ve known for years, and some I placed early on are the ones hiring today. Honesty and integrity are what JDL is built on. If a role isn’t right I’ll say so, even when it costs us the fee.
I’m still on the phone every day and many clients deal with me direct. We take on fewer roles than most, because I’d rather do a few jobs properly than half do a lot of them.”
