What our clients say

Client Testimonials

 

LOTUS SEARCH IS FOCUSED ON DEVELOPING AND MAINTAINING DEEP AND LONGSTANDING RELATIONSHIPS WITH BOTH CLIENTS AND CANDIDATES - DON’T JUST TAKE OUR WORD FOR IT..

“I have known Jonathan for more than 5 years, during which he has helped to place me in roles and has also hired for my team. I find Jonathan's approach refreshing in that he has taken time to genuinely understand the transformation, organisation and change space and build relationships in this niche. Unlike some of the larger HR focused recruiters, Jonathan is all about quality of candidates, not quantity. He'll only recommend people who genuinely have the right skills and behaviours for the role. From a candidate point of view, he'll never push you to go for an interview in an organisation that you're not interested in just to make up the numbers! I'd have no hesitation in introducing him to my network and recommending him from either perspective.”
