Seldon Gill forms USA alliance

As the leader in professional services BD and marketing recruitment for the Asia-Pacific region, and following our alliance last year with a UK partner, we are now very excited to announce that we have formed a strategic alliance with NY based J. Johnson Executive Search, Inc in the USA.

Jennifer Johnson (founder of the firm), has been in the business for 12 years and carries close to her a national network of professional BD and marketing talent.  Jennifer states, “Because I educate myself on the culture of firms, the structure of departments and the aspiration of each candidate, I can streamline the process of recruitment by focusing only on the right match.  I have advised on the evolution of hundreds of careers.  And my clients, the firms, appreciate that I know what they want, because I meet with them and understand their needs.”

Providing our candidates with more opportunity and our client’s with greater access to universal talent, Seldon Gill is thrilled to be working with J. Johnson Executive Search.  Graham Seldon says, "When looking for an alliance partner in North America we simply had no choice.  J. Johnson Executive Search is the most expert and knowledgeable firm in that market. We are in the business of helping candidates make life-changing decisions, and they trust us to give them honest and well-researched advice.  Jennifer Johnson operates with integrity and passion; two things that Seldon Gill has as must-have attributes in our business.  Working with J Johnson Executive Search is not just a business convenience, it's a privilege."
