I am not surprised by Metric’s meteoric rise within a few short years to becoming a leading executive search firm within their focus areas. Joe and his team bring energy, proactiveness, creativity and a strong market pulse to work each day – elements that are critical for successful talent placements. We wish Metric ongoing success and look forward to continuing partnering with them.

My name is Amit Dar, founder of Neurolief Ltd, an Israel/USA based company. Neurolief has developed the most advanced non-invasive brain neuromodulation technology available today for the treatment of migraine and depression.

Several months ago, the Board of Directors decided to recruit a US based CEO that will lead the company in its worldwide commercialization and growth. Understanding the critical role of the CEO in maximizing the company’s success and knowing that the allocation of a highly qualified person for this role may be challenging, I contacted John-Joe Walker and asked him to lead the CEO search process. I knew John-Joe has vast experience in Executive Search and specializes in the MedTech and Neuromodulation fields.

From the beginning of the process I felt we were in highly professional hands. Starting from our initial call John-Joe was able to have an in-depth understanding of the company needs and expectations. This was rapidly translated into a short list of highly suitable and capable candidates. He was also very good at generating high interest, getting the candidates enthusiastic about the opportunity.

Later, John-Joe successfully followed and coordinated the entire process of interviews of the selected candidates. During this multiple step process he was able to maintain high interest of the candidates and provided clever advice to me and the Board of Directors. He was also helpful in the final terms negotiation until a successful closing with the selected candidate.

Having previous experience with executive recruitment processes I can say that the CEO recruitment process we had with John-Joe was very efficient, fast and with a very successful outcome. I would highly recommend John-Joe services for anyone who wishes to have an effective executive search and placement.

I had the pleasure of working with James Howsam when he reached out to me with a compelling professional prospect. James demonstrated an exceptional ability to understand and articulate the hiring organization's strategic goals, aligning them effectively with my own career objectives. He maintained a professional, unbiased approached, ensuring both parties has access to transparent and accurate information to make well-informed decisions.

His approach cultivated a high level of trust and confidence, ensuring that there was no hidden agendas or blind spots. I highly recommend James to anyone seeking recruiter who is dedicated, ethical, and truly effective.

John-Joe Walker is a rare gem in the world of deep tech executive recruitment. Like many people, I receive daily inquiries from individuals at search firms, but John-Joe managed to stand out from the pack from day 1. He and I fostered a personal relationship over time which built up trust and resulted in my collaboration with him to find my company's CTO. John-Joe was nothing but supportive and professional from the day we made contact to the day we closed with our CTO.

My company is quite unique in both structure and technology which meant that there were very few individuals out there with the right pedigree and temperament to be our CTO. John-Joe eagerly accepted the challenge and had a handful of fantastic candidates in front of me within a week. He found a calibre of candidate that I could not have sourced myself despite my company's fortunate ability to naturally acquire talent. He walked me through every step of the process, provided his input based on his extensive experience, followed up with everyone frequently, and solely encouraged me to do what I thought was best for my company.

I will absolutely be working with John-Joe again for future critical hires. I was previously hesitant to work with a recruiting firm as I believed I could do it myself and save money. John-Joe changed my thinking through long-term investment in our relationship and a genuine client-focused mentality.

Working with John-Joe is anything but transactional. It feels as though he is as invested in your company's success as you are. In the end, great people attract great people. John-Joe is a great person.

Joe Jani and his team are top notch recruiters in the global biotech industry and get results! Joe has connected me personally and helped me build my leadership team across multiple positions. Working with Joe and Metric Search - you can count on a deep pool of talent, quick understanding of your needs, responsiveness and rapidly filling your team positions. Great working with Joe and the Metric Search team!

I have had the fortune of working with Kirsty Beckwith as both a candidate and as a hiring employer. My experiences on both sides of the transaction have been well managed and successful with consistent and timely communication being a key factor. I found Kirsty to be a consummate professional who kept me engaged throughout the process. On the employee side Kirsty spent the time to understand my career goals and experiences and kept me well informed throughout the process all the way through offer and acceptance. On the employer side, Kirsty has a wide network and has consistently presented solid candidates that were informed, energized and capable of the role that we were filling. I definitely recommend Kirsty for any professional recruiting need.

It was a such a pleasure to work with James. As part of the Board for a growing health tech company, we had a need to find an experienced CEO within a short period of time and James was phenomenal to work with. We were able to create a robust and streamlined process and ended up with a CEO the entire Board was thrilled with and in 6 weeks time. James was thorough, always available, and outstanding at both sourcing excellent candidates, but also managing the process so thoughtfully and professionally. I truly enjoyed his approach to finding the right personal and professional fit for the role based on really understanding what was needed and not confining himself to a checkbox (versus how many big name search firms do it) and recognizing what would also motivate a great candidate to want to join. I was impressed equally with James' strategic perspective and soft skills in ensuring a good process and outcome. I look forward to the opportunity to work with James again.

Kirsty reached out to me and ultimately helped me land the CFO role at a rapidly growing manufacturing company. From day one, she was an absolute pleasure to work with. She stayed in very regular contact, gave me detailed background on all the people I would be interviewing with and helped me prepare for the interviews. I had a great job already while I was being interviewed and had also just been offered a CFO position at another company. Kirsty gave me what I felt was a balanced perspective and helped me make a decision as to which offer I should accept. She never once pressured me to take the role to which she would be given a commission. She consistently took the "long" view and focused on what was right for me, which, in turn, would be the right choice for her client. I have had a lot of recruiters reach out to me over the years. Kirsty is in a league of her own. I HIGHLY recommend her.

Ollie Clift helped me find my current role. He was a thorough professional, proactive and always thinking from the client’s perspective and was always on top of things. I could not have asked for a better person to help me find my dream role. I wish him all the very best for his future professional endeavours and Ollie keep up the good work.
