Having worked as a Sales and Strategy Executive in leading global digital agencies such as Fjord–Accenture and Idean–CapGemini, Jan developed a knack for spotting people with the skills to build great teams.
“My own past experiences with recruiters had not been great. I'd always wondered why recruiters couldn't answer basic questions or contact me for roles that did not match my experience. When I started Heron Talent, I was committed to creating a recruitment process that would make sense if I were the candidate“.
