I've been very impressed with the Johnson Group in terms of their ability to clearly assess skills and experience, and match with opportunities. I've also been very impressed with the level of follow-up and contact I have received - it kept me informed, and assured me that I was being thought about and that I was being worked for. However, I was particularly impressed with the "human touch" demonstrated - a genuine interest and caring for people.

Thank you for meeting with me yesterday. It was a real pleasure. It is refreshing to see an agency with a social conscience, keen to "make a difference" and values that are aligned with my own. I must admit I was initially a little nervous about our meeting, but you managed to put me at ease, and by the end of our meeting I was very enthusiastic about being involved with the Johnson Group.
