 Over the past year I have had the pleasure of working with a variety of people at the Johnson Group. I have been impressed with their consistent high level of professionalism and appreciation for the nuances of the public sector. Under Campbell's leadership, this group is not only a recruitment consultancy, they differentiate themselves by truly understanding and repeatedly adding value to the market and professional community.   I look forward to continuing to work with them in the coming years and celebrating their undoubted growth and success.

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.
