Director/Recruiter at First Task Professional

"I’ve known John and David for many years. I’ve always found them trustworthy and reliable. They are my first choice when recruiting for vacancies within the business. I would recommend them new potential customers."

John moved from Northern Ireland to Scotland to study at Heriot Watt in 2006, and we have unfortunately been stuck with him ever since! He has been involved in the Scottish Construction Recruitment sector since 2010, having worked for both FTSE listed and locally owned SME agencies before making the move to start First Task Professional with Ronnie Napier, who is the old friend from his university days. He has worked with Building & Civil Engineering Contractors, House Builders and specialist Subcontractors throughout Scotland and placed in excess of 350 staff during his time in recruitment from Site Engineers to Managing Directors, and everything in between. For the past 7 years, he has focussed primarily on placing top Commercial, Estimating and Planning talent across the Central Belt

John’s success has always been around keeping things simple and honest; a trait which has seeing clients and candidates alike use him on a repeat basis.
