A recruitment experience built on insight and genuine care.

I had an excellent experience with JacksonGrant and their team. They introduced an opportunity that aligned perfectly with my background and long-term goals. The role wasn’t even advertised, yet it matched my experience, location needs, and career aspirations.

Throughout the process, I received clear updates, guidance, and support at every stage. The communication was timely, transparent, and professional, which made the entire journey smooth and reassuring.

I accepted the offer and, shortly after joining, progressed quickly and was promoted after my probation period. The culture, work-life balance, and environment are exactly what I had been searching for since relocating to Thailand. I’m very grateful for the thoughtful matching and the support throughout the journey.

JacksonGrant continues to stand out in Thailand’s recruitment landscape for professionalism and expertise.

I have had the privilege of knowing Richard both personally and professionally for over 4 years and I remain impressed by his intelligent, professional, and genuinely likeable approach to the recruitment industry.

He is exceptionally well connected and highly influential with his clients. When acting as a recruiter, he brings sincere interest, intelligence, and balance to both the candidate and the client. Clients and candidates quickly develop strong trust in him, and this ease in the relationship benefits everyone involved. He has a natural ability to bring together like minded and successful professionals.

He is insightful and direct while being fair and diligent. This clearly sets him apart from many in the industry who may be focused yet still lack strength in business development or attention to top candidates.

Having been both a hiring manager in Thailand for many years and more recently a successful candidate placed by him, I can confidently recommend Richard and JacksonGrant as the number one professional recruiter in Thailand and quite possibly in Southeast Asia.
