I’ve worked with Josh for a number of years. He has recruited talent for me for different companies. The success rate of candidates has been high. Josh and team will take time to understand the brief. Get to know the culture of the company and then hand pick individuals. Really recommend Josh and his team. If you are looking for an agent that is focused on the long term results then William Rose Associates can help.

Josh is one of those people that not only knows the industry he is recruiting for but also takes the time to get to know his clients, I have never received an unsuitable candidate from Josh and I fully trust his judgement when providing him with a spec. Josh has built a team at William Rose that follow the principles that Josh is passionate and cares about. Josh has always taken the time to listen to what I needed and reach out if anything was unclear, this has helped build the trust I have in Josh and his talent over the years.
