I have had the real pleasure of working with Jade Emery from Aventus Recruitment Agency on a contract opportunity in the Middle East. Besides being a truly reliable, honest, and forthright professional, Jade’s warm, friendly, and genuine demeanor made it so easy to work with her. She provided consistent, open, and clear communications throughout the recruitment and hiring process and kept in constant contact, responding promptly and efficiently to my follow-up requests, and making a point to personally call me back rather than simply leaving an email message, which made the entire interaction much more human and sincere. I enjoyed working with Jade very much. In an industry where candidate ghosting is becoming the norm, it’s a rare treat to meet and work with someone like Jade, making me feel like an individual rather than just another number looking for a job. In my opinion, it is this unique and truly impressive quality of Jade that makes her stand out as a top-notch recruiter.

Jon is one of those rare recruiters who genuinely goes above and beyond—for both clients and candidates. He brings a unique energy to every interaction, always helpful, always engaged, and never transactional. His approach is refreshingly human in an industry that often feels the opposite. A real standout.
