Today I was delighted to be joined on The RAG Podcast Live with Jonathan Keen, the Founder & CEO of Cognitive Group, a 30+ staff recruitment agency experts in Microsoft talent acquisition & recruitment, based in London.
Having met Jon on numerous occasions, I knew I was going to enjoy this one!
Originally from South Africa, Jon moved to the UK with no recruitment experience and limited funds. Having grown up in a household full of entrepreneurs, he knew this was also going to be his future path.
In this episode we discussed:
🎙His early life in SA, working for his father’s business
🎙His move to London, staying in a single bedroom for £250 per month
🎙How he climbed to top billing status in his previous agency
🎙His startup story and how he parted ways with his business partner in the recession
🎙How the pandemic affected the business
🎙Mistakes made trying to move into global markets and how he would approach this next time
🎙The business today and his vision for future growth!
An articulate and charismatic leader with a clear vision for how he wants to grow his agency, if you would like to chat to Jon directly please contact them via LinkedIn!
