About JSS
JSS was founded in London in 2016 with a clear idea: recruitment should be better — more personal, more considered, and genuinely supportive of the people it serves.
What began as a small team with a big belief has grown into a group working across the UK, Europe, and the US. Our growth has been guided by the same values that shaped our first placements: expertise, honesty, and partnership.

JSS has supported me with hiring into my teams over a number of years and they have always delivered an excellent level of service. The shortlists they provide are always high-quality and diverse, and they are able to save me time by providing insight into the characters and personalities behind the CVs. JSS is very helpful with hard-to-fill roles as they can be relied upon to keep working until a solution is found. This has been particularly useful for niche roles or positions based in locations with a limited pool of candidates.
Domino's Pizza
Group Head of Tax
JSS were initially engaged to support a key Head of Delivery role within our Insurance and Assistance business. JSS took the time to understand both the right experience and cultural fit for our organisation, before presenting a strong shortlist from which we made a successful appointment.
Following this initial success, JSS have supported us on a number of additional senior hires across the business and on each occasion they have delivered a focused search, ensuring the selection process was target and efficient.

Senior Resourcing Business Partner
I’ve known Simon [Smith] and his team for 15 years and in that time have always welcomed their expertise and experience in securing top quality candidates that not only enhance our financial and operational capabilities but also match our values and behaviour set to ensure we get the right IQ/EQ blend. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend JSS as a trusted partner.
Don Davis | ASOS
Commercial Finance Director
JSS are a true recruitment partner who succeed by taking the time to understand your business, the office culture and what you are looking for in a candidate not just for the now but also helping to hire for future potential. Having worked with JSS since day 1, and many of their team for a lot longer, they have recruited for me in a myriad of locations. From Auckland to New York and Manila to London nowhere has yet to prove too far and their success has led to a Group-wide relationship across all areas of Finance, Data & Analytics and Technology.
