πŸ‘‹ Hi, I’m Jonathan

I'm a Senior Talent Acquisition Partner at Ocado Technology, partnering with engineering and data leaders to build high-performing technical teams.

πŸ’‘ I’m not technical, but I’m curious.

I invest time in understanding what engineers actually do so I can hire better, ask better questions, and collaborate more effectively.

πŸ“ I'm documenting my journey in tech recruitmentβ€”sharing insights into interview practices, hiring decisions, sourcing strategies, and what really happens behind the scenes. If it helps even a few people feel more informed or prepared, that's good enough for me.

🎭 Beyond Interview Answers

At no point throughout this profile will you find lists of perfect interview answers.

Hiring isn't a game of saying the right thing at the right time.

The conversations that matter most happen beneath the surface: how people solve problems, work with others, navigate ambiguity, learn from failure, and grow over time.

That's what I spend my time trying to understand, and that's what you'll find here.
