Refreshingly informal - highly effective

About Me
  • Search recruiter
  • Hyper-connected
  • Any discipline, any industry
  • C-suite to middle management
  • 25 years' experience

With more than 25 years of expertise in executive search and mid-level recruitment, I bring a unique blend of intuition and creativity to the recruitment process. I specialise in identifying and connecting top talent across various disciplines, from C-suite executives to middle management and highly specialised and critical positions.
 

I'm known for my networks. More than just a recruiter, I serve as a strategic partner, helping clients not only fill key positions but also expand their professional networks. This is why clients consistently choose to partner with me to fill diverse roles across multiple levels and disciplines. My approach is refreshingly informal yet remarkably effective, setting me apart in the industry.

“Johnny Bass has assisted me with executive and non executive recruitment roles over a number of years.  His wealth of connections has resulted in candidates of a high calibre that were not necessarily on the market.  Johnny takes the time to look for both competency and cultural fit required in the role, and has been great at ensuring candidates meet the business’s brief.  I have no qualms recommending Bass Consulting."

Services

Bringing the right people on board, from top talent to expert advisors, to help your business thrive in any challenge.

Permanent hires

I dive deep into each role brief, fully understanding its core, challenges, and opportunities.  I quickly identify and engage top talent, ensuring a precise match—not merely filling positions. My approach is personal, collaborative, and focused on delivering impactful results

Contractors

In a rapidly evolving and unpredictable business landscape, projects, transformational change, and critical personnel cover frequently demand swift, interim solutions. I specialise in rapidly identifying and deploying key resources that add immediate value in dynamic environments.

Strategic advisors

My comprehensive network encompasses seasoned executives across various industries and disciplines. I am frequently sought out to offer expert resources on a part-time basis, ensuring timely and effective strategic guidance.

Approach

Approach

My approach to networking is what really sets me apart.  I have a knack for developing loose networks.  As defined by a hugely influential 1973 Stanford University paper, loose networks consist of weak/casual ties.
 

My understanding and utilisation of loose networks allows me to leverage a broad spectrum of informal connections and industry contacts, enabling me to discover and engage top-tier candidates more effectively.  This is why companies repeatedly trust me to fill multiple roles across various disciplines and levels, leveraging a broad and diverse pool of talent to meet their evolving needs.  Examples include:
