Open Positions

Our Raving Fans

“I have spoken with JCP staff in the past as well and everyone has been amazing every single time. Luke Hill was amazing here and Claire Spence is also first class all the way. I will certainly be using them for all my needs as a hiring manager moving forward.”

“The best part of the process was communication and always being kept in the loop. Never once did I feel like the process was breaking down or simply felt in the dark on any topic. Luke Hill maintained professional control of all parties involved throughout the entire process and cared for all people involved. It was as much or more about the people than it was about the placement. He cared about putting the right people fit together for everyone involved. ”

Cecile Pichon was absolutely wonderful and always kept me informed of the progress of the interview process. I also want to thank Angie Truitt, as she had got me started with the information on a new opening at my new company. I was brand new in looking to what was out there stage, and she texted me on a weekend to discuss an opportunity. Talk about commitment! I was intrigued, and we set up a time to discuss. Cecile then contacted me and walked me through the next steps, and I started on Oct 25th. I am very glad that I have been in contact with JCP for all these years. Veronica Ramirez is amazing!

The collaboration between Erica Lockwood and Angie Truitt to find a role that fit my skills was wonderful! Working with your company was a fantastic experience from beginning to end! Communication between myself and the recruiter was exceptional.

My confidence is always “high” and my coach, Cecile Pichon, has played a vital part in keeping it that way!! She exceeded my expectations and I consider her more than just a “coach” but a “caring friend”! You need to find a way to clone her then let me hire her or her clones!

Luke Hill cares more about our purpose and our people than he does the sale. That is why he has our business. He has been an active advocate to our social media before and during our work together, but his heartfelt voice messages and human skill touches to us made it easy to know who we wanted to work with among the many solicitations we receive weekly for headhunting. For us we are grateful he represents the partnership and relationship alignment above the hard wheel and “deal selling” of people looking to jump for money instead of better alignment with the culture and heartbeat of our company.

“Hailey Holbert was incredibly warm, knowledgeable, and supportive during the 1.5-month process. It was a pleasure working with her.”

“David Brown has made additional Efforts to Understand the complexities and benefits of my career in order to assure a good client fit, as well as an optimal presentation to the client. In our first attempt, it did not bear fruit, but that had nothing in my opinion to do with David or myself. Some things just do not work out. David followed up regularly and kept me abreast of the progress. He’s now discussing other opportunities with me that may be relevant and potentially a good fit. Many Exec Recruiters can fill their client’s requirements, but not all of them make an additional concerted effort to frame the candidate optimally. For these efforts, I appreciate and applaud David.”

“David Brown is an exceptional individual that I could share my concerns and needs with during his search and ultimately my acceptance of the position I interviewed for recently. His insight into his client and ability to answer my questions helped me with my decision. I would work with him again.”

Angie Truitt has been great to work with and fits our personalities well.

Cecile! Thank you! I’m ecstatic, myself. This role is a golden opportunity and I wouldn’t have known about it without you and your team. I owe you lunch next time you make it to DFW! I definitely won’t forget about y’all.

“Luke Hill, is beyond amazing. He really has taken our feedback and turned us to some amazing candidates, he gets us and what we’re looking for. This has really taken the stress off of finding somebody we feel like is a great fit. Luke, has been amazing at setting us up with people we can be excited to talk with.”

“Angie Truitt was by far the best recruiter I have ever worked with and she should be recognized for her efforts within your organization. She provided excellent and professional experience. Angie had excellent communication skills between the company and myself.”

“Hailey was fantastic every step of the way! She came to me and handled all of the communication between the company! It was much less stressful for me!”

“Professional, dedicated, inspiring, passionate are just a few of the words that describe Veronica Ramirez. She works tirelessly on behalf of her clients and will do whatever it takes to cross the finish line! Above all she ensures her clients best interests come first and without waiver she will always do the right thing. As a Professional Executive Recruiter, Veronica knows the how to serve her clients best and she comes with my highest recommendation.”

“Erica Lockwood is a consummate professional! Her core competencies are well-matched to her recruitment work. Erica is a communicator, and she understands the job’s requirements and the candidate’s abilities that when introduced, create the symphonic match that all employers look for. She is dependable, responsible, timely and responsive. And Erica has a deep address book of potential candidates and employers that expedite searches. I highly recommend Erica Lockwood for executive search services.”

“I absolutely enjoy working with Angie Truitt…She did a great job in exploring what we were looking for and then quickly finding alternatives as to where we could look. She is very fast regarding turning around things like setting up interviews, returning calls, etc. Not only do tasks not sit on her desk, they don’t get lost on mine. That’s a benefit. The only way we could get quicker is if I gave her access to my calendar. It’s that quick. The candidates she is sourcing have been very good. The best evidence of that is the interview to hire ratio. I am thankful for all the assistance Joseph Chris Partners brings to ours.”

“I have had the opportunity of being both the hiring manager and a candidate, thus having dealt with executive recruiters on both sides of the spectrum. Ms. Claire Spence is most definitely a recruiter whom I think highly of and who more than anything brings a very personal perspective to a search; a crucial trait when identifying talent. Ms. Spence is also not afraid to bring “out of the box” recommendations and substantiating her assessments, bringing alternative viewpoints founded on solid due-diligence crucial in today’s crisis environment. Ms. Spence identifies the vertical skills and intangibles that will most certainly become the gold standard as we maneuver into a new future.”

“Cecile Pichon has helped my organization and me with the recruitment of several candidates. Cecile demonstrates value on every call and in every email by understanding our needs and presenting candidates who fit from the beginning. Cecile and Joseph Chris Partners remove the need for extensive vetting throughout all stages of the process, allowing for more real and substantive interactions with candidates. She has always been attentive, responsive, and practical. I would recommend Cecile and JCP without reservation.”

Claire, I just want to express my appreciation for all that you have done and continue to do for us!!! You have always been the ultimate professional in all of your recruiting activities. The candidates we meet appreciate your honesty and candor and the information you provide. I appreciate your follow up with our new recruits to make sure they are working out well and adapting to our culture. Your years of experience clearly show through with the way you approach every position we fill. You have been instrumental in helping us grow and we are thankful to you for your special attention. If I can ever help you with anything, please let me know.

Cecile, I wanted to let you know how amazing my experience with you and Joseph Chris has been. In this job search I have spoken to A LOT to recruiters, but you truly stand out! You attentiveness to my needs and skill set are unsurpassed, your follow-up and follow through and unmatched. And finally your support of my current needs of staying local for my family when electing not to progress further in the hiring process with [your client] further showcases your overall excellence and professionalism. I will certainly refer others in need and know when the timing is right we will work together again.

My experience with David Brown was very positive. He was always professional and timely in his responses to my status inquiries. He also worked on an “outside the box” request from us that resulted in several very good candidates coming on board and proved to be very beneficial for the Reno team.

Erica has a great personality and pushes to help find the right person for even the most difficult position. Her Communication and quality of candidates brought to the table were very helpful.

David was a great communicator and willing to discuss every aspect of the position and the company, even as he was learning the details. Consistent dialogue between partner, company, and candidate. Great job David!

Erica, I wanted to reach out and say thank you for finding me. Things are going fantastic and I couldn’t be happier.
