Our Process

Simple process.
No wasted time.

Four steps. No resume dumps. No wasted interviews. You only meet candidates we would hire ourselves. Every step is backed by our replacement guarantee. Here is exactly how J&J works.

01
Discovery Call

A real conversation, not a form. We learn your role requirements, your culture, your timeline, what you have tried, and what has not worked. This call shapes everything that follows. The more detail you give us, the faster we move.

We learn the role at a deep level — not just the job description but the culture fit, leadership style, and team dynamics
We ask what has not worked in previous searches and why
We align on timeline, compensation range, and decision-making process
We tell you honestly what we can do and how long it will take
02
Source and Screen

J&J goes to work across our network of active and passive candidates. We do not post and pray. We reach out directly to the right people. Every candidate is personally met by J&J before advancing. No exceptions.

We tap our active and passive candidate network built over 25+ years
We personally meet every candidate — in person or by video — before they advance
We assess skills, culture fit, compensation alignment, and genuine interest level
We do not forward resumes to fill a quota — we forward candidates we would hire ourselves
03
You Meet the Best

You only meet qualified, vetted, interested candidates. No resume piles. No courtesy interviews. No wasted time on your end. Every candidate you see is someone J&J has personally evaluated and believes can do the job.

You receive a curated shortlist — typically two to four candidates
Each candidate comes with J&J's written assessment and recommendation
We coordinate all scheduling and manage candidate communication throughout
We debrief with you after each interview to keep the process moving efficiently
04
We Stay Engaged

Placement is not the finish line. J&J conducts 30, 60, and 90-day check-ins after placement to ensure the hire is working for both sides. If it does not work out, our replacement guarantee means we go back to work at no additional cost.

30-day check-in with both client and candidate to address any early concerns
60-day check-in to confirm onboarding is on track and expectations are aligned
90-day check-in to confirm the placement is a long-term success
Replacement guarantee: if the hire does not work out we go back to work at no additional cost
Why J&J

What sets us apart.

Full-Time Only
No temp. No contract. Every placement is a permanent hire. We specialize in what we do and do not try to be everything to everyone.
Personal Candidate Meetings
J&J personally meets every candidate before they reach your desk. That is not standard practice in this industry. It is ours.
Management and Above
Supervisors, managers, directors, VPs, and C-suite leaders only. We do not fill entry-level roles. We go deep in our lane.
Vast Candidate Network
Active and passive candidate pools built over 25+ years. The best hires are rarely on job boards. We go get them.
Our Replacement Guarantee
If a hire does not work out, we go back to work at no additional cost. We stand behind every placement we make.
Nashville Native
Based in Nashville with deep roots in the industries driving Middle Tennessee's economy. We know this market and the people in it.
