What our happy clients say
"Partnering with JBR has been game-changing for Equipment Depot. Because of our geographic footprint and substantial growth, recruiting became a major challenge for us. We needed access to strong leadership talent across the country. Jeremy took the time to truly understand our needs, as well as, the culture of our company. He brought (and continues to bring) candidates to Equipment Depot that we didn’t have access to historically. JBR has a thorough vetting process which has helped increase our success rate tremendously. Jeremy has become a true strategic partner for EQD. He is committed to our success. I can confidently recommend JBR to any organization seeking exceptional leaders."

"I've experienced firsthand the challenges of recruiting top talent, especially in leadership roles. Working with JBR has been transformative for us. I consider Jeremy as a business partner. He manages projects from beginning to end keeping us informed at every step. JBR’s vetting process ensures we get candidates who are not only qualified but also a cultural fit. JBR is more than a recruiter; they are a strategic advisor. They've strengthened our leadership team, overcome location challenges, and boosted our confidence in talent acquisition. I fully endorse J Bennett Recruiting for any organization seeking high-quality talent."

Jeremy Bennett
Jeremy Bennett began his recruiting career in Houston, Texas, and quickly rose through the ranks, eventually becoming the VP of the company’s Chicago branch. After 15 years with the firm, he noticed a shift in mindsets and goals regarding serving specific clientele. Despite having grown the business from just five people to a massive $400 million in revenue, he decided to move on.
After leaving the company, he founded Jeremy Bennet Recruiting, a self-taught, vetting process-oriented recruiting firm. With his years of experience and expertise, Jeremy set out to build a recruiting company that would provide clients with professional, accurate, and timely services, focused on the heavy equipment, construction, and public accounting industries.

The Black Box
Dealing with most search firms is like staring into a black box. There is no transparency into the firm’s recruiting process. It feels like a race to your inbox, as firms send resumes without any knowledge of these candidates.

The Recruiting Antidote to the Black Box
JBR was founded to be the antidote to the black box problem. In order to produce different results, we had to create a different process. Our strategy is simple, carefully prospect candidates, recruit more then we need, and employ a robust vetting process.
OUR STRATEGIC PROCESS
Robust Vetting Process

Hand-Selected Candidates
J Bennett recruiting is a thorough and comprehensive recruitment agency that understands the importance of finding the perfect candidate for your specific role.

Phone-Screening
Once a significant number of candidates have been identified, our team will typically narrow down the pool to around 15 candidates for phone screening.

Video Interviews
After the initial phone screening process, J Bennett Recruiting further narrows down the pool of candidates to the top 5 candidates who have shown the most promise for the specific role.
Executive Interview Reports & Recordings
At J Bennett Recruiting, we understand the importance of hiring the right candidate for an executive position. That’s why we offer our clients Executive Interview Reports & Recordings, allowing them to gain a better understanding of the candidates they are recruiting.

Interview Reports Include:

Final Recommendations
Once the video interviews have been conducted and reviewed, J Bennett Recruiting will then provide their final recommendations to the client. This will include their top two candidates who they believe will best thrive in the client’s company culture and exceed the expectations of the job specifications.
We then will provide an in-depth report on each of the two candidates, listing both the pros and cons of each candidate.
Final Candidates & Recap of Job Search
