I am a specialist Python/Django Recruiter and recruitment leader with close to 15 years experience. I have worked within the Python and Django community throughout this time. Along the way I have worked with exceptional companies and outstanding talent.
Supporting the open source industry fuels my passion for recruitment and is my motivation for starting Foxley Talent. Our mission is to be the go-to recruiter within the Python and Django community worldwide.
To achieve this goal, my team and I will support the Python and Django community with an expert service and share our knowledge of how to hire or find work in this space. Helping great people find employment with amazing companies and to contribute to the community where I can.
I have pledged to donate a % of our annual profits back into the ecosystem by donating to the Django Software Foundation itself along with sponsoring events and conferences.
Foxley Talent have the rare skill of genuinely understanding recruitment and the tech sector.
They are always my go to for new hires, also they strike the ideal balance between being proactive without being pushy.
Pete - Client Testimonial
In ten years of consulting, Foxley Talent are one of the few recruiters I’ve come across, whom I would describe as truly authentic.?
They show a deep commitment to both the client AND consultant (a rarity), and are fun, approachable, and honest.
Sebastian - Developer
Jon has placed me with a number of companies over the years and each time it's been a good match. He's one of the few recruiters who have immersed themselves in the industry to the extent that I would say he's the 'Go To' recruiter for Python roles.
Richard - Python Software Engineer
Jon is widely considered to be one of the good guys. Or perhaps - the only good guy.
If you’re thinking about working with tech recruiters but are holding your nose, this is the time to breathe!
He's invested for over a decade in building communities for developers, engaging ethically with organisations, and just seems to get it.
It's my belief that you won't find anyone quite like him - we have gone round the houses with recruiters and the industry is generally expensive, ruthless and a bit ugly. Jon is the opposite.
If you're reading and still not sure - three of my current super high-end developers also think he's a good guy, have come across him before, and think he's different - and deserving of a label other than "recruiter", cos he doesn't fit the mould.
So in conclusion a) everyone thinks he's good b) he's nice c) he's flexible d) we're happy and we use him e) good luck finding anyone else whose job title says "recruiter" whose calls you take and you actually enjoy talking to!
Jonathan - CEO
Working with Foxley Talent has been a positive experience from start to finish.
Jon took the time to understand the requirements and roles I'd view as interesting, suggesting specific opportunities tailored to those. He provided conscious attention to detail and openness and provided me with excellent feedback throughout the process.
An incredibly beneficial connection to have made for my career, Jon has been invaluable in delivering a smooth transition to an exciting new position.
KK - Staff Software Engineer
Having worked with the same Python framework for 5 years, I had decided it was time for a change of employer and look for an opportunity to work with Django more extensively. After listening to Jon’s interview on the London Tech Insider Podcast, he sounded like the right person to speak to about progressing my career.
Jon took the time to understand my experience and requirements, and apply his extensive knowledge to suggest roles that would be right for me. This personal approach made me confident that he would find me the perfect opportunity.
Within a few weeks, I had a job offer in a brilliant environment, where I have the room to grow, and the employer has an experienced candidate to fulfil their role.
Thanks Jon and Foxley Talent for making this happen!
James - Python Developer
Working with Jon has been an absolute pleasure and as streamlined as possible.
He managed to secure me a role in a matter of hours and the contract was signed within 48 hours.
It couldn't have been any easier and the consistent correspondence and communication never goes amiss.
It's been a breeze up to now and long may it continue.
