๐Ÿ‘‹ Hi, Iโ€™m Jonathan

I'm a Senior Talent Acquisition Partner at Ocado Technology, partnering with engineering and data leaders to build high-performing technical teams.

๐Ÿ’ก Iโ€™m not technical, but Iโ€™m curious.

I invest time in understanding what engineers actually do so I can hire better, ask better questions, and collaborate more effectively.

๐Ÿ“ I'm documenting my journey in tech recruitmentโ€”sharing insights into interview practices, hiring decisions, sourcing strategies, and what really happens behind the scenes. If it helps even a few people feel more informed or prepared, that's good enough for me.

๐ŸŽญ Beyond Interview Answers

At no point throughout this profile will you find lists of perfect interview answers.

Hiring isn't a game of saying the right thing at the right time.

The conversations that matter most happen beneath the surface: how people solve problems, work with others, navigate ambiguity, learn from failure, and grow over time.

That's what I spend my time trying to understand, and that's what you'll find here.
