We work harder
to find your fit. 

Results-driven, relationship-focused.

At R•JOHNSON, our team is your team. Our philosophy is simple: we prioritize connecting great people to the positions they can succeed in. We approach every placement opportunity with honest communication and genuine passion for what we do. Rather than “sell” resumes to our clients, or “sell” jobs to applicants, we curate prospective applicants through a thorough proven process that works with the industry’s ever-changing needs.

Richard Johnson, B. Comm

President

The man behind it all, Richard established R•JOHNSON Legal Recruitment in 2007 after working for 20 years within the legal recruitement industry at local, national, and international agencies. His vision for the agency began with his strong yet simple belief that applicants and clients should be seen and treated as equals in the placement process. “Each deserves the same respect and consideration.” This has been the guiding principle behind much of Richard’s success and long-held relationships. Since passing the daily operations of the firm over to Kimberly Macmillan, Director of Recruitment, in 2013, Richard has focused his efforts on marketing and branding.
