Hi, I’m John.
I’m a Job Search Coach, driven to help my clients rise to the top 1% of applicants – and beyond.
Through The Basel Job Coach, I empower professionals to understand their unique Career DNA, stand out in hyper-competitive markets and secure roles they once thought were out of reach.
With over 15 years in global recruitment, I’ve partnered with top employers across multiple sectors and regions, helping over 500 professionals land high-impact roles. My experience spans industries and borders, equipping me with the insight to guide you toward your career goals with precision and purpose.
Few coaches offer the same depth of hiring expertise. I draw on my background advising C-Suite leaders of global corporations and my hands-on experience founding, launching, growing and selling recruitment businesses. My advice is real-world tested.

Masterclasses are 100% confidential, but here’s what some of my clients say:
“I wasn’t sure about job search coaching, but before I contacted The Basel Job Coach, I’d been applying for roles for six months without success. After taking John’s CV Masterclass, I picked up interviews with five leading businesses and was offered my dream role with one of them, all within two months of the CV Masterclass!”

“Following my second no-fault redundancy in three years, I engaged John to support my search for executive roles. He’s helped me understand who I am professionally and what I want to do. After the Networking Masterclass, employers and headhunters started finding me again. The mock interview was a game-changer, and I’ve just accepted a VP-level IT role with a Basel-based company. Thanks, John!”
