John Ahearne
Career to date – University of Birmingham – Master’s degree, whilst there I worked for Peugeot in the summer holidays. After Uni went travelling and came back to Coventry where I spent 15 years working in sales, engineering and marketing recruitment for a large national recruiter. Co-Founder of TT along with Nick in early 2019.
Recruitment hack / top tip – Fail to prepare, prepare to fail. Always spend time looking into a company and the interviewers, consider 3 questions as part of your prep why you want the role, why you are good for the role and why you want to work for the company you are interviewing with.
Best thing about being part of the TT team – Great people, great work ethic, friendly and inclusive environment where everyone helps each other out.
Interesting fact / something we don’t know – My 2nd cousin is Mike Ahearne – Warrior from the Gladiators 1990’s TV show.
Favourite thing to do outside of work – I love sport, football, rugby, golf, tennis, cricket – either playing or watching.
If you weren’t in recruitment, where would you be – Probably a materials scientist or an engineering salesperson.
Lookalike – Haribo kid.
