About us
Putting personality back into recruitment
LEAD Careers was founded by Adam Johnston, who has spent the last 13 years recruiting Landscape Architects for UK based Studios all across the country.
Prior to launching LEAD Careers, Adam acted as Team Leader for Consultants focusing exclusively in Landscape and Urban Design, Ecology, Town Planning and Architecture recruitment. Adam has a fully comprehensive understanding of his Sector which is further strengthened by his numerous LinkedIn recommendations from candidates at all levels of their career from raw University Graduates, through to Associate Directors and Directors.
With good relationships with Award-Winning Consultancies and Universities across the UK, Adam has become a first-choice option for candidates when searching for an opportunity in Landscape Architecture and a consistent choice for Recruiting Managers when looking for Experienced Hires.
