Our Mission

Solve recruitment problems through relationships built on trust and a commitment to delivering solutions

We work hard and care about what we do, because what we do really matters.As a team we are aware or our responsibilities, including checking Right to Work, Identity and maintaining Safer Recruitment standards, to ensure the right people are found for the contexts we support and that we are prepared to respond appropriately if issues do arise.

Applying The Mamba Mentality in recruitment

The Mamba Mentality is a mindset that emphasises the importance of relentless effort and a commitment to continuous improvement. It involves a focus on the process rather than the outcome, and an unwavering dedication to achieving one’s goals.

Fearless

Kobe Bryant, the legendary basketballer, exemplified this trait. Despite early setbacks he persevered and refused to allow failure to define him. Fear is temporary, but regret lasts forever. Like Bryant, we aim to be fearless in our pursuits.

Relentless

Bryant once wrote, “You asked for my hustle, I gave you my heart.” Whether it’s on the court, in business, to us that means doing whatever it takes to support our people, regardless of circumstances.

Progression

The Mamba Mentality is about getting better every day. It’s not about being perfect; it’s about progress. Bryant was relentless in mastering his craft and rising above challenges. Whether you’re a leader or just starting out, this mindset demands constant growth.

Obsession

The Mamba Mentality prioritises professional goals over a balanced life. It’s about playing without fear, mastering your skills, and not just aiming to win but to dominate. Bryant’s obsession with excellence fuelled his success.

The Mamba Mentality is a mindset that emphasises the importance of relentless effort and a commitment to continuous improvement. It involves a focus on the process rather than the outcome, and an unwavering dedication to achieving one’s goals. That's what we aspire to at Potter Johnson and we hope you'll join us on the journey!
