Paul Jacobs

Meet Paul. Co-founder of Jump Advisory Group, well-known, high-profile recruitment figure, and over 40 years’ experience of successfully accelerating growth across multiple national and international recruitment businesses and sectors, as a CEO, COO, and a Strategic Advisor.

Board Director of the Recruitment & Employment Confederation, regular judge at industry awards and multiple recruitment award-winner himself, Paul reflects the best of an industry that changes lives and has created a legacy of inspiring future-focused leaders to progress beyond their ambition. He’s also a very likeable guy.

A bit of a celebrity, Paul guest-starred in over 400 national and local radio broadcasts including all BBC radio channels, IRN, ITN and Jazz FM. Friends might say ‘loves the roar of the greasepaint’, but his co-founders prefer ‘media enthusiast’. Malcontent with radio stardom, Paul extended his reach into TV with regular appearances on CNN, Channel 4, BBC One 1 and NBC. (It’s always good to have a back-up plan).

Hackney-born father of 2, grandfather of 3 (with a fourth on the way), loving husband to a very understanding wife, Paul’s other passion, coming in a (very) close second to recruitment, is his beloved Arsenal. Paul is also a member of Ronnie Scott’s (might explain his appearance on Jazz FM).

Paul has collaborated with well over 100 executive management teams to develop and accelerate strategies that have achieved impressive turnover and profit margin, at speed and scale. Instrumental in implementing the famous pink of Office Angels as MD, his skills extend beyond advisory into developing a brand as standout, that organisations in the sector followed and adopted for years to come, with significant success.
