Emma Dewson

Research Associate

Emma collaborates with consultants, directors and other research associates to deliver JacksonStone’s research services. She develops search lists for executive-level appointments, writes proposals and reports, and builds ongoing professional relationships with candidates.

With a Master’s degree majoring in History from Victoria University of Wellington, Emma has a strong research pedigree, and is an experienced associate with a solid track record in the staffing and recruiting industry. She is equipped for all aspects of executive research and recruitment, from executive search, bid writing and bid strategy to proofreading and presentations.

Matching high-quality candidates to ideal roles where they will thrive and drive success is what motivates Emma in her role. By looking past the traditional role–candidate fit, she ensures clients see a range of superbly talented and well-suited people – even some ‘unexpected’ candidates – so clients have an excellent choice of people to select for their team.
