Bio
Ole Krarup
John hosted a Zoom talk advising graduate students in photonics on transitioning from academia to industry, and subsequently took the time to advise me directly in my hunt for internships. His tips helped me secure an exciting 4 month position doing work which is highly relevant to my formal studies. Get in touch with John if you are new to the photonics job market and need expert advice on how it works!

John reached out to me on LinkedIn, and brought to my attention several relevant job opportunities. I was undisclosed at the time, but John did a great job of checking up with me, and always in a respectful and tactful way. When the time did come to look for job opportunities, he guided me very well through the process. The opportunity he found for me was a very good match for my unique skillset and also the demands of the employer. He bridged the gap between me and the potential employer seamlessly, and even gave me some coaching before each of the interviews. Overall, he was very patient throughout the entire process. I strongly recommend him, as he made the entire process streamlined and hassle-free.

The rapid growth of Entangled Positions and the quantum ecosystem has necessitated a more active leadership and strategic profile within the business. Whilst still involved in the day-to-day recruitment a team growing in both numbers and output requires an increase in high-level output. The additional CEO responsibility allows for a smoother growth plan and improved service to the quantum community that it's been a pleasure to work with since 2014.

Feb 2013 - Jul 2022
Born of a desire to deliver excellent technology staffing for the benefit of all, Profecta Associates strives to provide the honesty and quality of service sadly lacking in much of the recruitment world. With a recruiting journey spanning both boutique and corporate agencies, working in software, photonics, and quantum, it has been impossible not to learn from, and identify, the best and worst ways of finding talent or opportunity. With a select approach to client engagement and a delivery model tailored to an individual candidate or client's requirements, this agency will strive to find the right solution rather than focus on hitting KPI targets or filling databases. Having also run businesses outside of recruitment there is an understanding of the pressures faced so why not get in touch if you're looking to hire or be hired? Show less
