Alex Mann recognised in the Talent 100

Harvey John Managing Director Alex Mann, who leads our specialist Tax division, has been named to the Talent 100, Class of 2026. The recognition celebrates his contribution to recruitment and his progressive approach to technology, data and AI.

Organised by Noon AI, the Talent 100 recognises leaders helping to shape the future of talent acquisition. Honorees are nominated by peers or identified by selection committees before being chosen for the depth of their expertise and their impact on hiring.

Tax recruitment leadership built on curiosity

Alex’s recognition reflects an approach developed over 12 years at Harvey John. Alongside his role as Managing Director, he leads our Tax division and specialises in indirect tax and tax technology recruitment across international markets.

Curiosity has been central to that development. Alex actively learns from clients, candidates, colleagues and professionals both within and outside recruitment. He brings those perspectives together to challenge established thinking and continually improve how Harvey John supports the specialist tax market.

Technology, data and the future of recruitment

Alex’s approach to technology, data and AI is a central theme of his Talent 100 profile. Rather than adopting technology for its own sake, he explores where it can improve efficiency, reveal useful trends and provide an additional sense-check for decisions.

He believes the next evolution of recruitment will depend on how effectively recruiters combine data and technology with the relationships, judgement and specialist knowledge that have always underpinned the profession.

“Recruiters that don’t use AI are the ones that get left behind.”
