"Starting with a very honest discovery conversation about the role through to managing the logistics of the first phase of the assignment, James is a tremendous support and has a strategic approach to placements."

"To describe James as a recruitment consultant is to significantly undervalue his contribution. James's approach ensures that only relevant, matched and motivated individuals ever meet with the business. Resulting in a short, focused and very successful search."
Kevin Paterson, formerly Whitbread Group PLC
