James is a very personable recruitment consultant and made finding my new role a hassle free and enjoyable experience.

Helen Gowland - Real Estate and Strategy Consultant

James is rare in the field of recruitment in that he listens to what you are looking for and time and time again matches you to roles that really suit you. It's really refreshing to work with someone who really cares about what they do. I would recommend James to anyone looking for a well matched contractor for their needs, or a contractor looking for the perfect role.

JOHN BULL - DIRECTOR

All too often the recruitment process fails to match you and a suitable role together. James obviously understood the client he was working for and then took the time to listen and understand my experience before linking us together. It was refreshing to be put forward for a suitable role and then supported the whole time that I was in it.

LYNN GILBERT - WORKPLACE CONSULTANT

James is very professional and his recruitment style is little different, I liked James' one-to-one approach. He arranged a meeting with me to go through the job spec in detail where he went through client’s requirements. He also kept me updated with client's feedback. Considering his professional approach I would recommend James to all job seekers in market.
