WHAT MY CLIENTS & CANDIDATES SAY…
-
Melinda Brooks Bray - CHRO at Polaroid
I was super excited when Jamie started his own business was as it’s given me the chance to continue working with him when our internal team was overloaded or we needed specialist external recruitment expertise at Polaroid.
What I appreciate a lot in Jamie is that he is very in touch with what’s happening in the talent market. This was proven when he proactively presented a senior candidate to us ‘off spec’ understanding the kind of skills we weee afte. This person has susequently turned out to be one of our global stars.
Having worked in-house unlike many external recruiters Jamie understands sensitivities like titles, relativities and banding so that candidates aren’t led down the garden path with unrealistic expectations.
Jamie is professional, has integrity and is the kind of business partner who is open to feedback, very client focused and just a brilliant guy to work with.

Andy Longley - E-commerce Director - VivoBarefoot
"Jamie placed me in a previous role and was crucial in recruiting members of my team. Whilst going through the recruitment process he kept me informed at every stage and was extremely responsive making it the smoothest recruitment process I have experienced.
Jamie played a pivotal role in the development of the Ecommerce team, understanding the job requirements but also the personalities required to build a well-functioning dynamic team. Working with Jamie has been a great experience, his character and enthusiasm have an effect on everyone he works with and I would recommend him to any business. "

Lee Whitehead - Managing Director, International at ShopStyle, Inc.
I worked with Jamie initially as a candidate and later in the recruitment of several team members. As a candidate, Jamie was excellent at articulating the role and understood in great detail the requirements necessary for a successful appointment. He also ensured I was kept completely up to date with the process of my application right the way through from initial approach to my actual appointment. As a peer and internal support once I was in my role, Jamie was an invaluable support for recruitment and consistently delivered the right candidates for me to meet, resulting in us being able to secure an excellent calibre of talent to the business.
Working with Jamie was a pleasure and he was a highly respected and popular member of the team and a first class brand ambassador. I would wholeheartedly recommend him to any business or organisation.

I loved working with Jamie! He's an exceptional talent specialist who I'd recommend without hesitation. He's thorough, quick, tenacious and makes sure he fully understands the brief. He genuinely cares about finding the right person for the job and the right job for the person, resulting in him providing high quality and diverse candidates to hiring managers. One of my favourite things about Jamie is how he builds genuine relationships effortlessly and manages expectations expertly meaning that both hiring managers and candidates are left with a positive impression and experience whatever the outcome.

Ian Gibson - Director Trade Marketing, Retail Marketing, Visual Merchandising & Brand Training
‘’meticulous, strategic & passionate’’ are three words that come to mind when I think about Jamie. I had the pleasure of working with him during my own recruitment process for Ben Sherman and alongside him for the recruitment and development within my teams. For me it really is a true talent to be able to connect the right person, to the right role, within the right business and Jamie has always consistently delivered this and is credited for the diverse and creative work forces that he recruits for. I would gladly work with Jamie again in the future.
