James and his team were tenacious in reaching out to the candidate market, evaluated candidates accurately, managed them well and communicated effectively with our team throughout the project. I would recommend James and his team to all but our close competition."

They partnered with the exec team expertly, ensuring that our exacting requirements were met and advising us in making the right decision for this key, strategic hire.
