“James and his team were valuable assets to MetaPack: with a strong understanding of the market and a rigorous, relationship based approach, he was able to provide great candidates in a short space of time whilst acting as a true ambassador for our business.”

“James and his team opened my eyes as to the calibre of candidates that ‘proper’ headhunters are able to provide. He found me a gamechanging Chief Revenue Officer in 2020 and has been an advisor and friend since.”

"Working in challenging conditions Legion found for Linnworks an exceptional VP. The technology sector at the time was ultra competitive in terms of talent acquisition. 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."

"We appointed James and Simon to lead the executive search for our Chief Revenue Officer. 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. James went above and beyond in getting under the skin of our business, product and values, managing multiple stakeholders, including our Founders and VC investors, and, ultimately, securing for us the best candidate for the role. James is a trusted advisor who offers strategic counsel, delivers on C level hiring needs and genuinely cares for the long-term success of both the exceptional candidates he represents and the business he's been retained by."
