I’ve worked with many recruitment companies and generally found the process disappointing. When Rachel and her team reached out I was slightly hesitant but having met in person, I realised, quite quickly, that they operated differently. They took the time to get a real understanding of our company culture, to help them identify what makes a successful hire within our business. Within a week they had sent me three fantastic profiles, all of which met the requirements for a senior marketing role. I found the service throughout the process both professional and efficient. They kept me updated and communicated really well. I would recommend that anyone looking to source a specialist within the marketing industry contacts James Ray recruitment.
