Whilst working with James Ray Recruitment I have been extremely impressed with the overall service we have experienced since the initial meeting with Rachel and her team. Due to expansion we required support with multiple roles throughout the business. Within 48 hours we received multiple profiles across all areas we have requested with a detailed and professional feedback on each person. Communication with Rachel in arranging interviews was excellent and was quick to resolve any issues we had. Having now successfully appointed through James Ray Recruitment, I am looking forward to a long-lasting working relationship together.
