Rachel was super supportive and an absolute delight to work with in setting me up for a job role! Could not recommend her enough. Quick and simple process, with someone who carries such a friendly and positive aura!

We recently used James Ray recruitment to fill a vacancy in my company. Following their screening processes they produced for us two candidates who were both suitable for the role we needed filling. The process was simple and great value for money. I would have no hesitation in using them again in the future

The most straightforward and efficient recruiters I have come across. Told them exactly what I was looking for and within just a week found and secured a job which met my expectations. Rachel Parker was really kind, understanding and supportive throughout the whole process. Would really recommend!

James Ray are a highly skilled recruitment agency who I’ve now been working with for a couple of months, I wanted to wait a while to allow for a solid review. They resolve any issues instantly. They have an outstanding pay rate for different types of cover and are very very quick to secure placements. Overall, I highly advise James Ray to anyone looking for a trustworthy and skilled team to support in placements. Thank you James Ray for all of your support and continued partnership!

James Ray Recruitment are a highly professional and friendly agency. Kat and her team really listened to my preferences and I was never short of work in a great range of schools across Hull and East Riding. A fantastic agency to work for-I highly recommend them. I have now secured a long term position and I have Kat to thank for her encouragement and for building my confidence after a career break from teaching to raise a family. Good location in Beverley too. I will definitely work for James Ray Recruitment again!

From my initial contact with Luke and Kat via LinkedIn, working for James Ray Recruitment has been fantastic. I felt valued and supported from Day 1. I am Primary based so Kat (being the Primary Consultant) was the person I consulted with the most. She listened to my situation and any concerns or worries that I had. I had work the day after completing all checks but I also wasn't pressured into accepting a role I didn't feel comfortable with or I couldn't do.If anyone is thinking about Supply, I would thoroughly recommend speaking to James Ray Recruitment.

I have been with James Ray since September and am so pleased with everything! Signing up with them was easy and Kat is lovely and really friendly to talk to. Communication is great and I am getting a lot of work from them. Staff are amazing and I have gained a lot more confidence within the classroom from being with them. Cannot recommend enough!

I came across a job vacancy for an invigilator advertised by James Ray in DecemberI called them to find out more information regarding invigilator opportunities.Kat answered the phone. I explained to her what I was after.She listened and took all my requirements on board.She was very helpful and made me feel so comfortable.She said that I needed to update my CV and submit it. I was a bit unsure as I'm not confident at selling my achievements . She picked up on this and said that if I update it and email it across to her, she would look at it. Following on from this, Hayley Heeley from the office called me. She asked me a few questions and gave me a lot to think about regarding vacancies in education .Hayley was again just as helpful and caring. She then booked me in for an interview with her.I strongly recommend James Ray Recruitment to everyone.The staff are extremely helpful, kind and respectful.A great example of first class customer service.

James Ray is such a friendly and supportive team! The company made me feel so welcome and at ease. They are super organised and helpful - I couldn’t believe how quickly I was signed up and they started me on supply teaching posts straight away! I hadn’t worked for supply in 10 years so I was nervous but they made sure that I worked in a year group that I felt comfortable in to give me that confidence boost and I loved it! Luke and Kat are so enthusiastic and supportive, they have made great relationships with schools! If you are looking to start supply teaching but you are feeling nervous, this company is the one to go with! Thanks for such a positive experience! I’m excited for the opportunities this year!

James Ray Recruitment is a wonderful agency to work for! I've loved every second working for them and have visited some lovely schools along the way! Kat and the team are friendly, helpful and extremely supportive! I'm very sad to be leaving you, but hopefully I can return in the future!

My experience with James Ray has been brilliant from the start. Kat and the team have always made me feel so welcome and at ease with a process I was unfamiliar with.I came to James Ray following the completion of my QTS as I didn’t immediately secure a full time teaching position. I have had continuous work in schools which has led to me securing a full time position!Working as a supply teacher can be daunting if you are new to teaching but James Ray gave me all the support I needed to succeed.I would definitely recommend!If you are reading this, good luck for the future 🙂

An incredible company of kind and friendly staff. If you are in need of Cover staff for schools this should be your first call. They are well organised and friendly with high standards and a strong work ethic. If you are looking to work in Supply I cannot recommend a better company to work for.

I've had an amazing time as a supply teacher with James Ray Recruitment from start to finish. Registration was easy, clear communication throughout, received pay correctly and on time every time. Kat and Luke were my main contacts and were great getting me all the work I wanted in a range of lovely schools. It was exactly the experience I hoped it would be, I worked day to day in a range of schools as I requested and was given opportunities to look at longer term roles also. I always recommended them to others looking to become supply teachers, and will continue to do so in future. When I moved on to a permanent role they were genuinely happy for me and I'd be more than happy to work with them again in the future.

Rachel dealt with my situation in a really efficient, straight talking and understanding manner. My job move was slightly unusual but this did not prevent her finding me a role that I am really happy in. I was kept informed at all stages and she checked in with me regularly to see if there was anything else she could do. I will use her again in the future, if needs be.

Right from the start Luke and his team have been great! They have been personable and welcoming from the off. All the admin at the beginning was a breeze. Luke has a great group of schools - some of them excellent! It’s clear he builds up good relationships with these schools which means you will nearly always get work. Luke has been great to deal with-he listens to what you are looking for and wants to work with you to make things work for all parties. I’ve really enjoyed my supply days so far and thoroughly recommend joining the agency.
