I really enjoyed working with James throughout my job search. From our first conversation when I floated that I was looking for my first job ashore he was supportive, proactive, and always kept me updated throughout the process. Even though we had not spoken for awhile, he kept me in mind when clients came to him looking to fill a position. His ability to understand both the role and what I was looking for made the experience smooth and stress-free. I’d highly recommend James to anyone looking for a recruiter who genuinely cares and delivers great results. I look forward to my new career in marine insurance!
