Founder @ Early-stage Startup
“I would highly recommend working with James and his team- we will certainly work with them again in the future. From kick-off, James took the time to understand our needs, both the tangible and the intangible, and pushed the process along in a timely manner. He understood our team was busy and supported us well throughout the whole process. Every person they sent through was high-quality technical candidate that allowed our team to not only hire amazing people, but also hire them in less than a month!”
CTO @ MIRROR / Lululemon Studio
“James worked as an embedded technical recruiter at MIRROR and produced absolutely fantastic results for our team. I literally cannot say enough wonderful things about him. He worked as a seamless extension of our company, slotting into our existing process and then improving upon it. He took the stress of recruitment off my shoulders and worked beautifully with team members at the organization. The candidates he sourced for us not only met all of our requirements but exceeded our expectations. They became highly efficient team members, contributing greatly to the success of the business. By the time I left the company, James had placed over 85% of the engineers at MIRROR and the retention rate of his placements was over 95% over the nearly 4 years we worked together.
James is a true master of his craft – he is devoted to understanding a company’s mission and values, finding the right candidates that not only fit in with a company, but elevate it. He deeply cares about companies he works with and their success. Rather than simply placing candidates for a short-term referral fee, he is invested in the long term trajectory of the team. Without James, I can confidently say that MIRROR would not have had the outstanding outcome it did.”
Senior Engineering Manager @ The New York Times
“James worked with me to fill multiple roles for Android developers. The New York Times rarely uses outside recruiters, and so it was a testament to how challenging the roles were to fill that we were even working together. James was responsive and easy to work with. He had good judgment about when to go along with our processes and requirements, even if it meant extra work for him, and when it was important to push back on us so that we'd get the desired outcome. He paid attention to what the engineers were looking for, and built a relationship of trust with them before introducing them to us. That helped to ensure a good fit between what we wanted and what they wanted. It's really helped us to retain the engineers we hired with James' help..”
VP of Engineer @ Series B Startup
“James performed outstanding work in helping me fill an engineering position at Stocktwits earlier this year. He conducted a thorough search after asking all the right questions, rapidly iterated on my feedback, and maintained prompt communication throughout. With a keen eye for identifying top technical talent, he provided a carefully curated selection of high-quality candidates from which we were able to quickly close the position. James comes highly recommended.”
SVP Technology & Product @ Large advertising Agency
“James is an expert at full-cycle recruiting and has an in-depth knowledge of the market. Just looking at his success, you can see that James has a knack for building strong relationships with his candidates and clients and those relationships have built long lasting partnerships. He is a straight shooter, knows the ins-and-outs of his clients requirements and you can trust that the people he is sending you are hogh quality candidates that he has fully vetted and believes in. I fully recommend James as a manager, recruiter, or business partner..”
