I have worked with James & Cranwell since 2021, recruiting for several senior executive positions. Warren and his team are excellent communicators, understanding the company’s needs and culture. They are fast, organised, and provide valuable feedback. They challenge and guide the process, delivering more than expected. The fees are worth it, and the recruited roles have seamlessly integrated into the organisation. The agency represents modern business needs and approaches candidates with confidence and care. I can highly recommend James & Cranwell without hesitation.
