Testimonials

Marketing Director - Subscriptions I worked with James recently on a difficult brief. He was absolutely excellent, finding great candidates and running the process very professionally. James went beyond the call of duty and gave me great advice throughout the process. He knows both marketing and recruitment extremely well and his advice on structures and job roles and specifications was very helpful. He was a true partner in the process and someone I felt I could bounce ideas and strategies off very easily. I highly recommend him if you are looking for good marketing people.

Brand Marketing Director - Tech I was approached on LinkedIn by James this summer. Unlike many headhunters that broadly approach candidates, James was very targeted and understood my skills and market very well. He was able to suggest a career opportunity that I was immediately interested in pursuing and that matched my experience and abilities perfectly. Throughout the interview process James was very supportive and showed extraordinary knowledge and capability in offering advice and coaching. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend James to experienced candidates looking for a career move.

Marketing Director - Financial Services Even as he's moved companies James has kept in contact with me over the years. I think his knowledge of financial services and understanding of how marketing operates within that industry has helped hugely in finding me a position at the right level. TML Partners puts a clear focus on quality service and keeping in touch with their clients throughout the job search process.

Marketing Director - Financial Services James took his time, ensuring he recommended me for opportunities that were a good fit for both me and the prospective employer. Where many consultants shore-horn you into the first thing that comes up, James offers genuine consultancy. I'd have no hesitation in recommending him to others looking to make the next move in their career.

Marketing Director - Insurance James is a mover and shaker, so if you're ready to start a new role you've got the best partner in James. He isn't swayed by obstacles, and certainly was my greatest champion when I found myself at a defining point in my career. He equipped me with valuable CV advice, and hooked me up with a fabulous company. I highly recommend James as a professional recruiter.

Head of Digital Marketing - Consumer; James is my idea of a super recruiter. He placed me in my current role having taken the time to properly understand my skills, experience and career ambitions. James works proactively, professionally and is a great people person, which makes him an absolute pleasure to work with. He’s also a great communicator and clearly understands client needs and the sectors they work in. James is a real asset.
