People say the nicest things…

Before you commit to partnering with us, you want to know if we’re actually any good.

And we’re going to be a little bit bias, obviously.

So don’t take our word for it, take a read of what some of our clients and candidates have to say…

Clients

“Tasked with building up a new corporate communications team focused on graphic design and digital communication, Adam took the time to really understand our business, the opportunity and the long-term plans to find the right candidates who would fit the role and who would work well together as a team. I found Adam to not only be extremely professional in his approach, diligent, timely and communicative, but also determined to find the right candidates whilst always maintaining an open and transparent dialogue with me allowing our collaboration to be truly efficient and effective. Working with Adam was a pleasure and I would recommend him in an instant to anyone facing similar challenges.”

Paul Twiss, Marketing Director
“I worked with Adam to fill a number of roles on my Marketing team. Adam was extremely communicative throughout the process and highly professional. It is clear that he is passionate about what he does and is committed to finding the best possible candidates for the role at hand. I would definitely recommend Adam and his firm for companies looking to build out a winning Marketing team.”

Christie Lindstrom, Chief Marketing Officer
“I’ve worked with Adam in both ways – as a client looking for a role (which I then got and found fitted my requirements perfectly) and as a client hiring for roles through his agency. I have found him to be fantastic at sourcing great talent for me that fits the brief and budget. I have met some incredible individuals as a result of Adam and his team’s work and filled every role he has hired for me with suitable candidates.”

Celine Naude, Marketing Communications Director
“At the time of approaching Rosslyn David, we had been recruiting for an Events Specialist role for over six weeks, with little success. James knew the right questions to ask and understood our candidate requirements instantly, quickly turning around a shortlist of high-calibre candidates. One of this shortlist turned out to be the ideal candidate, ticking all of the boxes for our growing company. Based on my first experience of working with him, I'd highly recommend James and his thorough approach to anyone looking to hire the best talent into their Marketing team..”

Connor Jipps, Communications Manager
“James worked very hard to understand our needs and the culture of our business. He was a great support throughout the process, which has resulted in us hiring a great candidate. Thanks James for your insight and hard work.”

Mike Davies, Head of People Operations
"The recruitment process certainly had some bumps! With the specialist role we were advertising and the small pool of specialists in the area, it was difficult role to recruit for. James took the time to understand our business, the team and our real selling points to potential candidates. I’m sure there were a range of CV’s James could have put forward but by having the initial consultation, James understood the calibre of the candidate we needed and only sent experienced candidates across that suited the specialism we were after.”

David Pope, Head of Marketing
“Harry has been absolutely superb in placing two members of our account management team. I’m not sure how he managed it twice, but he truly understood the brief and has been a brilliant guide in navigating recruitment new talent in the current climate. If you’re a sales & marketing leader, you will love the service Harry provides.”

Olivia Riches, Group Account Director
“Adam and his team did a very thorough and quick job of obtaining great candidates for a key role for us. We only had to interview 3 before we found the best candidate, who soon joined and doing a great job. Adam's personal and honest approach is refreshing and greatly appreciated. Quality is absolutely a focus here!"”

Sarah Tyler, Human Resources Manager
"Harry worked on a vital placement for our business. He understood the brief perfectly and sourced two highly suitable candidates that we had difficulty in choosing between at final stage. He is a great communicator, does what he says, and is someone I’d absolutely trust to fill future marketing roles."

Joel Garthwaite, CMO
"Adam is a bit different as a recruiter. An open, direct and straight talking approach which is different to a lot of the me-too agencies that are out there. And he works hard to find quality candidates that actually match your brief, while challenging you that you've got the right brief in the first place. I've hired from Adam previously and had team members join me that went on to have really successful roles within my businesses thanks to making the hiring process simpler and with the 'right' people. I'd recommend Adam to you if you're looking to do the same."

Adam Chapman-Ballard, Head of Commercial
“Adam’s professional and honest approach to hiring in talent was a real breath of fresh air. Unlike other recruiters, he was in constant communication with us and acted as a consultant for us when we were hiring for our roles. Will definitely be using Adam again and would highly recommend.”

Helen Workman, Head of Retail and Consumer Marketing

Candidates

“Adam was super friendly and communicative throughout the hiring process. He was particularly good at regularly checking in on both sides and this really helped condense the timeline from first interview to final offer. This took a lot of the pain out of a process that often drags on unnecessarily.”

Kit McKay, Content Manager
“Many thanks to James for helping me find my new role as Product Marketing Manager. As a recruiter, he was a delight to work with. I loved how grounded and reliable he was during the application process. Even when he was dashing to the hospital to welcome the birth of his new baby, he was checking in on me and making sure my handover with his colleague went smoothly and I was being looked after. Definitely went above and beyond!! Highly recommend James as a reliable and easy-going communicator.”

Krystyna Coyle, Product Marketing Manager
“I am fortunate to have had the opportunity to work with such a dedicated and knowledgeable job placement professional. I would not hesitate to recommend James' services to anyone seeking top-tier assistance in their job search."

Elliott Dennahy, Video Editor
“I get several messages asking me to look at job profiles (which I usually ignore), but I read Harry's in full and replied within 30 minutes. Why? Because it wasn't an automated message which was essentially 'click bait' (you know the "here's a great role, but you'll need to contact me for the most basic of details" message I seem to get every week). Instead, I received a well crafted personal message which contained lots of information on the role and why I'd be a fit. I scheduled a call and Harry was as pleasant on the phone as he was via message. I'm now working in a new industry which I find very exciting and can honestly say I wouldn't be here without his help.”

Bhavik M, Account Director
"Adam is a great communicator, provides good advice and is committed to providing valuable service. Adam helped me find a job I now love and made the whole process quick, smooth and without any stress. He was very quick to communicate all the updates to me and was a good listener/adviser when I needed to address any of my concerns. I would highly recommend Adam both to hiring managers and to candidates alike."

Nare Gabrielyan, Product Marketing Manager
"A big thank you to James for helping me take the leap and land a fantastic role at a very exciting company! James is professional yet completely down to earth and provided me with great advice at every stage of the recruitment process. He is by far the best recruiter I have worked with; he is honest, transparent, a great communicator and made me feel at ease during the whole application process. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a new opportunity!"

Mikey Anderson, Product Marketing Manager
"From the beginning, James was very attentive to what I was looking for, which gave me a lot of confidence. He would inform me of roles that matched my requirements, was very proactive in his approach, and was alwys on hand to listen to what I had to say. I'd like to thank James for all the support that he gave me."

Lewis Findley - Marketing and Communications Manager
"If it weren’t for Adam…! Adam saw in me a match for a great job that others hadn’t. Whilst my ‘title’ didn’t match the role for which he was recruiting, he saw past that, took a chance, delved deeper and really understood my skills and experiences. The end result, I am in a role that really, 100% suits! Thank you Adam!"

Emma Scholes, Director of Marketing
"James was a pleasure to work with during my search for a new role and also afterwards. He maintained a good level of honest communication throughout the process and shared useful insight where it was appropriate. He was always professional but added a nice human (No pun intended ;)) element to the process which goes a long way with me. I would definitely recommend talking to James if you are interested in looking for a new role."

James Webb, Channel Marketing Manager
"James has hands down been the best headhunter I've worked with when looking for a new job. Honest and upfront from the first chat I had through to being accommodating on whether an offer is right or not I can't thank him enough for the support and will without hesitation work with him again in the future"

Nicholas Buttery, Product Marketing Manager
"Adam showed me a very different experience to the typical recruitment process. He took the time to explain each stage of the interviews - what to expect, how to prepare, guiding me through feedback and really taking the time to ensure I was comfortable and confident through the entire process. It was a great experience and I'm extremely happy to say I got the job! I highly recommend Adam."

Annabel Woodbridge, European Marketing Agency Director
"James was by far the best recruiter I have ever worked with. Unlike other recruiters that leave both the client and the candidate in the dark, James consistently provided clear communication that made me feel comfortable with James handling my application. Rosslyn David are great overall, but James is a jewel in the crown and provides an exceptional service."

Matt Freestone, Marketing Manager
