Alex has helped me a lot during this uncertain time. After being made redundant Alex and I spoke a lot on the phone. He found the perfect company to fit my skills and career desires. I couldn’t have done it with out him. I strongly recommend Alex as a skilled recruiter with contacts that can help you progress your career going forward. As a former recruiter myself I find Alex a rare breed as far as the constant contact and chats we had!! I can’t thank him enough

Alexander James Recruiting offer outstanding support and assistance in finding a new role. They are appointed by companies to recruit for them but they quite clearly want the best for the candidates too. They are very knowledgeable of the companies they are recruiting for and provide invaluable advice and guidance with regards to the interview process. Once I had been offered my new role they still remained in contact, ensuring I had received my offer / contract and was prepared for my first day. They have since been in touch asking how I’m getting on. I would highly recommend getting in touch with them for help finding your next new role.

Area Sales Manager - Doosan Forklifts

I left my previous role and within a few days a consultant at Alexander James Recruiting had found that I was looking for work on LinkedIn and contacted me. They had several vacancies to offer and after sending my CV they had me an interview within hours. They kept me well informed of progress and landed a second interview and consequently got a start date . They were a pleasure to deal with and managed the whole process until my start date by keeping in touch regarding my employment.
