Clients

Our executive search team starts by really getting to know you and your business. We’re interested in Founders’ stories; your dreams, your culture and of course your resourcing needs. Once we understand that, we set about finding the most culturally aligned world class leaders, to ensure you can continue to scale at pace.

Panning for gold with our in-depth candidate research

Clients often come to us with a sense of frustration over the executive search process. It takes time and expertise; these roles are business-critical and expensive to fill. We work across all sectors and stages of growth. Our agile approach and trusted networks enable us to find hidden gems of talent. And not always the ones that look right on paper! We invite you to think differently with us.

”James did a phenomenal job recruiting our first COO. We were blown away by the quality of candidates he put in front of us, which came from his network. He handled the process brilliantly, as this was the first time we’d made a hire of this nature. James gave us great advice on how to handle the process and also was very quick with feedback as we went along. I’d recommended JBM to any entrepreneurial business looking to make their first big hire.”

"JBM are really good at what they do. We are super impressed with the level of CVs they have sent across."

Rebecca Masri MBE, CEO

"James is an absolutely first class executive recruiter. Simple as that. Unlike other recruiters I’ve worked with, he immediately grasped the nuances of the type of candidate I was looking for and he was able to source amazing candidates rapidly. I really appreciate how James doesn’t take a tick-box approach to recruiting, but instead thinks laterally and creatively about how to find the very best talent. I highly recommend him and JBM."
