Finlay James are great

Finlay James are great. They really go above and beyond to make sure to find you a role that not only suits your needs but exceeds expectations. I felt especially looked after Emily, who worked tirelessly to find me roles that would be both challenging and well-ruminated.

I would advise anyone in the tech space to use them to find the next step in their career. Thanks again Emily!

Great working with Luke, a Finlay James consultant

Luke is an amazing recruiter! He is focused, smart, thorough and very friendly! He reached out to me about a role and was always available, offered me great tips and was indeed interested in how each step of the process went. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for opportunities in the SaaS industry!

Louis Chadwick

As a recent job hunter I had the pleasure of working with Louis throughout my search.

I cannot recommend him enough. From Day 1 his attention to detail on initial prospective roles matched my exact specifications.

Additionally, Louis was superb at keeping contact on any relevant updates for any of the processes I was in, assuring me of his professionalism and positive attitude towards his work.

I can only recommend him to anyone searching at the moment and would happily work with him again.

I was contacted by an FJ consultant and guided through a well structured process. While the search went on without me being considered for the final round I was both pleased with the day to day updates and the service offered by Finlay James. I can highly recommend the consultancy and would work with them at any time again.

"I had the pleasure to work with Kerry for a couple of months on different job openings. Kerry relentlessly looked at every opportunity that arose and compared them with my skills, experiences and interests.
We frequently discussed all openings and Kerry showed exceptional dedication in helping me to find the perfect fit. I am very pleased that Kerry was the one to help me secure the best role for me.
Her enthusiasm, staying power and expertise is only beaten by her charm.
Kerry remains the single point of contact for the future."

Top-Notch team, Pleasure working with Kerry

I recently had the pleasure of working with Kerry. I was seeking new work opportunities and she contacted me regarding a position that seemed to align well with my skills and experience. It turns out she did her research, because the job opportunity she proposed turned out to be a perfect fit for me.

She introduced me to the company, coordinated multiple interviews, provided me with advice and guidance, and made sure expectations were set all along the way. When it comes to interviews this is invaluable. Kerry made me aware of where I was during the entire interview process and made sure things were always moving forward. I have successfully landed the position and Kerry played a big part in making that happen. I highly recommend working with Kerry as she truly cares about her recruits and is kind and professional. Thanks Kerry!

Isabella is one of those people-person with whom you feel immediately comfortable to talk to. She is a good listener and a good communicator. She was very clear on the profiles she was researching and she directed me very specific questions in order to understand if I could be "the one", That's why I believe she is definitely able to match the right person to the right job.

She also assisted with great professional advises to support my career growth.

In my opinion, she simply loves what she does and that why she is able to convey that passion. And, you know, when people do things with passion the result is always exceptional.

Happy to have met you on my way Isabella :) Thanks for what you've done for me so far.

Kaleem has been (is still) an amazing recruiter, very thoughtful and careful about my application.

The summary email he sent me about the company was very complete and helpful. Plus the help he gives before the interviews is more than welcome.

I highly recommend him and whatever the outcome I'm glad to work with him.

Kind regards,

A great experience

Luke helped place me in the role with Netbase in April last year. He worked with me over a period of three months in finding me the ideal role. Although we did not find the exact role at first, he spent a lot of time in ensuring I found the right role to take my career forward. Throughout the process Luke was easy to work with and never pushy in forcing me to go to interviews to which I was not interested in. When it came to accepting the role, Luke was on hand till after late on a Tuesday night to take and deliver the offer to me. Luke is a recruitment consultant who is personable, and most importantly honest with lots of good contacts within AI/Social/Data Companies. I would highly recommend working with Luke if you are looking for the next role in your career.

Best recruitment experience!

Simply put I loved working with Luke! He was unique and unlike so many other recruiters as he took the time to understand what I was looking for and came back with a great selection of jobs. Throughout the whole recruitment process he was incredibly helpful (offering mentorship and guidance), hardworking, dedicated, and had a great sense of humour! Combined this was a recipe for success, helping make what can be a stressful process enjoyable. This resulted in me securing a fantastic opportunity which was the right for me. I have no doubt that I will work with him again in the future and would highly recommend him to anyone thinking of, or already exploring, new opportunities.
