Loved working with David! Honestly, I hate recruiters, most are self-absorbed people just out there for a commission. They don’t give proper feedback and most of the time don’t get back to you if you... See more

David was very professional…

David was very professional communicative and responsive from the start of the process. Have used the services of recruiters from both sides for many years and this was far and above the best service I have experienced. Well done and thank you David.

Great recruiter

I have spoke with and used a number of recruitors over the years and from a candidate prospective, David and Jammy are one of the best. Kept me fully informed through the process, made sure the package was understood by both sides to stop any shocks. Gave me great insight into the company and the role. Would thoroughly recommend using Jammy.

Big thanks to Jammy Recruitment

Big thanks to Jammy Recruitment! I was quite anxious about the entire interview process, but their guidance was invaluable. I received plenty of helpful tips and their excellent support truly made a difference. They treated me respectfully and allowed me to collaborate with David at my own pace. Opting for extensive assistance proved to be a great choice as it ultimately led to success. Having a supportive partner like David by my side, cheering me on and boosting my confidence, was wonderful. It’s clear that David genuinely cares beyond just fulfilling his role; he went the extra mile to ensure I was well-prepared and confident throughout the interview process. Now, I’m excited to excel in my new job. Thanks again, Jammy Recruitment!

A recruitment consultant to trust…

A recruitment consultant must always appear to be working for the candidate (to the candidate) and for the employer (to the employer). They deal with two fickle and jittery characters both of whom probably have many other irons in their fires. This means that the consultant might put in hours of hard work for zero recompense. So they often sound and give the impression of "Old Gil" (Simpsons Reference).

David is one of the few who seamlessly make you feel that you are the only candidate. He makes time to speak to you, to share insight, and to work hard to ready you both for the interview(s) and for the "reading between the lines" work as well. It is great to have someone to talk to and someone who was also happy to discuss other opportunities, with other consultants from other agencies. It is rare to get two offers in the same day and David helped me objectively to make a decision - the other agent in the pack actually did the same (and I have known him for at least eight years!). I feel confident that I have made the right decision and very happy to have met and worked with David.

Wow - what a review!

Thank you.

And as others have stated before I do try and provide a consultative approach which is underpinned by trust and integrity. Given it mirrors another consultant that you have know for eight years is testament to that point.

All the best in the new role. You'll be ace!

Excellent Mentoring

I simply cannot thank David enough for the time and guidance he has afforded me. His philosophical approach to professional transitioning is sublime. David has authored a guide too, this itself is an amazing tool that I keep referring back to. Big thanks from me.

Communication is critical. And that's why we're passionate about ensuring open, honest and clear communication throughout the process.

Equally it's only fair to provide specific feedback enabling you to take forward.

Attentive and Supportive

David was very attentive and helpful during the process of applying for a role. Ensuring all the information was available to me and checking in on my progress on interview prep. Though I was not successful in achieving the role on this occasion, I feel more than comfortable and look forward to engaging with David for potential future roles.

Outstanding Service - Would Use Again

Incredibly professional with a great attention to detail, Jammy succeeded where others had failed. Jammy presented only great candidates that were well aligned with the brief given, making the process very efficient and far easier than most. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Jammy or use them again.

Jammy Recruitment - A refreshing client and candidate experience

David and the Jammy Recruitment brand bring a refreshing client and candidate experience to the market.
The quality of questions asked during the initial briefing led to a well-written job advert which appealed to the pool of candidates we were aiming to attract.
The briefing notes on why a candidate is being recommended are second to none at this level of recruitment.
The importance Jammy place on the clarity of feedback given by candidates and to candidates is wonderful to see in a market where results count but how we achieve those results often doesn't - after all, there are people looking to make a living at the end of every decision we make in these processes.
Highly recommended.

Excellent recruitment!

David offered great advice, support and guidance for finding my ideal next finance leadership role. Although ultimately this wasn't a role he was professionally hiring for!
As a candidate I can highly recommend Jammy Recruitment to listen and understand your job search and ensure the role specification/person specification/culture and fit is correct. And this attention to detail can only be a bonus from the client perspective!
Thank you David, for your endless positivity!

Refreshing approach...

it's deliberately designed to buck the trend of mediocre, average or sub-standard. Candidates and Clients deserve so much better and hopefully the industry will start to take notice and elevate their service standard because everybody deserves better.

Finance professional turned professional Finance recruiter

What would I look for when recruiting a key finance position, in a sea of generic 'specialist finance recruiters'?

A Head of Finance turned recruiter whose accomplishments is shown in these reviews?

Someone whose insight has been gained professionally, rather than by google?

Who can challenge constructively for the right outcome?

And who engages candidates engagingly, with skill, empathy and compassion?

That's where Jammy speak volumes, and you should listen, whether you too are hiring or looking to be hired.

As you say the accomplishments shine through in the reviews of other people who appreciate a fusion of Head of Finance and Recruitment advice helping them in their careers. Or hiring their next top talent.

Because being outcome obsessed creates a healthy and constructive challenge which elevates the result.

And that's why so many hiring managers use Jammy on a sole agency basis!

Thank you so much for your kind comments and taking your time to read the other reviews thoroughly.
