Great experience - professional, knowledgeable, clear communication

I had a very positive experience with Barnie at Radley James. Barnie was always professional, attentive, and very knowledgeable. He maintained proactive and effective communication between all parties involved, and guided the entire process seamlessly. I always felt my concerns and questions were prioritized and addressed quickly. Could not have had a more positive experience.

The best headhunter for quant roles

A fantastic experience from start to finish. Ben presented a highly relevant, off-market opportunity that perfectly matched my skills. They managed the process seamlessly, providing great prep and feedback along the way. If you're serious about HFT or quant trading, this is who you should work with.

Moved countries thanks to Ollie

No doubt we all had numerous conversations with recruiters that end forever with a "keep in touch" text. Many people asked me how I got my awesome new job with relocation to Prague and I always start the story with saying that Ollie from Radley James was the recruiter that *actually* kept in touch. He is professional and stays greatly involved throughout the entire recruitment process, and even checks in occasionally. I was able to go to him with any question or concern I had about this huge opportunity that changed both my professional and my personal life. I have recommended him to other people, and will do it again.

Professional & Friendly Recruiting

I have now been placed in two different positions at two different firms by Oli & Radley James in the last 5 years. In addition to the two accepted offers, I've also worked with Oli on several other roles. In all cases, Oli was fantastic to work with. He was always professional, friendly, and empathetic. He would brief me before all my interviews and help get me in a position to succeed and come in prepared. I know I'm not the only person who's had similar positive experiences about working with Oli -- my boss in my last role also enjoyed working with Oli and spoke highly of him. If you're working with Oli, you're in good hands!

Haven't even heard back from them

Haven't even heard back from them.
I applied to one of the roles they advertised; CTO roles really are, but this was one of those. I applied, then followed up on email. I get it, you get a lot of applications. But, unless you started recruiting yesterday (that you certainly hadn't) you have a way to filter applicants and the least you can do is to respond, even with just a few words.
You know, it helps us feel human.

I get it, it's not ideal to write about experiences that are not great. But without feedback, things will not improve either. Sadly cannot put a real name for legal reasons from where I live. Sorry.

Radley James

Radley James, and especially Barnie Moul, have been instrumental in helping me secure two perfect job opportunities. Barnie provided exceptional support throughout the process—helping me prepare for interviews, proactively chasing feedback, and negotiating the best possible terms. I also want to mention Ben for his great assistance.

I highly recommend Radley James, Barnie, and Ben to anyone looking for roles in the software engineering space. Their professionalism, dedication, and expertise truly stand out!

A partnership that delivers

My experience with Radley James spans five years and has been consistently excellent. As a client, Barnie Moul quickly grasped our specific hiring requirements and consistently delivered high-caliber candidates. His practical, efficient method saved us valuable time and connected us with talent that has made a real difference to our team. Having first been a candidate myself, I benefited from his clear communication and steady support throughout the process. Barnie stands out through his deep industry knowledge and results-focused approach.

I confidently refer colleagues to Radley James knowing they'll build the same trusted relationship I've valued for my talent needs.

Reliable and professional recuitment agency

I had a great experience working with Radley James as a contractor for the last 6 months! The whole process was smooth from the first call with the client to getting the contract signed. A big thanks to Dagnė and Chloe!

My salary was consistently paid on time, which is crucial for contractors and gives great peace of mind.

I can't really complain, so if you're looking for a professional recruitment agency that treats contractors with respect, I'd highly recommend Radley James based on my positive experience.

Someone I can recommend without question

A friend introduced me to Cameron at Radley James and, as someone who highly values personal recommendations like this, I was not disappointed in my interactions with him and the enthusiasm he displayed.

Cameron put me at ease throughout the entire process of looking for a new role and was always putting my needs and requirements at the centre of the work we did together.

I am happy to say that Cameron fully understood the niche market I work within and the requirements for the senior role I applied for. At every stage of the process, he helped me prepare and present myself in the best light.

Happily, I received an offer for the role I applied for, and Cameron made sure to help me understand and compare the package being offered with my then-current role, to make sure I could make the most informed choice possible for the next phase of my career.

I genuinely feel that I have gained a friend and team-mate in Cameron during this process, and have recommended him to others since. I can therefore say without hesitation that I look forward to working with him in the future.
