The best in the business
James has been incredible on a couple of occasions over the last couple of years when I’d been looking around at opportunities. Even when I ultimately couldn’t take roles, he was extremely patient and demonstrated that his concern was really only making sure I was making the correct decision for me.
His SEO background and exceptional industry knowledge made him an incredible soundboard for ideas on what type of career directions would suit me best. Nothing was too much trouble and he was always on hand for a chat if I had questions. This year, With Frontier placed me at a new role that is perfect for me, and this could only have been achieved thanks to the attention to detail and care shown when helping me to choose what my next best move was.
Whether you’re a candidate or an employer in the digital marketing space, I couldn’t recommend With Frontier any more highly.

Press Box Pr Experience
James Congdon came through for me at a time in which I needed a role after my role at SkySports which was coming to an end.
He offered me a new experience and role that was right up my street and was with me every step of the way by just connecting with me on LinkedIn.
It is quite late for me to do this but I just want to thank him.
I have been at this new place for 9 months now and still loving it!

James is by far the best recruiter ever
James is what every recruiter should aim to be!
By far the best recruiter I've ever been in contact with; with a strong understanding of the performance marketing landscape and a genuine passion for what he does, it was great to be able to speak to someone who understood exactly what I wanted.
He took the time to understand exactly what I was looking for, was super easy to talk to and very supportive througout the whole process. Everything was handled professionally with the utmost efficiency and I'm truly so grateful for his time. Bonus point for being super fun too!
Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a new role!
James was brilliant
James was brilliant with communication, very understanding and informative - would highly recommend in your job search!
An effortless experience from start to…
An effortless experience from start to finish. James was not a pushy recruiter by any means and rooted for me from the beginning.
He managed to secure me a job within 2 weeks after a very long and stressful job search after being made redundant. Unlike some recruiters I have come across, James took the time to understand what I was after and made sure the role suited me perfectly.
I was constantly kept in the loop with the interview process and wasn’t made to feel like just another candidate in the pile. He was also always on hand if I had any questions no matter what.
Couldn’t recommend James enough!
Super supportive recruiter- would highly recommend
Would highly recommend James, he's not pushy like most recruiters i've come across and actually takes the time to get to know you and what you're looking for in a role. Super supportive, really helped boost my confidence when applying for the role I wanted.
A great job hunt partner
Fast, efficient, and connected - everything you want in a recruiter!
WithFrontier didn’t cost money, they added value
I can comfortable say that in the little under a year I was lucky enough to have James’ support in filling roles across the digital landscape, he was hands down the best there was
He’s diligent, genuine, hardworking and generally a great guy.
Thanks James, and I hope to work with you again soon.
