Amara Sumiga is an amazing recruiter…

Amara Sumiga is an amazing recruiter who is defiantly going to have a successfully career in the recruitment industry. Amara, emailed me regarding an position via LinkedIn and didn't bombard me with emails, she contacted during convenient times to check how I was feeling before the interview and provided me with a lot of good feedback.

Avoid Louis, very unprofessional recruiter!

Louis is one of the worst recruiters I've dealt with in my life! Extremely unprofessional, I had 3 phone interviews over the phone with him, he wasn't even taking notes as he kept asking the same questions. When he finally forwarded my profile to the employer, he wasn't able to find a suitable time slot and kept offering morning ones knowing that I'm a full-time employee. I said no to him twice explaining I needed pm slots and I could tell he was not happy as his tone of voice completely changed. He never kept me in the loop unless I was following up with him!

Hi C,

We are very sorry that you feel you didn’t receive a good level of service from Finlay James and are shocked at your review which, to be honest, feels unfair. I know that you have spoken with Louis’ line manager since submitting the review to discuss this matter further and it has also been raised with our MD for review so I am sure you would agree that we have been proactive in trying to resolve any complaint.

Nadya helped me find a great opportunity on the digital market for a sales position, and I was very well advised in how to conduct the interviewing process. I must thank her also for the great job in following up with me and the company to rush the process and make things happen !

Thank you Isabella

Isabella was wonderful. She genuinely listened to what I had to say (unfortunately, doesn't happen all of the time!) and reassured my concerns. I also loved the interview prep and articles she sent me which was super helpful

Triin was amazing, she helped me so much all the way from the beginning of the process all the way until now. Even after I received the job offer she stayed in contact. She's an excellent professional and would recommend her to absolutely anyone.
Thank you Triin !!!!

Terrific recruitment experience

Having worked in the recruitment business previously, used recruiters for hiring my own staff and now have been a candidate, I think I am well experienced to know a good recruitment firm and more importantly a great recruiter. It is therefore very easy for me to recommend Finlay James and particularly Jasmin.
Jasmin identified my experience and skills and approached me with an opportunity perfectly suited for my background. The process was incredibly smooth and so well managed by Jasmin, all the interviews, feed backs, negotiations, offers, on-boarding were flawless - simply can't recommend enough the company and Jasmin on her work.

Finlay James is a great headhunting firm!

Finlay James is a great headhunting firm!

Emily, one of their Senior Executive Search Consultants, really made me feel supported during the recruitment process.

She also went the extra mile to provide the best service to me, as the candidate, and the company she was recruiting for.

Just to give an example: when she contacted me I felt she matched me with the perfect role. However, the role was based on a location I could not commit to. After receiving this information, Emily then when to the client, explained the situation, and arranged a chemistry meeting between myself and her client. The match was so good that Emily's client eventually decided to create another role for me. That was just magic!

The most professional and helpful guys in the city!

Before I got contacted by Finlay James I have had a chance to work with many recruitment firms in London. And honestly none of them is as good as FJ! These guys are very professional, extremely helpful and always available to answer any questions you might have.
Especially Emily. She went always the extra mile in order to guide me through the whole process.
This is very rare in London!
Excellent job FJ! Thank you so much for everything.

Having recently been placed by Aaron

Having recently been placed by Aaron, I found his professionalism and attention to detail extremely refreshing. Aaron really assessed my needs from the outset with regard to what I wanted from the next stage of my career. He took the time to listen to my personal and technical goals and found me a relevant and exciting role.
Aaron is easy-going, has an understanding attitude and is professional in the way he conducts himself. I would happily work with him again and recommend him to others.

Keep Up The Good Work Gregory!

Gregory reached out to me on LinkedIn with few job opportunities to offer. From the day one Greg introduced himself to me, he has been very professional and super friendly at the same time. He was extremely considerate of my choices and made sure I was happy with the positions which he has on offer for me. He has been tremendously supportive throughout the process by providing me with the useful information which I needed to succeed in my interviews. Gregory has great communicational and interpersonal skills and he is fantastic at his Job. I will recommend FJ and my friend Gregory Robbins to everyone out there looking for Jobs.
A massive thank you to you Gregory for your help, time and endless support.

Isabella is one of the most dedicated and supportive recruiters I've ever worked with. Every step of the way she made sure I had the tools I needed to succeed. While I did not end up taking the position she was recruiting for (my choice - it just wasn't the right fit), I would love to work with her and anyone else on the Finley James team again in the future.

Even though it was a short time, working with Jasmin was a pleasure and I felt very comfortable talking to her. Jasmin was helpful and genuine throughout the process and always listened to my expectations. She made the search enjoyable and was great at keeping me in the loop and giving me feedback. Overall I have had a great experience with Finlay James!

Emily is The best!

Emily is by far the best recruiter I have ever worked with!! It’s so challenging these days when on LinkedIn recruiters will reach out for roles that aren’t even relevant to your experience, so I understand how frustrating it can be to actually trust someone to work with you! Emily worked endlessly and maintained great communication and always provided a steady flow of company options, and advice. I really like as well that the CEO took time from his day to call me and give me his advise as well, you can tell they genuinely care about the placements they do! I would highly recommend Finley James to anyone within the tech sector especially in Sales. Thanks again Emily!

Isabella & Riq know how it's done!

It was a pleasure working with Isabella James in what can be a shaky process of exploring and deciding on a career move. She is super friendly and sincerely interested in what is best for you. She answered my questions and concerns honestly and succinctly, and always made sure to pass these along promptly to the employer. She is spot on with following-up after every call and interview, and makes sure you feel comfortable throughout the process. She readily provided every resource I'd need to succeed and made sure I got what I wanted out of this search. Thank you so much Bella!

Emily Lewis Highly Skilled Professional

Emily Lewis not only understood my need and personilzed her focus to deliver on her promise of getting me a job opportunity and gettong through an interview with a company that reflects my needs and aspirations. A truly skilled professional filled with Passion for the job and holding my best interest at heart.

High level of emotional & intellectual intelligence with a fit for purpose attitude offering a unique experience when it comes to recruitment life cycle. If you want outcome based mentality i.e an opportunity at something great Emily Lewis is the right person for the job.
