I have worked with James & Cranwell since 2021, recruiting several senior executive positions. Warren, Matthew, and their team are excellent communicators, understanding the company’s needs and culture. They are fast, organized, and provide valuable feedback. They challenge and guide the process, delivering more than expected. The fees are worth it, and the recruited roles have seamlessly integrated into the organization.
