ABOUT US
Our story
Ashley James Consulting was founded in 2016, not to be different, the biggest or most profitable but to be the best in class for service and ethics. We’re a small (but mighty) team of dedicated, consultative and friendly recruiters whose aim is to help talented professionals like you to land your perfect career move and provide the best in class talent for our clients.
Our team don’t get paid to book interviews or hit phone times here, we’re here to add value, give a great experience, challenge your thinking and call when we said we’d call – We’ll always deliver on expectations and we certainly don’t beat around the bush, so whether its positive or negative, we’ll say it as it is because it’s important you know exactly where things stand, always.
Now, we can’t promise we’ll single-handedly change the entire sector, but we’ll give smart people like you the choice, an alternative option where you’re not pressured into anything and you’ll enjoy every minute of your experience with us.
