ABOUT US
Why we stand out
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 recruiters and sales professionals like you to land your perfect career move and provide the best in class talent for our clients. KPI’s don’t exist here, our team don’t get paid to book interviews or hit phone times, 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. We don’t beat around the bush so whether your feedback is positive or negative, we’ll say it as it is because it’s important you know exactly where things stand, always.
Rec2Rec and Sales Recruitment are some of the most hated sectors in our industry, some operating in these sectors have terrible reputations for shoe-horning people into jobs, pestering people all day about falsely represented opportunities and all sorts of other underhand tactics. 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. We’ve partnered with the very best clients in these markets and with every one of the team having sat on the other side of the fence our mantra is simple;
- We don’t partner with any businesses we wouldn’t work for ourselves and…
- We don’t represent candidates we wouldn’t be willing to pay a fee for ourselves.
We’re pretty good, try us.
