James’s testimonials
Senior Associate | International Law Firm
“James did a fantastic job of assisting in finding me a new role which allowed me to relocate to Birmingham. Guidance was given at each step of the recruitment process as James and the team were communicative throughout. Taylor Root was able to give sector-specific advice and found great job opportunities (despite the market being difficult).”
Senior Associate | International Law Firm
“James and all the team at Taylor Root were so helpful from day one. James put me at ease, was able to answer all my questions and encouraged me. He took my responses and made suggestions for roles I would never have considered on my own and I’m so glad he did because I’ve landed in a role where I know I will be challenged, but will thrive. James’ knowledge of the market is next to none and his relationships with individual firms means he is able to thoroughly prepare candidates before interviews. I really enjoyed the whole process and would recommend James and Taylor Root to anyone considering a change in role – thank you.”
