James Ellis

I had the pleasure to talk to James when I was in process of changing from sell-side advisory to buy-side private equity six months ago. I have waited this long to write a testimonial as I wanted to see how close reality was to the ‘sales pitch’. Based on similar previous processes that I have been in, I can truly say that James and all the people I talked to at PER during the recruiting process were exceptional. James had a clear understanding of the job, what to expect and was always available to discuss career path and personal fit for my new employer. Even though recruitment agents are sellers, and often the discussion is colored to place you as a potential candidate, James did not take that approach and always had an objective view in our discussion, which was highly appreciated. Thus, to summarize – as a company looking for a recruitment agent or as someone looking for a new job, I can highly recommend James and PER.

Great support throughout, regular updates and availability for advice.

James has done an excellent job on a recent hiring process for us. At the outset, he invested a good amount of time discussing and understanding our ideal candidate profile, of the back of which, he ran a smooth and structured process which led to a high calibre hire. We are very pleased with the new addition to our team, and would certainly consider working with PER on other future mandates.

James understood our requirements extremely well and we were pleased with the way in which he managed our engagement from start to finish. We are delighted with our new team member and look forward to continuing to work with PER going forward for future hires.
