Rose-Marie Karlsson
Chief Sales Officer Kartell
James is a true professional, who puts not only his experience and knowledge in what he does, but also his heart. He’s always doing what’s best both for the hiring company and the candidate, even if that would mean sacrificing his own immediate return, ensuring a win-win situation for both parties and solid long-lasting results. Finding and bringing onboard the right candidates for a Sales position in London is terribly challenging, but with James support this time it has been different. I can strongly recommend James to any design or luxury furniture brand in the industry that need a partner to find the right candidates.

His punctuality and communication meant that I was always involved in the process and knew exactly what stage I was at through an interview. His experience within the field allowed for him to advise me in depth based off of his own learnings and relationships with companies. Overall a 10/10 experience, he matched me with a job in a company that was aligned with exactly what I was looking for”

What we really like about collaborating with James and Collate is their “People First” approach. They’re not just placing candidates for roles in companies. On one hand, this means that there is extra care in understanding more about the business and what a client is looking for; on the other end, it means understanding on a personal level and that candidates truly are interested in collaborating with your business.
Professionality and respect are a constant throughout the process.
