“We engaged JBM to lead our COO search, a critical hire as we scale our AI-driven cardiology platform. From the first conversation, they understood not just the role, but the kind of leader we needed culturally and strategically. They mapped a strong candidate pool quickly and were a genuine thought partner throughout. We made a hire we’re genuinely excited about, efficiently and without cutting corners on quality.”
“You’ve been amazing to work with, definitely the best experience I’ve had with a recruitment partner.”
“Worked with James and really impressed with his partnership. Ran an efficient and collaborative process. Builds meaningful relationships extremely well and really listens and tailors the experienced to both the candidate and company/leadership. On top of it all, he and his team are fast, responsive and engaged. Highly recommend JBM.”
“We’ve rarely reached a decision so quickly in a recruitment process. The strong profiles JBM shared, together with their clear and structured approach, made everything straightforward. They were easy to communicate with and brought real value through their network.”
“If you were to define your ideal search partner, JBM would be it. Aside from the fact they’re great people who are lovely to work with, they are fully invested in the outcome for both company and candidate. They put a huge amount of thought into the connections they make, leveraging long-term networks built on trust, and this shines through in the quality of the opportunity as a candidate. Every touch point with JBM is top notch. Couldn’t recommend them more highly.”
“We have been working with James and JBM on a number of critical hiring for Ankorstore. We have never been disappointed by the quality of the candidates but also by the professionalism of the processes! Thanks for having contributed to our success in such a meaningful way.”
“I could not be more impressed with my experience of working with James and his team at JBM. Having worked with many executive headhunters, JBM stood out…The quality of the opportunities were outstanding. They opened doors to remarkable high growth companies that perfectly matched my criteria.“
“James brings a clear understanding of the needs of growing organisations and the functional requirements of operations within these kind of companies. He recognises the varying nature of operational and strategic leadership and how companies need different profiles depending on where they’re at in their journey.
His commitment to supporting the space goes beyond recruitment, he is genuinely interested in what the sector needs and how best to support it through its ups and downs. He goes out of his way to add value – building relationships, making connections, facilitating discussions about the sector and promoting thought leadership. All in all, he’s a great partner to organisations as they navigate their path to growth.“
“JBM were responsive, highly professional & sourced candidates that were a cut above other search firms I’d worked with in the past. They managed to identify a rockstar COO & were with us every step of the journey from interview to close. I was particularly impressed by the rigour & depth of candidate/business understanding & the personalised approach.”
“A true delight working with JBM on our COO search at OLIX. A C-suite search, opened and closed in +2 months – the result speaks for itself! Thank you JBM for your partnership on this super critical hire.”
“JBM placed me into a fantastic COO role at OLIX. I would recommend them unreservedly to any Founder looking for a headhunter who takes a considered, relationship-led approach to executive search”
“What stood out was JBM’s ability not just to find strong candidates, but to truly excite them about the opportunity — something many search firms miss. They gave me thoughtful guidance throughout, from prep to positioning to keeping momentum high. We hired an outstanding candidate I never thought we’d be able to attract, and I learned a huge amount from JBM through the process.”
“We’ve used JBM for multiple hires over the years and are always impressed with the end result. Super responsive, great candidate experience and importantly fun people to work with. I’d highly recommend.”
“It’s not just that the JBM team are connected to great companies with great roles – they give great advice and I fully trust them to help me navigate the process. Strongly recommend.”
“Under James’ leadership, JBM’s unparalleled focus on value alignment and culture-add has been instrumental in the buildout of our team. Understandably such thoughtful searches usually take time, but JBM has been able to deliver at an outstanding speed – all the while offering a great candidate / hiring team experience. It’s been a genuine pleasure to work with James and his team, and I highly recommend JBM for any mission-driven startups and organisations.”
“Marina has been great from brief until close: within a week of the brief, we were meeting with 4 outstanding candidates and had two candidates at final stage within 2 weeks. She provided us with great candidates and benchmarking insights, making sure the process was completely streamlined and that we had a back up candidate. We have now made a fantastic interim COO hire which allowed Yapily to not rush the full-time hire. I would not hesitate to go back to JBM in the future.”
“JBM understood what we were looking for as a fast-growing technology company. They were able to meet our key requirement to balance speed with the highest quality and through their network of high quality interim executives, they really delivered what we needed.”
“JBM came highly recommended to us, and they more than lived up to that reputation. It was a thorough and refreshingly efficient process, giving us a really strong shortlist to choose from and a brilliant hire – who was culturally spot on and has made an immediate, meaningful impact. We’d happily recommend them as an excellent search partner – they really know their stuff and are good fun to work with!”
“James was exceptional from the very start of my search. He quickly understood what I was looking for, offered thoughtful, candid advice and guided me towards the Fyxer role, which turned out to be a great fit. He’s smart, supportive and genuinely brilliant to work with. I couldn’t have asked for a better helping hand!”
They go beyond the immediate talent pools where you would find traditional profiles and backgrounds to really unearth really talented and diverse hires.”
