Bio
John Howe
From the start James understood my role as his recruiter. He knew that by being open, honest and clear about his requirements, that I could do my job properly. This is rare in a candidate and gave me a lot of condifence in his ability to successfully secure the job that I approached him about. Add to this a likeable, professional and engaging personality, I was not surprised that he was successful and will continue to be so into the future.
