What people say about James

Working with James Mawby at Zenopa has enabled me to rapidly accelerate my candidate pipeline and successfully hire great people for several global marketing roles within the space of a few months and in a very competitive recruitment market. I’d been experiencing real challenges finding the necessary mix of market, commercial, application and scientific experience. James did not flood me with candidates but instead carefully selected a few quality people that fitted my needs. He quickly dialled in to the right profile based on my early feedback and continued to keep the candidates engaged as we progressed the selection process. Nick Brain
I have recently been placed with James Mawby at Zenopa and the service I received was excellent. The verbal communication was very good, and this was always confirmed and followed up with an email detailing all the information required for the meetings with potential employers. Regular contact was made before and after interviews to check in and ensure there were no further questions or queries. This continued after the offer was made to ensure everything had run smoothly with the contract and final details. I wouldn’t hesitate to use Zenopa again and would recommend to other colleagues in the industry. It has been a very positive experience from start to finish. L Smith
