About

🔵 I’m a Principal Researcher & Training Specialist at Intelligent People Ltd, specialising in placing experienced hires within Product Management & Marketing across the UK and internationally for some of the fastest scaling organisations. 🔵 I manage the full recruitment lifecycle for each vacancy from client briefing through the interview stages (preparation and feedback) to offer management and closing. Afterwards I continue to communicate with clients and candidates during the pre-boarding and check-in regularly during onboarding, making sure all stakeholders are satisfied. 🔵 I also conduct frequent mapping and industry sectors research for New Business Development and Executive Search purposes. Please see below some testimonials ⤵️ 🔷️ Ben Mort, Head of Product at Vivantio: "I'm really grateful to James for identifying me as a great match for an exciting new role, and happily the company felt the same! Throughout the recruitment process, James was attentive, thorough and reassuring. I can't speak highly enough of him. Thanks James!” 🔷️ Dimos Papadopoulos, Senior Product Manager at ATG: “I have had the chance to collaborate with James Austin when looking for new Product opportunities. James has been quite thorough & elaborate in sharing details on open roles as well as giving insight across the organizations he's been managing recruitment efforts for. Always transparent as well as guiding every step of the way during the interview processes." 🔷️ Abigail Johnson, Head of Marketing at Brain in Hand: "James worked as the recruiter to hire me into my current position, and I can honestly say from a candidate's perspective that he was the best recruiter I've worked with. Clear communication, fast follow ups, and transparent and helpful through the process. I had the same positive comments from my (now) employer, and we're planning on working with him again to hire for some new roles to expand my team."
