Currently the proud founder and director of Walker James Group, a newly formed international head hunting firm solely committed to the chemical industry. You can find more about the company on it's page, but this part is for you to get to know me a little bit more...Want to know what a business owner, ex car sales man, labrador fanatic, terrible golfer, coffee addict and recruiter all in one person looks like? There is a picture of one at the top of this profile....I'm a straight talking and passionate recruiter, I wear my heart on my sleeve and am like a kid in a sweet shop when it comes to sales buzzwords and cliché quotes. I love and take very seriously the challenge of finding and helping professionals at all levels within chemical industry.So recruitment; Where – US and EuropeWho – Mid-level up to senior level executives and leadersWhat – Chemicals: Invested in Sustainability and Technology, but recognize the huge importance in ensuring raw material and specialty material production gets its fair share of great people, so work across it all.How – Retained searches and head hunting – you get what you pay for (told you I love the clichés!) My approach is to wade through the weak, sniff out the bullshit and seek out the ideal balance of culture, skill, and attitude.Why – I detest tick boxes for matching resumes to job briefs. I am about the person behind the skills and the leader behind the business. Sure matching skills is easy, but getting the culture fit right will guarantee the best ROI for both business and employee. I moved into recruitment after suffering a similar fate, and the passion and tenacity still fits within me to make sure no-one ever gets shoe horned into a role or company.So if you are a professional who after some self-criticism wants and or needs something new; or are a business who are diversifying, growing, replacing or anything, you now know who I am, what I am and where I am.Available 24/7, 365 on email, skype, Teams, LinkedIn, phone, text, WhatsApp, Facetime or even pigeon carrier; but not twitter (it’s not my style).
