Jamie was a great resource for me whilst I was searching for a role that would be a good fit. Looking for suitable employment during the pandemic has been difficult but Jamie was great at bringing excellent international opportunities to my attention and helping me through the interview process for various roles. Thank you Jamie for being patient and for truly listening to what I wanted as we worked together to find a role that aligned with my career goals and aspirations!

I recently had the pleasure to deal with Jamie, who helped me with my move to Dubai. He is one of the most honest, trustworthy, and experienced recruiters out there (which is not something easy to get by in the recruitment business). He also has a deep knowledge of the legal market in the Middle East and is therefore very highly recommended.
