I have no hesitation in recommending James Carss and Castle Peak Group to anyone seeking support in the recruitment of Senior and Executive Officers and non-Executive board Directors. James is fantastic to work with, he goes the extra mile to understand your business and its needs, his approach is exceptionally professional and responsive, and he has an enviable reputation and business network. All of this means James always presents exceptional candidates for consideration, as well as being a pleasure to work with!

I’ve known James for several years through various recruitment processes and I have always found him very easy to work with… whether looking to recruit or are a potential candidate, James is a good listener which always means he quickly grasps a situation and is good at working to find the right candidates with the required skills and talents to interview… all of this, while approaching recruitment processes in a highly professional manner. I’ve worked with James on both sides of the table and as a candidate I have discovered that he is good at identifying the best candidates and has an exceptional talent for putting people at their ease helping ensure they are fully prepared for any recruitment process.

Castle Peak is highly professional and experienced in its field, providing insightful briefings and succinct and timely communication. The whole candidate process is smooth and considered with real attention to detail while being very responsive and adept at giving beneficial feedback. In combination, this results in an excellent client service, setting a very high standard.

When I wanted to establish a business with a brand new team of Executive level founders, James Carss was the natural partner to help us identify and recruit the wide range of skill sets we needed to ensure our success. They took the time to understand our requirements, timing and budget considerations to make sure we brought the right people in board.
