Services
The business view their Actuarial team in extremely high regard and they see the reserving analysis as being crucial to their view of profitability. Please get in touch with Ross Anderson on 0203 861 9206 for a discussion. I'm on the look out for an Actuary with a strong interest in Portfolio Optimisation and working very closely with the underwriting team.
We specialise in the Digital, Sales and Marketing space, with a strong focus on requirements and clients across multiple industries, from corporates/enterprises all the way through to start-ups and FinTech. Specifically, we manage searches within the Digital Marketing sector, in particular relating to Web Analytics, Product Design, Performance Marketing and Ecommerce.
We understand that a business is only as good as its people, so when identifying the right person for a permanent appointment, our service propositions go far beyond the initial matching of the skills and immediate needs of both your business and those candidates who may be relevant. The closest service to an end-to-end executive search process but with reduced time-to-hire and no financial risk.
My family and I felt at ease throughout the entire recruitment process. The level of service provided by the team meant that we were able to settle into our new life extremely quickly. I wanted to move away from the city to improve my quality of life without impacting my career. Thanks to the guidance from the team at OJ this was made possible.

This has got to be one of the worst recruitment agency out there. Particular mention towards Nathan Burke who has not bothered to respond to any of my emails nor messages. They demand upfront references and c.v all to fish and steal contacts from ones c.v. This agency is a rubbish trying to act as if they are a professional compliance consultancy.
The only decent agent in this place is Helen Bilsbourough (however she has moved over to the US branch)she is excellent and is smart. I am so extremely disappointed with Oliver James. What happened to this consultancy? It used to hold weight and was amazing. Need serious restructure and hire agents who know about compliance and risk.

Wow! Had I read the reviews before agreeing to work with this agency I wouldn't have bothered. Unprofessional runs through their veins. Worked for a client via this agency. I fell ill after 3 days. Informed recruitment consultant throughout my entire illness. Sadly contract was terminated. Agent Olly Harrhy worked with me to ensure my laptop/equipment was returned (which I would have done regardless).
Shortly after my equipment was received I received an email from Olly to say that I would not be getting paid. It has taken 3 weeks to finally get hold of someone only to be told it is not their problem. So I pretty much worked for free and the fact that I fell ill meant nothing. After reading these reviews it all makes sense. Disappointing. These people seriously could not care less about clients.

Appallingly arrogant and incompetent. After a first call where they display connections in an attempt to showcase their potential, they turn silent with the excuse that they are busy with clients. Poor clients who pay this agency to do nothing but mock candidates. Dear OJC clients, I do hope you will soon realise that this agency is nothing but a waste of money and good candidates. Dear fellow candidates, expect to be mocked by them in an email where you are cc'ed. If I could give it 0 stars I would gladly do it.

The consultants at Oliver James have rang/e-mailed me over the last 6 months with roles but go quiet when nothing comes through with any follow up. Also they sent me forward for an interview in October 2019 but didn't have the decency to give me any interview feedback. When I spoke to their consultants, they simply said its not my client and another of their colleagues is dealing with it.

We just sold our house and bought the next one through Oliver James in Witney, and cannot recommend them highly enough. It was refreshing to work with two genuinely down to earth but professional agents such as George and Robin, who are fantastically supported by their team. The path to exchange and completion is not often smooth but the team ensured it was navigated with prompt service, humour and a genuine desire to help.
Robin took the lead on our move and went more than the extra mile in bridging the gaps and speeding up the communications between solicitors, vendors and buyers.
