James Mitchell

With over 17 years of experience in IT recruitment, I've been connecting talented professionals with leading organisations across Yorkshire since 2007.

My journey in tech recruitment has given me a front-row seat to the incredible evolution of the industry – from the early days of basic web development to today's cutting-edge AI and cloud technologies. And yes, the years have definitely added a few more grey hairs along the way! My Approach: Transparency First, I believe in complete transparency throughout the recruitment process. No hidden agendas, no false promises – just honest conversations about opportunities, realistic expectations, and genuine career advice. This approach has built lasting relationships with both candidates and clients who trust me to deliver exactly what I promise. One of my proudest achievements was securing a 100% pay rise for a mid-level Developer who was significantly underpaid at just £16k. Seeing talented professionals finally receive the recognition and compensation they deserve never gets old. It's moments like these that remind me why I love what I do. Long-term relationship success in recruitment isn't just about making placements – it's about creating lasting connections. My very first Developer placement back in 2007 is still thriving with the same company today, a testament to the quality of matches I strive to make. I don't just fill roles; I build careers and help companies find their perfect technical talent. Having worked exclusively across Yorkshire for nearly two decades, I have an intimate understanding of the local tech market. From innovative startups in Leeds to established enterprises in Sheffield, I know what each type of organisation is looking for and how to position candidates for success. When you work with me, you're not just getting a recruiter – you're getting a career partner who genuinely cares about your success in Yorkshire's thriving tech sector.
