Our Company James Andrews Recruitment Solutions is a specialist recruitment consultancy that is rapidly expanding across the UK. Having initially opened in 2009, we now have offices based in Leicester, Birmingham and London, with plans to open a Manchester office in the next two years. We are proud to work with some of the biggest brands and blue chip companies on the market today. James Andrews are an accredited Investors in People (Silver) company and placed in The Recruiter Magazine’s “Fast 50” list of the 50 fastest-growing privately-owned recruitment firms in the UK (of which there are approximately 28,000!) Why James Andrews? The recruitment sector is dominated by companies which offer individual commission, which in turn create hard-nosed, selfish sales environments. James Andrews is different. We have created a commission structure which celebrates individual and team success in every placement, thus creating an enjoyable, supportive environment. Perfect for individuals who are target orientated and team players. We have a down-to-earth culture which focuses on team working. We are open and honest with everyone we deal with, and being a stuffy, corporate business is not what we’re about. Our “work hard”, play hard” ethos is guided by our staff who love spending time together outside work. Our relaxed dress code allows our employees to express themselves as individuals whilst still maintaining that professionalism and respect that our client’s value so much. Office Location Our Birmingham office opened in 2010 and is perfectly located overlooking St Paul’s Square in the Jewellery Quarter just a short walk from New Street and Snow Hill train stations. We have recently completed a state of the art office transformation, featuring a brand new ‘chill out zone’ with a meditation room, TV, gaming system and lunch facilities – a great place to take a break from the busy office environment or have a Friday afternoon beer with your team before a night out in the city. We are close to many of Birmingham’s top rated independent bars and restaurants and are located above The Rectory Bar which we often frequent for a drink after work.
