James made the recruitment process a dream - clear, supportive, and transparent throughout, with open communication and valuable insights that kept me fully prepared at every stage. I never felt out of the loop and really appreciated his professionalism and energy. Highly recommend Refractory Recruitment!

Our first time working with James Farrey and it was great from the get-go. We had a short timeframe to backfill a full-time fixed term role, and he shared solid candidates within 2 days of briefing. We're delighted with our new hire. Thanks again James.

Thanks so much Tanya - great to partner up on this one!

I had a great experience working with James. He helped me secure a role I was really passionate about, even though I didn’t have a lot of prior experience in that area. Throughout the process, James was incredibly supportive — he guided me through each interview stage, provided thoughtful feedback, and took the time to listen to my own impressions of the company. His insights and encouragement made a huge difference in my confidence and preparation. I’d highly recommend James to anyone looking for a recruiter who genuinely cares about your goals and growth.

Appreciate the kind words Nick - great to work with you as well!
