The full process went smoothly. Even with many rounds and multiple interviewers each round.working with Cameron was a pleasure. He would always follow up after each step in the process.

Joseph has been extremely professional, approachable, and supportive throughout the hiring process. He ensured timely communication at every stage, clarified all queries promptly, and provided the right guidance to help me prepare and feel confident.
His proactive coordination between me and the hiring team made the process seamless and stress-free. I truly appreciate his dedication and effort in making the experience smooth.

Oli has always been very informative about the interview processes, helped me polish my resume, and provided useful commentary on the companies and people I interviewed with.

I had a very positive experience with Barnie at Radley James. Barnie was always professional, attentive, and very knowledgeable. He maintained proactive and effective communication between all parties involved, and guided the entire process seamlessly. I always felt my concerns and questions were prioritized and addressed quickly. Could not have had a more positive experience.

Olivier recently helped me switch jobs. He was very helpful throughout the hiring process, right from setting up intro calls to accepting the offer. He's very transparent about the entire process, and made sure to followup and address all my questions/concerns. A great experience overall!

A fantastic experience from start to finish. Ben presented a highly relevant, off-market opportunity that perfectly matched my skills. They managed the process seamlessly, providing great prep and feedback along the way. If you're serious about HFT or quant trading, this is who you should work with.

No doubt we all had numerous conversations with recruiters that end forever with a "keep in touch" text. Many people asked me how I got my awesome new job with relocation to Prague and I always start the story with saying that Ollie from Radley James was the recruiter that *actually* kept in touch. He is professional and stays greatly involved throughout the entire recruitment process, and even checks in occasionally. I was able to go to him with any question or concern I had about this huge opportunity that changed both my professional and my personal life. I have recommended him to other people, and will do it again.

I have now been placed in two different positions at two different firms by Oli & Radley James in the last 5 years. In addition to the two accepted offers, I've also worked with Oli on several other roles. In all cases, Oli was fantastic to work with. He was always professional, friendly, and empathetic. He would brief me before all my interviews and help get me in a position to succeed and come in prepared. I know I'm not the only person who's had similar positive experiences about working with Oli -- my boss in my last role also enjoyed working with Oli and spoke highly of him. If you're working with Oli, you're in good hands!

Haven't even heard back from them.
I applied to one of the roles they advertised; CTO roles really are, but this was one of those. I applied, then followed up on email. I get it, you get a lot of applications. But, unless you started recruiting yesterday (that you certainly hadn't) you have a way to filter applicants and the least you can do is to respond, even with just a few words.
You know, it helps us feel human.
I get it, it's not ideal to write about experiences that are not great. But without feedback, things will not improve either. Sadly cannot put a real name for legal reasons from where I live. Sorry.

Radley James, and especially Barnie Moul, have been instrumental in helping me secure two perfect job opportunities. Barnie provided exceptional support throughout the process—helping me prepare for interviews, proactively chasing feedback, and negotiating the best possible terms. I also want to mention Ben for his great assistance.
I highly recommend Radley James, Barnie, and Ben to anyone looking for roles in the software engineering space. Their professionalism, dedication, and expertise truly stand out!

My experience with Radley James spans five years and has been consistently excellent. As a client, Barnie Moul quickly grasped our specific hiring requirements and consistently delivered high-caliber candidates. His practical, efficient method saved us valuable time and connected us with talent that has made a real difference to our team. Having first been a candidate myself, I benefited from his clear communication and steady support throughout the process. Barnie stands out through his deep industry knowledge and results-focused approach.
I confidently refer colleagues to Radley James knowing they'll build the same trusted relationship I've valued for my talent needs.

Really great in providing insights about the company you apply for. Always available for questions and prompt responses. Volkan helped me find several positions that fit my interests and guided me through all the interview steps.

I had a great experience working with Radley James as a contractor for the last 6 months! The whole process was smooth from the first call with the client to getting the contract signed. A big thanks to Dagnė and Chloe!
My salary was consistently paid on time, which is crucial for contractors and gives great peace of mind.
I can't really complain, so if you're looking for a professional recruitment agency that treats contractors with respect, I'd highly recommend Radley James based on my positive experience.

Great experience! Ben Farr was always working toward my best interests and always professional. Thanks Ben!

A friend introduced me to Cameron at Radley James and, as someone who highly values personal recommendations like this, I was not disappointed in my interactions with him and the enthusiasm he displayed.
Cameron put me at ease throughout the entire process of looking for a new role and was always putting my needs and requirements at the centre of the work we did together.
I am happy to say that Cameron fully understood the niche market I work within and the requirements for the senior role I applied for. At every stage of the process, he helped me prepare and present myself in the best light.
Happily, I received an offer for the role I applied for, and Cameron made sure to help me understand and compare the package being offered with my then-current role, to make sure I could make the most informed choice possible for the next phase of my career.
I genuinely feel that I have gained a friend and team-mate in Cameron during this process, and have recommended him to others since. I can therefore say without hesitation that I look forward to working with him in the future.

Oli Is great and very pleasant to work with. he's attentive and promptly follows up at all stages of the interview process, which is substantially more than I could say for most headhunters! I would highly recommend working with RJ, and specifically Oli Rawlings

Hamed was incredibly professional, he walked me through all the process and helped me to understand the role, the Company and to find out if this was an opportunity for me. I would always be grateful to have had his support.

Ben Farr is easily one of the best recruiters I have ever worked with. Thorough, prompt and knowledgeable. Would highly recommend him.

Barnie worked with me closely and he was an incredible source of support through the interview experience, always helping me prepare and practice. Additionally, he was very amicable and extremely helpful throughout the process, helping me apply to a myriad of trading firms. Barnie is an incredible headhunter who makes his clients feel supported, prepared, and cared for. He’s an exceptional add to Radley James!
