James George Recruitment

Permanent recruitment

For the sales, credit, operations and leadership people you need to grow a lending book. We find them, check they fit, and you pay when they start.

How it works

  1. A proper brief. A call to understand the role, your team, how you lend and who's done well with you before. We'll be straight about the market and what the role will take.
  2. A targeted search. We approach people who already do this work at funders, lessors, brokers and captives, including the many who aren't actively looking, as well as those who come to us.
  3. A short list, not a pile of CVs. Each candidate comes with a note on their experience, why they fit, what they're looking for and their notice period.
  4. Interviews and feedback. We arrange interviews, pass on feedback both ways and keep everyone moving.
  5. Offer to first day. We help agree the offer, support the candidate through resigning and keep in touch through their notice and first weeks.

The roles we fill this way

Most permanent hires in asset finance and commercial lending, from sales support and payouts to BDMs, broker managers, underwriters, credit managers and heads of function. See our specialisms for the full range.

When another route might suit you better

Questions people ask

Do you charge anything up front?

No. On a permanent hire you pay when your new person starts. If we don't fill the role, there's nothing to pay.

How soon will we see candidates?

It depends on the role and the market. We'll give you an honest view on the first call, then keep you updated as the search goes, so you're never left wondering.

Will you send us lots of CVs?

No. You'll get a short list of people who meet the brief, each with a note on why they fit and what they're looking for.

Can you work on the role on its own, without other agencies?

Yes. If the role is hard to fill or confidential, exclusive or retained search usually gets a better result. Ask us about it on the first call.
