Our Clients

What Our Clients Say

James and the team came via a recommendation at a time when we were in the midst of a very busy period, hiring at pace across multiple countries throughout EMEA. We went through a process of engaging a number of partners, some big brand household names amongst them. The talent that we required needed to have niche skills and a mindset that would enable our business to succeed in a market that was totally candidate driven. We needed a true partnership and extension of our TA function, who could not only identify talent but engage at speed and understand and sell our value proposition at the highest levels with integrity and passion across multiple countries and cultures, we got that from Altura Partners! I and my peers had the upmost confidence in the team to engage with external talent and internal stakeholders and represent IBM. We quickly integrated and built a trust bound transparent relationship based on solid delivery with added value and insights that were shared every step of the way. Should the need arise I would engage again, Thanks for your support!

EMEA Senior Talent Acquisition Leader
IBM

I have worked with James multiple assignments and I have always found him to have a natural (and uncanny) gift for understanding the real needs of the hiring company which is often different to the written brief. He is then able to easily articulate this and describe the balance of experience, skills and personality that he believes will create a platform for sustainable success. I have nothing but the highest regard for his professional abilities and I regard him as a natural growth partner for any organization looking to enhance their skill set.
