James Forsyth

Specialised in:

Providing Permanent and Temporary recruitment solutions in the following fields: Engineering/Manufacturing/Technical & Supply Chain predominantly to Food/Drink manufacturers, Packaging, Pharmaceuticals, Life Sciences and 3PL.

Experience & background:

A dedicated and seasoned Recruiter/Manager with over 18 years of experience. I thrive in the aforementioned markets connecting the best talent in the market to both established and potential/future businesses.

Through my 18 years in recruitment I have followed candidates careers and worked with them both as potential suitors for jobs and in many cases been fortunate enough to recruit for them when they are managing/directing teams of their own, as they say in recruitment ‘’full circle’’. The best way for me to be bought in to processes is to see factories or warehouses in full flow, as a recruiter that gives me all the knowledge I need to brief candidates in the best possible way.

You might be surprised to learn:

I am a passionate Liverpool supporter as well as holding a season ticket for the Huddersfield Giants who play Rugby league. A keen gym member that still thinks he can play 5 a side on a weekly basis!
