    Dealing with James from the Recruitshop was a great experiance James went above and over what someone would expect to fill the role of a spare parts interpreter, James kept in touch with updates and progress, his dedication to fill the role was excellent. The canidate he found for us is preforming well and would have been impossible without the Recruitshop as i have tried many other Reruitment agencys for the same position. I would recommend James and the Reruitshop at the highest level he was professional, organised and provided excellent customer service thanks James
