“I have worked with Kim on three different projects both as a recruiter and when looking for my next move. As a recruiter Kim moved fast and came up with brilliant candidates who I recruited both times. She is always available when you need her. When looking for my next role she had the maturity and experience to get the brief immediately and the strategic vision to find me the perfect role.”

We retained round8 to help us secure key commercial hires for our European business. From the outset their consultative and knowledgeable approach gave us great confidence in the process. We valued their input, insight and broad range of market experience. We were also extremely pleased that we received positive feedback from candidates in the process.

Ali has been great in finding talent for us at Rakuten. From our days in a small start up office Ali always understood our brief and the type of people we were looking for.

Always available (even on weekends!) Ali has given us great customer service and most importantly gives the candidates the same level of attention.

“Jim is an excellent operator – at once personable and professional. He has an intimate knowledge of the media marketplace and a network of contacts and relationships that is as deep as it is wide. He has always been a very useful sounding board for me and has provided useful career advice over the years – never afraid of being frank and honest and always displaying a good understanding of my situation. I would happily recommend Jim and round8 to anyone looking either to hire in media or for career guidance.”

“I have known Jim since he set up round8 back in 2000 and have been both placed by him as well as using him to recruit into my various teams. Jim is incredibly intuitive. He has placed me in my last two roles both of which he knew and understood very clearly what I wanted in a position and understanding exactly the culture and ‘fit’ I was looking for. And just as importantly, what I wasn’t looking for. He is incredibly knowledgeable, an expert at what he does and as such has a fantastic network of clients and candidates. He’s also just a lovely person to work with.”

Exceptionally dedicated is the phrase that comes to mind when I think about Alex. I have had the pleasure of working with Alex for three years whilst at Amobee, collaborating on several large recruitment projects. I was particularly impressed by her deep understanding of us as a client, and her ability to then interpret briefs and match these to ideal candidate talent – a skill that comes naturally to her. Alex is extremely professional and radiates positivity, and is an absolute pleasure to work with. As a HR professional to lead a project, or as an employee, Alex earns my highest recommendation.

“Jim has a deep knowledge of the industry; not just the people side, but the technology itself. He makes it his business to have a true understanding of his clients’ value proposition, culture and goals, and it is this that sets him apart in a very crowded space. Jim has been a trusted adviser to me, both on my own career and helping me build the culture I would like in my team. He operates with absolute integrity and professionalism and it’s this that makes him my first port of call for advice on building the right team. If you are looking to recruit people in the media and tech space, I would highly recommend speaking to Jim, and he’s a thoroughly likeable person to boot.”
