Our Testimonials
Zoe Lewis at JGA has been brilliant at helping us to recruit payroll practitioners for a very niche role. She took the time to get to know us and really find out exactly what we were looking for in terms of experience and knowledge. But she went far beyond that by only putting forward candidates which she felt also had an approach and values which matched our own, and who would be the right fit for our business. As a result, with Zoe’s help, we’ve recruited several candidates who have been a perfect fit, and I can’t thank Zoe and JGA Recruitment enough!
Natalie has been a fantastic person to work with in securing me my new role. I have worked with recruiters for years, both on the customer end, and from a B2B point of view, and whilst many lack in their ability to communicate and manage their customer relationships effectively, Natalie absolutely smashes both of these areas. That aside, she is professional and personable at the same time; ever-positive and uplifting, she is fantastic to work with and I will push anyone looking for a new role her way.
It’s been a pleasure to work with JGA Recruitment Ltd to get a new role. Freddy has been great with communication and I now have a new job to look forward to starting soon! Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend as a reliable, friendly and approachable recruitment agency. They seem to work towards finding the right person for the right job as well as managing client expectations. Will be staying in touch should I need any assistance in finding roles in the future.
Freddy Moorhouse found my new role and he made the entire process seamless. Highly recommend! Well done Freddy for being a true professional throughout.
Natalie is an absolute credit to JGA – working with her was a seamless and yet personal experience and nothing was ever too much for her. I would highly recommend JGA for a very straight forward attitude to recruitment as I didn’t feel like my time was being wasted and I got a dream job – which was down to Natalie more so than my searching. Thank you!
I recently got my DREAM JOB with JGA Recruitment! I worked with Alexandra and she is just the best recruiter I’ve worked with. She was so lovely, helpful and prepped me for both stages of the interview process and made me feel so confident whilst interviewing (for the first time ever – I’m usually a nervous wreck!) She’s so friendly and approachable and always had time for me and answered all my questions. She really cared about me and whether I got the job, and was just as happy for me when I got it as all my friends and family were! Thank you so much Alexandra!!! 🙂
I have had other recruitment agencies reach out to me before, but none have been as good as Alex has been to me nor have they shown the level of care JGA have shown!
Alex helped me find a new role with better prospects for future career development, she talked me through the process, helped me negotiate the salary, checked in along the way and has been happy to help throughout every stage. She’s felt more like a friend helping me out rather than a recruiter, which has been lovely
I am very happy to have worked with Matthew to secure my new position. He was honest, polite and proactive from receiving my application up until he called me with an offer. He called me before and after each interview and showed real interest and concern in my progress with the application. He was very positive and easy to talk, he even said I could call him at the weekend should I have any issues before starting my job. I definitely recommend him and the JGA team.
Thank you!!
Freddy was excellent in communicating about the role, preparing me for the expectations of his client, and following up afterwards. I would have no hesitation in recommending him and his firm for future appointments.
Many thanks to Natalie Lloyd who represented me through my recruitment process. A very bubbley, enthusiastic consultant who was always very professional but provided enormous support, leading to my successful recruitment.
Thanks to Paul Dargavel from JGA, I have recently secured myself a very favorable position with a blue-chip company. I cannot fault the service that received and despite busy schedule Paul made the process effortless. I was also very impressed with the work that Paul did updating my CV that I thought was already good enough. Top class service, thank you!
I’ve had the pleasure of using James Gray Associates in assisting me with finding my next role in payroll management. I worked with Paul Dargavel, whose expertise landed me an excellent role as a Payroll Relationship Manager for a luxury health and fitness leisure club. This is a perfect role for me as it allows me to build relationships with our UK stakeholders as well as those across 13 European clubs. Paul was attentive and on point when it comes to gathering details and responding to my queries. On his interview instructions, not only did he place details about the role and interview guidelines, he also placed details on the interviewers to include their pictures and LinkedIn profile. By the time I got to the interview, I was well acquainted with the company and the interviewers and they were well impressed. I’ve been here for 3 months and still loving it. Thank you Paul, for your tenacity and level of detail.
I am very pleased and happy in how Paul Dargavel has helped me in finding my new job. He is very professional and knows the trade very well, given his years of experience as a recruiter he definitely is the est person to approach for new roles.
I was approached by Ros about a job vacancy and was soon contacted by Nick who saw the whole process through with professionalism and ease. The whole process was first class and I have a job that I love so a big thank you to JGA Recruitment for all their help!
Big, big thank you to Sam. Sam reached out to me about a job that he thought suited my skills based on my LinkedIn profile. The company’s interview process was rigorous but Sam was there every step of the way. He provided insight where needed, links to useful information and most of all encouragement throughout the whole process. Sam made time for me to demo my case study to him and go through interview techniques. I now have my dream job, absolutely loving it and have Sam to thank!
I really thank JGA Recruitment Ltd for giving me great job offers. I really appreciate your work and help. I liked your service a lot. I like to say special thanks to Liam Allen. Thank you JGA Team once again for getting me a Job.:)
Brilliant experience of working with Freddy at JGA. He was very supportive through the recruitment process and I was lucky enough to land an amazing opportunity. Seamless and professional service!
Natalie Lloyd has provided a first class approach from the start of finding me via LinkedIn and matching my experience and knowledge to the perfect new position to assistance with/completion of contract signing and well wishes on the first day of employment. Natalie ensured timely follow up and had at any time my best interest in mind. If you are looking for a new opportunity, Natalie Lloyd is the recruiter you want to have in your corner.
I had the pleasure of working with Freddy at JGA Recruitment. He helped me secure the permanent role I have always wanted with a brilliant company. He was professional, friendly and very helpful. He has kept in touch with positive feedback after securing this role. I would recommend this agency to anyone.
Natalie responded to an open request of mine on LinkedIn for support with an FTC project Manager. Natalie was not only quick off the mark, but friendly, professional and knowledgeable. I instantly knew I was speaking with someone who understood what I was looking for and what I needed, she asks brilliant questions to support you in your recruitment process. I was confident from our very first conversation that Natalie would deliver, and deliver she did. Within a matter of days I was interviewing the perfect candidate… Natalie understands the HR space and HR systems. She also has an appreciation for the need to see one or two great candidates, rather than the scatter gun approach hoping one will stick. I can’t recommend her enough if you are looking to place an excellent HR professional in your team.
I’ve recently had the pleasure of working with Freddy at JGA Recruitment who has assisted with finding me a new job. I’ve found the whole process very easy and Freddy has been so helpful, friendly and professional throughout the process. He has gone above and beyond to help me with the next step in my career and has been sympathetic to my circumstances. I couldn’t recommend JGA Recruitment enough. Thank you so much for all your help.
I have been recently offered a new job with the help of Freddy at JGA Recruitment. Freddy’s been amazing going out and beyond to resolve all my queries and even negotiated the pay I wanted with my employer. I cannot thank and recommend Freddy and JGA Recruitment enough for their outstanding service.
I highly recommend JGA recruitment, from start to finish Alex has been amazing with top level communication as well as friendliness and of course finding me a job which is suitable for me and guiding me through the process.
I was assisted in my job search by Alexandra Walker and I honestly couldn’t have asked for anyone better! So friendly, positive and supportive. She made the whole process easy and enjoyable. Thank you JGA!
I couldn’t recommend JGA enough.
Having worked for a professional services firm I received plenty of calls, e-mails and LinkedIn messages from recruiters who were trying to encourage me to move to an equivalent firm in an equivalent role. I regularly felt that they were just trying to move me to earn commission, rather than listening to the reasons why I wanted to move or the type of role I was looking for.
I would like to send my gratitude to Matthew for his support in finding the perfect job. Thanks to him I found a job in Payroll even though I had no experience (just finished a Sage 50 course 2 weeks back). Even after I got the job he called me to ask how am I doing and sent me a Congratulation Basket at my work place (It was very thoughtful and nice of him). If I intend to change jobs in the future, I will definitely call JBA Recruitment. Thank you for all your help!
Paul at JGA helped me so much with finding a suitable role for me and was in great communication with me through the entire process. Highly recommended agency!
Fantastic company. My recruiter was called Liam, who was very friendly and got me my new job. Couldn’t recommend more.
Had the pleaure of working with Freddy Moorhouse for a role. He helped me immensely, was very encouraging and posistive. A great professional with a great future. Highly recommended
Amazing service , specially thanks to Bogdan who helped me a lot in finding jobs , making me aware of the situation at work etc.lovely experienced with JGA. Kudos to all. Thank you.
I have never worked with a more professional, friendly and dedicated recruiter. JGA helped me gain an amazing job, and offered support and feedback promptly throughout the process. I would highly recommend!

Absolutely amazing! Zoe really listened to what I was looking for and matched me to my dream job. Lots of advice was offered throughout the process with fabulous hints and helpful tips. Thank you so much! Zoe is a superstar!
I highly recommend Natalie and the exceptional team at JGA for their exceptional sourcing abilities. Upon connecting with Natalie, I secured an interview with an incredible Head of People within days for an HRIS implementation role I had been searching for for a long time. Natalie’s expertise and prompt actions set her apart from other HR recruiters!

Recently got offered a new job with the help of Liam Allen at JGA Recruitment. Liam supported and very helpful throughout the entire process. Much thanks to him and will highly recommend JGA services
My experience with JGA Recruit has been very positive. Steve Yardley worked closely with me throughout the recruitment process. He was always actively giving me information about any available roles and helped me prepare for interviews by highlighting relevant knowledge/information I might have needed to know. He always asked me my thoughts and opinions on different positions to try and understand what I was looking for and to find the positions which best suited my work style and preferences.
Steve was instrumental in my finding my current position and I am very thankful to him and to JGA Recruitment. I would definitely recommend JGA to anyone looking for an accounting role.
Nick and I worked together on my recent appointment. He has been an absolute pleasure to work with. He impressed me greatly with his professionalism, passion for HR/recruitment, and high efficiency. Besides his headhunting and recruitment business he’s also running and hosting two successful podcast (Payroll & HR) channels. I would certainly recommend his service to any organisations and senior/ executives. I’m confident his/JGA service will not disappoint you.
Support from the service has been amazing, regularly updating me with how things are progressing. Even after gaining employment, kept in touch to see how I’ve been settling in.
I was after a certain job role and I was struggling to find it, until my knight in shining armour FREDDY MOORHOUSE came across my CV and directed me to the perfect job which I will receive a healthy salary and couldn’t resist so I signed on the dotted line! Great communication skills, kept me up to date on everything step by step! I have already recommended him to a few of my friends and family members. Once again a big thank you to FREDDY MOORHOUSE.
I am very happy with the services Rachael O’Brien provided. She connected me with my new employer and made sure everything is going well even after employment. She really goes the extra mile to make sure everytihng is as it should be!
Freddy really was great in the process of finding me a new job, he was supportive from start to finish & managed to find me a role that fits perfectly. Couldn’t recommend highly enough!
JGA Recruitment Ltd have been a fantastic company to work with. Nick’s professionalism, attention to detail and advice was second to none. Nick provided us with a very high calibar of candidates and we are delighted with our chosen GM. We will definitely be working with JGA Recruitment again and I would highly recommend their services! Thank you!
When I was contacted by Steve from JGA I didn’t have a job so when I was offered a 12 month contract I thought why not, I can still apply for jobs but I didn’t even try. Steve and Ros ensured I was looked after well and paid on time. This was all done in a friendly but professional manner. When the 12 months were over I was quite sorry to leave to go to my permanent job. No regrets whatsoever! Thanks to you both.
Freddy was very helpful and made me feel at ease while I was in a stressful situation. I was matched with a good company and got the job. Thank you so much.
Great agency – professional, friendly and super prompt payers! Matthew did a great job finding me, lining up my contract and always being available if I needed to speak with him. A big thank you and hope to work with you again soon.
JGA, especially Paul just helped me get a really good new role… process was very quick and professional… I will need to recruit some more people later in the year and will certainly use JGA and hopefully Paul to do so!
Thanks to Freddy as well who also did a very good job in keeping in touch with me while Henry was on leave.
Natalie is an amazing Recruitment Consultant! Incredibly friendly, helpful and professional, Natalie takes the time to really understand her clients to ensure the candidates that she introduces are a great match – both in terms of experience and knowledge needed for the role, and company values and culture. I wholeheartedly recommend Natalie and JGA Recruitment for anyone looking to work in the HR, Payroll or Marketing sectors – or those looking to recruit!
Natalie has been a brilliant asset to our business, supporting us with our recruitment needs and always going the extra mile.
JGA Recruitment are very approachable and professional. I can’t speak highly enough about Zoe Lewis, a star!
Absolutely recommend JGA Recruitment Ltd, Steve Yardley’s support with placing me on my dream job was second to none. I was fully supported throughout the whole process and couldn’t be happier with the end result, thank you so much. Highly recommend indeed.
I was looking for a Payroll/HR role and Alexandra Walker approached me after finding my CV online. Alex is fairly new to her role which surprised me as she is one of the best recruitment contacts that I have ever liaised with (and i’ve liaised with many companies who just want to put you into any old role). Alex was very professional and took onboard exactly what I was looking for, her hard work and dedication made it a great experience throughout. I’m now in a perfect role which covers everything that I was looking for and more – thank you Alex!
I highly recommend JGA Recruitment! Freddy Moorhouse found me the perfect role with a fantastic company. He was extremely supportive and kept me updated throughout the entire recruitment process.
Thank you so much for all of your help Freddy!
Tom made my job search a painless experience. He always ensured I was as well prepared as possible for my interviews with detailed background information on the company, the role and the people I’d be meeting. I would certainly recommend Tom and JGA to anyone looking for a job.
Many thanks for all your help.
James Gray are one of the best recruitment agencies I have ever worked with. I’ve had the experience of working two consultants there, Steve Yardley and Paul Dargarvel. Both consultants were able to understand my capabilities and only send me roles which suited my development. You always feel like they are really looking out for your best interest instead of looking at you with pound signs in their eyes.
I wish I could recommend James Gray and these consultants more.
Matthew Pyne was amazing throughout the recruitment process, very informative and supportive. The service was superb in helping me find an amazing role.
Steve was very professional and truthful about the job that was advertised. I felt helped and supported all the way thought the interview process and even after the job offer was made, he made sure to check in on me.
I worked with Nick Day and Steve Yardley at JGA and felt that firstly they understood what it was I did at my previous employer and secondly what it was I was looking for in terms of next steps. I also understand that they went the extra mile with my new employer to set up an interview as I wasn’t a natural fit for the role, which is greatly appreciated.
A great experience with Matthew Pyne of JGA. Efficiently handled the application process and took everything through to an ultimate job offer.
Matthew kept in touch with updates regularly and was very effective when it came to sorting out some issues with the timing of some personal commitments made before the application process started.
I’ve had the pleasure of working with JGA with the last 15 years and have no issue recommending them. JGA go the extra mile in relation to the customer service and passion for the industry and their professionalism and accumen ensure that prospective applicants are thoroughly reviewed to ensure only those who fit the bill attend. Their communication during the process is excellent and their attention to detail thorough
JGA offered an incredibly smooth process, with coaching on the interview process offered at each stage. Would highly recommend to both payroll candidates and employers.
