Why James Andrews?
The recruitment sector is dominated by companies which offer individual commission, which in turn create hard-nosed, selfish sales environments. James Andrews is different. We have created a commission structure which celebrates individual and team success in every placement, thus creating an enjoyable, supportive environment. Perfect for individuals who are target orientated and team players.
We have a down-to-earth culture which focuses on team working. We are open and honest with everyone we deal with, and being a stuffy, corporate business is not what we're about. Our "work hard", play hard" ethos is guided by our staff who love spending time together outside work. Our relaxed dress code allows our employees to express themselves as individuals whilst still maintaining that professionalism and respect that our client’s value so much.
Office location
Since 2009, we have outgrown three offices in Leicester – a sure sign of our success. Our current office is fully refurbished and purpose built and is based right in the heart of the thriving Clarendon Park/Queen’s Road area, with plenty of free parking and public transport links. The building has a beautiful façade and actually used to be an old bank which we have now transformed into a bespoke modern office which includes a “chill out” area with TV and PlayStation - a great place to take a break from the busy office environment, or have a Friday afternoon beer with your team.

- Resilience
