James Nathan, recruitment trainer, mentor and coach

Move and change with the market

The ability to move and change with the market, motivate yourself and others and perform at your peak is the achievable mark we all wish to maintain, while growing our businesses and, most importantly, profit.

Mentoring is a process of development, learning and achievement. It helps you increase the pace in your business, dramatically improve your profit and results, and feel more confident and certain about the future.

We work around a series of regular, scheduled sessions. We agree your objectives together, then I support and guide you towards achieving them. It can also be run as an operational non-executive role in your business.

Who it’s for

  • Recruitment business owners and leaders
  • Founders launching or scaling an agency
  • Directors and senior managers
  • Leaders who want a trusted sounding board

What clients say

“Whilst I had carried out a lot of preparation before starting Identify Finance Recruitment, there were still a lot of problems I was coming up against that I didn’t have the answers for. James impressed me with his calm and measured approach, and having experienced many of the issues I was facing many times before, quickly gave me the solutions.”
