Senior Managing Delivery Consultant
I’ve joined Oliver James because of the positive growth culture. Everyone is willing to support each other at all levels to strengthen the individuals in the business. It’s a fun, engaged environment where everyone’s input is heard, and we work together to service our customers and clients at the highest level.

Will White

Senior Vice President
Over the last 10 years I have worked in many different recruitment environments. All of them say the same things regarding training, support, culture, etc. The only company that has ever delivered on every promise has been Oliver James. I have been in OJ 2 years now and have been able to learn, adapt, and grow my technical and managerial skillsets more than ever before. I can reach out to VP’s, SVP’s, President’s and Founders at any time and will always be provided with incredible guidance and insight.
