About - Carter James

Mission & values

We're on a mission…

...to fix what's broken in executive search. Along the way, we hold these values true.

Community-driven

Great searches start with great relationships, not with a brief.

Pragmatic

We skip steps when they add no value. We adapt to what you need.

Outcome-driven

We measure ourselves by who you hire, not by the process we ran.

Inquisitive

We ask hard questions early, so you don't face surprises later.

Within our first month of working with Carter James we already managed to make 2 extremely difficult hires who are still exceeding expectations until this day. I was impressed how well they understood what we were looking for and how quickly they got us to speak with them within a matter of days.
