Jim Merryfield
Lead Consultant
Jim has worked in engineering and technology recruitment for over a decade driving common courtesy, transparency and diligence around excellence.
Known for remaining personally accountable to a “non-tunnelled” vision approach, caring about the wider impact of decisions made, which is what makes Jim stand out. He genuinely cares about providing the best possible service and maintaining ethical standards, whilst enjoying the interactions of working with brilliant people and exciting businesses in the environmental, clean technology and engineering space.
With experience as an internal talent acquisition manager for high-tech data companies, system manufacturers and having grown and developed external teams, Jim understands the nuances around internal processes, dealing with agencies, hiring challenges, and building highly functional teams.
Jim is Bristol-born and Cheddar made with years travelling & living abroad. After many slow-travel trips (including cycling the Outer Hebrides, Ireland’s Wild Atlantic Way and 6 months from Cheddar to Athens), Jim is back home playing rugby for his local team Winscombe RFC, working on the restoration of the family home and finding as much time as possible for two-wheeled travel.
