What Are Clients Saying?

"We appreciate the flexibility that Lucas James offers. We are able to staff up during peak season without having to commit to full time resources. Lucas James has an experienced team that can integrate quickly into a staffing model."

"We have seen results in all of the standard recruiting KPI’s, time to fill, hiring source etc., but more importantly we have seen quality in the people joining. We are in high growth mode, so it is easy to slip into fast hiring tactics to fill seats, but in partnership with Lucas James and our hiring managers, we have continued to keep the quality of the interviews, quality of the assessments, and quality in the conversations determining who will be the best new team member."
