30SIX Founder
I’m James Martin, husband, proud father and founder of 30SIX.
I’ve spent the last 13 years working with brands and marketing agencies across projects that include everything from research to global roll-out. I know for clients I work with finding someone that understands your challenges is the hardest thing when commencing any search for talent. Which is why I’ve noticed a gap in the market to offer a new level of service which matches consultancy with talent acquisition, whether a company is looking to build their team from the ground up or making replacements or improvements, 30SIX has the technique and process defined.

















I’ve had a lot of ‘WTF’ moments when hearing how some companies approach recruitment.
From pushy agents who want a quick sale, to some ‘not so perfect’ hires. In today’s saturated market, it is a shame that many clients find us after bad experiences with recruiters, but then it just shows how we are different and not swimming in the same lane as less experienced others.
30SIX is a company based on giving a first class service.
I know my existing and future clients want a better solution to their hiring and I understand it’s always difficult with so many options on the table of who to go with.
If you have had a bad experience in the past, or feeling unclear on the best method for you, my main skill is being able to listen, I don’t propose the right solution until I know what I am trying to offer a solution to.
We also are so confident our process works, and we only want to work with clients who want to work with us, that we offer a 12month guarantee on every candidate we place.
I’ve worked with 1000’s of candidates and made over 100 placements since 2020
I’ve learnt a lot along the way and I know to have the perfect model, we need to own our lane. I know we need to be aware of what is happening in the market and be willing to evolve to ensure our service remains a front-runner for our clients. I personally invest a lot of time and effort in training and re-training to make sure we offer a service that matches expectations.

I help to grow teams, by listening first to what you need, it’s a skill I’ve learnt from sitting with many leaders.

Pablo is just here to keep us all sane (and test that sanity at times). He’s absoltuely nuts, full of energy and the best friend to have in the office.
We would bring him to meetings, if he would be able to sit still! But for now we keep him at the office
E: let’s not be too un-realistic 🙂
