Private Client Partner

Mike Chapman

Mike is the best recruitment consultant I have ever used. He knows the industry, takes time to understand your position and career objectives, and helps to find suitable opportunities. He works hard and goes that extra mile.

Commercial Solicitor

I have used recruitment consultants before in the past and I have always felt I have had to keep explaining myself and it often left me feeling deflated and lacking in confidence. Jan just understood, immediately, where I was in both my life and my career and exactly where I wanted to be.

Conveyancer

Mike Chapman

Mike is fantastic at his job. He listens to what you’re saying and takes action when he says he will. Can’t recommend him highly enough. Thanks Mike for everything you’ve done for me over the years, it has been noted.

Lawyer- Construction

Mike Chapman

Fantastic throughout the whole process! Mike Chapman a pleasure to be in touch with and very supportive.

In- House Solicitor

Jan Colligan

Jan gave me a very good briefing about what the job was about and what was required. He kept me fully up to date with the interview and recruitment procedure, and the agent who covered while he was on leave was also very helpful. Happy to say, I got the job!

Legal Counsel

Jan Colligan

I found that Jan had really taken the time to understand what the business was looking for in a recruit, and therefore was able to listen to my requirements and make a really good match between role and person. Jan’s been an absolute pleasure to deal with, and I wouldn’t hesitate to use him again or recommend him to others.

Legal Counsel

Jan Colligan

I’ve found that Jan has been the most attentive of all the recruiters I’ve spoken to. He really took the time to understand the person that the business was looking for, and perfectly matched me with that role.

Real Estate Partner

Jan Colligan

Jan was polite, professional and wanted to genuinely help me find the right role.  Jan introduced me to Mike, who has been professional, proactive and most importantly ‘listened’ to what I wanted in the next step of my career.  It has been a pleasure dealing with the team.

Associate

Michael Chapman

Michael was very helpful, communicative and informative.
