TESTIMONIALS

We were looking for a senior fee earner to join the firm as succession for two long-standing partners who were heading towards retirement. Both had well established repeat clients for whom they had acted for many years and we decided therefore that a targeted approach for the suitable replacement solicitor was the way forward. James was very patient with us in our explanation of who we are, what we were looking for and the background of the position that was to be filled and did an excellent job of contacting the candidate that we had decided to approach. We previously had no experience of headhunting anyone senior in this way and James made what could have been a very awkward direct approach from us into a very professional, normal business-like approach. Having him involved throughout the process provided us with a buffer and sounding board between the two parties in the further discussion and in the end he managed to broker an agreement between us and the other party which was fantastic. I would highly recommend James as his ability and professionalism throughout were second to none.

We contacted James as we were struggling to find a conveyancer to join our practice. We had spoken with a variety or recruitment services and after 9 months without success we looked at alternatives. We found James reassuring in that he had a very down to earth approach and offered us a risk free service – if he did not find us a suitable candidate that we were happy with there would be no fee. Our new solicitor has been with us for three months and has settled in well. She was a more experienced candidate than we had initially set out to find but this has proved invaluable with the recent upsurge in conveyancing work. James made the process straightforward and offered advice and help along the way. He was not at all pushy and merely gave us the information that we needed to make appropriate decisions. He acted as a go between at the outset and helped to put arrangements in place once our decision was made. If we are in need a fee-earner in the future we would go straight to James without hesitation.

I would like to thank you for your help in recruiting an immigration lawyer to head our new department. One of the problems in running an expanding business is finding the time for new projects. Your involvement saved us significant time and effort given that we did not have to advertise and do the initial screening of candidates. You’re listened to us and therefore only candidates that fitted our criteria were presented and I was grateful for your insight on the appropriate package to offer in order to recruit and motivate the right candidate.

I am happy to confirm that I found working with you to be a very good experience, you were efficient in researching and producing a list of possible candidates for the position and in making initial contact with the agreed preferred individuals to ascertain interest. This was a more effective strategy than just advertising the post. You then were helpful in arranging the initial meeting and following up with the candidate and producing feedback. You were also very helpful in making us aware of the candidates’ views and requests so that we were able to negotiate and come to an agreement which was satisfactory to both sides. I would be very happy to work with you again for recruitment.

Just to confirm that I have been very happy with the service we have received from Peter and yourself. The list was well prepared and you were able to reach people who were not actively applying and generate enough interest in the role and the firm for individuals to be prepare to come to an initial meeting. We were able then to progress that meeting further and we have been able to recruit someone successfully. This would not have been achieved by purely advertising the role. I will look forward to continuing to work with you on future roles.

Throughout the process you and Headhunters acted in a professional manner in dealing with ourselves, and the candidate. Your honesty, integrity and patience ensured that we did not end up with a "square peg in a round hole". Important to the candidate as they have remained with us and have now become an important part of the Firm. We would use your services again.

James' client care skills are exceptional; I felt supported and engaged in my relationship with James and his communication was first rate. I can highly recommend both his services and his professionalism.

Rob is an outstanding recruiter who found me a reputable company to work, in less than 2weeks! He is efficient and provided me with an incredible service and the resources I needed to gain insight into the area concerned. For a genuine, reliable and considerate service I will look no further than Rob Walsh of Head Hunters. Thank you very much Rob Walsh.

Would highly recommend Rob, Got me a new position which was perfect for what I was looking for. Very helpful and friendly Thanks again Rob.
