Charles managed to find me a great opportunity in a market that has been contracting over the last 18 months. He invests time in getting to know his Clients to ensure that he matches them to the right opportunity.

"Adlestrop understood my needs and aspirations perfectly. It was apparent that those needs and aspirations were communicated to the firm identified as being suitable to the extent that a frank and open exchange of views took place in interview. A deal was struck in a very short space of time and there is no doubt that Adlestrop's proactive efforts enabled me to make a move that was so obviously right. Thank you."

“At all times throughout my job search you kept me informed which I really appreciated. For me looking for new employment was a daunting prospect having only ever worked for one firm since leaving law school. The regular contact was therefore very important to me. You were well versed in the area of law I was looking to practice in and did not try to talk me into another area simply because there would have been more vacancies (which another recruitment firm attempted to do)!”

"In particular, your advice on interview techniques and the notes you forwarded to me were an invaluable tool with regard to my interviews and certainly assisted me in being offered a position. I was particularly impressed with the way you were able to see beyond the pure change of employment aspects of this matter and appreciate the personal side of the situation."

"I have recently returned to private practice after a number of years away. As a tax specialist, I am not in the legal mainstream, but Tim very quickly grasped what I was interested in doing and drew up a list of firms which he thought could offer me the opportunities I was looking for. It was clear that Tim had excellent access to the key decision makers in those firms and the vast majority were interested in talking to me. A shortlist of three resulted from those discussions. Tim's input was extremely valuable in deciding where to go and I joined one of the firms as a tax partner in June 2007. Tim's contribution to my return to private practice was invaluable and I would have no hesitation in recommending Adlestrop Consulting."

I would definitely recommend Adlestrop Consulting to anybody seeking employment.”

- 5yrs PQE Associate, Property Finance

"The level of service I received from Adlestrop Consulting exceeded my expectations. They found a large number of suitable vacancies in a short space of time and set up interviews quickly, although I would expect this from any competent recruitment agent. What I did not expect, and was pleasantly surprised with, was the comprehensive information they sent on each firm, the role and the people interviewing me. This made me feel fully prepared for my interviews, which I'm sure helped the way I came across. Most importantly, I am very happy with my new position."

“Throughout the arrangement of the interviews Adlestrop Consulting were helpful and always available for a call beforehand in order to establish what I could expect and what would be expected of me and afterwards for a review of what had happened. In particular, your advice on interview techniques and the notes you forwarded to me were an invaluable tool with regard to my interviews and certainly assisted me in being offered a position. I was particularly impressed with the way you were able to see beyond the pure change of employment aspects of this matter and appreciate the personal side of the situation.”

“I have had experience of a couple of recruitment agencies as you know. Out of all of them you were the only one that I felt really listened to what I was looking for. Having listened to my needs you only suggested suitable positions within an appropriate travelling distance. Listening is really important and I felt that you did that. You also encouraged to look at opportunities which at first glance I probably wouldn't have considered.”
