Placement of a Process Improvement Consultant
At Adlestrop Consulting, we pride ourselves on building long-term relationships and offering tailored career advice. A recent example of this approach is our work supporting an experienced legal professional in making the successful transition into consultancy.
Having known the candidate for several years, Charles Magill reached out for a conversation to discuss the current market and understand where they were on their career jounrney. What started as a catch-up quickly turned into a deeper conversation around career planning, aspirations, and exploring a long-considered shift into the consultancy world.
Although the idea of consultancy had been on the candidate’s radar for some time, they had yet to make the switch. Charles worked closely with them to explore what this new direction could look like—mapping out key priorities, the type of work and environment that would suit their experience and identifying what success in consultancy would mean for them personally.
Through this consultative approach, Charles introduced the candidate to a growing regional law firm that aligned closely with their goals. The firm’s culture, growth ambitions, and need for experienced consultants made it an ideal fit. The opportunity resonated strongly with the candidate and matched their skill set and career aspirations.
Result
