They develop close and ongoing relationships with fee earners at all levels from Newly Qualified to Equity Partners, enabling a swift and comprehensive response to client enquiries when expansion plans are contemplated or replacement of outgoing staff is necessary.

Search activity allows G2 Legal to present lawyers with your opportunities in complete confidence.

If you are starting up a new division and need to appoint a Senior Lawyer or Partner then Retained Search is probably the most discrete and most productive way to appoint at senior level.

G2 Legal undertakes Search and Selection by charging a nominal upfront fee equivalent to 5% of the estimated starting salary. We will then undertake the search exercise and first line interview candidates on your behalf for their suitability. A short list of recommended candidates will then be presented to you together with a summary from G2 Legal. At this stage we would arrange formal interviews either at any of our regional offices or at the clients' offices. Upon completion of the opportunity, we would then invoice you with the balance of fees due.

We can extend and improve this facility by combining Search and Selection with advertising. We manage the entire process, presenting the client with a comprehensive shortlist of superior candidates.

• Concentrate on fee earning rather than sifting CV's from an array of contingency based recruitment firms.

• Better market-awareness on general recruitment matters.

In the past, when clients have wanted to recruit individuals, the options available to them have been to advertise directly in a magazine or enlist the help of recruitment companies. Both options are potentially expensive and time-consuming.

If you advertise directly you pay upfront for the advertisement and are offered no guarantee that any prospective applicants will appear. Indeed, your advertisement merely draws the attention of recruitment companies offering you their candidates.

If you enlist the help of recruitment companies, you only pay upon successful placement but are competing with numerous other firms all considering the same applicants.

In the end, you can be left nursing an expensive advertisement bill and high recruitment agency fees on top.
