I just wanted to drop you a line to say how impressed we've been with G2 Legal. Right from the first point of contact you've delivered a professional, courteous, reliable and friendly service including a personal visit from one of your directors. You've done what you said you would and on time. The position we were recruiting for is an unusual one - way off the mainstream for lawyers. However, you quickly got to grips with our requirements and went about the search in a methodical, sensible way that wasted none of our time. The candidates presented to us were all worth serious consideration. The person we appointed is absolutely ideal for the role and the entire process took less than three weeks. Overall, an outstanding service. Many thanks. Managing Editor Indicator Limited

I have worked with James Quick on a significant number of our vacancies. James always manages to “go the extra” mile in finding us not only those candidates that have the right experience and knowledge for the role, but also fit with our culture and ethos. This has resulted in fewer time consuming interviews to find the right candidate Debbie Dolan

Having worked with James from G2 Legal for some months now, I’m impressed by his ability to really listen to what we want and by asking all the right questions has a good understanding of the firm and the journey we are on.

If my firm has recruitment needs I do not hesitate to turn to Sharan, who I have always found to be very well informed and helpful. She is a delight to deal with and I would not hesitate to recommend her.” Senior Partner, Turner Parkinson

I found the overall service to be first rate and I found Sharan to be very down-to-earth, approachable and always willing to help. I would not hesitate in recommending others to G2 Legal.

I have worked with Victoria Watson at G2 Legal for a number of years now. I like the way that she takes a careful note of what our requirements actually are then works diligently to provide possible candidates who represent a good match - that, I believe, is one of the hallmarks of an effective recruitment consultant. Thanks to her efforts we have had a recent success in filling a long-standing vacancy.

James was brilliant at securing me a new job. He kept me regularly informed and prepped me well when it came to interviews. He even said I could call him on a Sunday before my interview on a Monday! Great service and lovely guy. He really does fight your corner!

Jeremy recently assisted me with finding a new role, as a shipping litigation associate, at a London law firm. I would thoroughly recommend Jeremy to anyone seeking a new position. He very quickly obtained me a number of interviews and kept me fully informed at all times in relation to the progress of my application. He responded to any queries which I had very promptly and dealt with a number of complex and sensitive issues which my application involved in a very patient and professional manner and was at all times very approachable and friendly. He was also very happy to take the time to ensure that I found not just a position, but a position which was really “right” for me, which, I think, is something that really distinguishes him from a lot of other recruitment consultants. I would have no hesitation in instructing Jeremy again and in thoroughly recommending his services to any other associate who is currently looking for a position

Emma Binnersley

Ryan Kerr was very helpful in placing me with a job that was exactly what I was looking for. I was impressed with his up to date knowledge of the market and speed in responding to any questions along the way. He was pro-active in keeping me up to date and assisting with approach for interviews. His people skills were second to none.

Lara Colgan

I was taken aback by how quickly and effectively James got to grips with my requirements and objectives. His interpretation of my strengths and what I wanted from a move was refreshingly different to all other agencies that contacted me, and this, combined with what is clearly a very good network of contacts with top firms, has resulted in an exceptional career move in what seems to be in record time. Hugely recommended.

Neil Pfister

James Quick worked tirelessly to find me good roles in a difficult market. James' proactivity ultimately led to me finding the perfect role. James is determined but friendly with a good knowledge of the Thames Valley legal market. I would recommend James to others and would use him again.

George Panteli

Dear Victoria, This is just say thank you for all of your help in placing me in my new role. I was really pleased with the level of support which you provided to me throughout the entire search and application process. In particular you were always readily available to discuss all aspects of my application. You were also able to offer me useful guidance in terms of preparing for interview and researching the role and the firm. It was also very reassuring to receive regular and detailed feedback via your communications at each stage of the process. I felt comfortable being able to fully discuss with you my career aspirations and job requirements. Your enthusiasm and positive approach was also very much appreciated. I wish you all the very best for the future and do very much hope that we will have the chance to meet for a catch up lunch once I have started in my new role. Thank you once again for your invaluable support. Kind regards Charlotte.

I found Sharan's approach to finding me a position both straight forward and effective. She communicated with me fantastically, and only contacted me with positions that were suitable. Her knowledge of the market was invaluable and she was always on hand to deal with any questions that I might have. I really felt that she went that extra mile to help secure my new position.

Nancy Hobbs

Sharan was instrumental in me securing my current role, particularly in her proactive and thorough approach to preparation for interview. Face to face meetings and personal knowledge of the interviewers were key to my confidence and performance. I have recommended Sharan to friends on several occasions and will continue to do so.

Geoffrey Shreeve

Dear Sharan I can honestly say that I was very impressed with the service provided by you in relation to my job search. As I was hoping to have a change in the area of law I practice many recruiters seemed to tell me this was an almost impossible task however, you did not take this attitude and put my CV forward to a vacancy which really suited the job I was seeking rather then putting me forward for vacancies suited wholly to my previous experience. I know that other agencies had the job I was offered on their books but did not put my CV forward as they decided I did not fully fit the job specification. I feel that you really did go the extra mile for me and your time and effort was greatly appreciated. It was a great result for us both as I landed the job I was so desperate for and without your help I do no not think that this would have been possible. I was also impressed at the level of contact you retained with me once I had been offered the position and it was lovely to hear from you once I had started to see how I was getting on. I would certainly recommend your services and would come back to you if I am ever seeking employment again in the future. Thanks again for your help.

Louise listened to my description of my ideal role, and having reviewed my CV only suggested positions that would suit me - the first one being the position I eventually went for and was offered the role. It has been, and still is might I add, a perfect match. She was so professional and understanding of my particular situation - I would recommend her to anyone looking to change roles!

Polly Eldridge,

I genuinely do not know what I would have done had it not been for Janine at G2 Legal. I approached G2 Legal she was not just professional and highly competent in terms of her advice and assistant on my ultimate placement at Fentons Solicitors, but she was wonderfully supportive from a personal perspective. I would certainly recommend Janine and have done since. Mark McGhee

You have been by far the best (of the many) recruitment agencies that have contacted me since I posted my CV online. Not only for this excellent result, but for your prompt responses to emails, regular updates via telephone, being so motivational on the phone, and for the excellent advice with regards to showing your client that I really wanted the job (I would have done this anyway, but your advice was spot on). One for your 'compliments' book :) Many thanks again. Kind regards Tim

Tim Steer

I was delighted with the role that Dan and colleagues at G2 Legal secured for me – excellent service throughout. The process was quick and without any hitches from my attending the interview one afternoon and to G2 Legal securing me an excellent package. Dan was also very pragmatic in ensuring I fully consider all my recruitment options before accepting the role which was very professional and not something that other agencies always do.

I would not hesitate to recommend James to other solicitors looking for a change of role. He is very knowledgeable about the work solicitors do and has extremely good relationships with the managers of a lot of firms. He was able to recommend me for the right firm and I went into the interview knowing what the firm was looking for and I am very pleased at how quickly I was able to find a great position thanks to his hard work.

Paul from G2 Legal recently helped me secure a new role. Throughout the process I found him friendly and professional. He was always easy to contact and kept me updated at every stage, even if there was nothing specific to report. He was very good at letting me know if he was waiting to hear back from someone, for example. He had obviously taken the time to consider my suitability for the role as it was exactly what I was looking for. He called before the interview to check I was ok and ask if I had any last minute questions which meant a lot. He was also very good at letting me know if he was going to be out of the office and giving me the name of an alternative contact in his absence. Even after I started the role Paul was in contact to check I had settled in, again a really nice touch. I would certainly recommend Paul and G2 to other job hunters!
