Richard Bate, Partner - Private Client Liverpool
"Thank you for all your assistance with finding a paralegal for our private client department.
The two candidates you put forward were both impressive in terms of their experience and their outgoing personalities. Both were exactly what we were looking for. Indeed, as you know, we made offers to both. After sifting through lots of unsuitable candidates put forward by other agencies, to have two hand picked by yourself was a Godsend.
I wouldn't hesitate to give you a call next time we are on the look out for someone."
