Testimonials

Don't take our word for it! Read what some of our candidates and recruiters have said about our service:

• "David Holden has been very helpful as a recruitment agent and has guided me and helped me to find a suitable post. His knowledge of different legal firms is detailed and his approach is thorough. Friendly yet professional. I recommend him to individuals and firms."
• "David Holden is very personable and communicative - two qualities which are important when engaging with an agent to consider career opportunities. He keeps you updated with developments - even when there isn't much to report - and gets good results."
• "I have worked with David Holden since early 2010 and found him to be someone who understands client needs and the legal market and offers a proactive and engaging approach. Consequently, I am happy to recommend him."
• "David Holden is succinct in approach and rapidly establishes excellent rapport. He maintains business relations which is appealing in any marketplace."
• "After I registered with Search, I met with Lara we had a chat about my traineeship and where I wanted to be in a year's time. I was clear on the area of law in which I wanted to practice and Lara took that onboard and treated me like an individual. I trusted her to come to me with relevant positions which took a lot of the pressure off me during the final months of my traineeship. Lara arranged for me to travel down to Jersey for an interview with one of the top offshore firms and thankfully I was offered the position. I have now relocated to Jersey and I am working for a world class firm in a wonderful environment. Lara called me up the night before I left Scotland to wish me luck and we have been in touch regularly ever since I have been down here. I would not hesitate to recommend her services - while being extremely professional she also really cares about her clients and she works hard to make things work for you. I can't thank her, and Search, enough for everything they have done for me."
• "Having Alison work on my recruitment was extremely helpful given her similar background to mine in private practice. She had empathy for my situation. I felt that the process, although very quick, was made easier by Alison's approachability. She guided me through the process with ease from the initial submission and tweaking of my CV and pre interview chat to the submission of paperwork to allow me to start working the day after my interview. The speed of action did not phase Alison and I have to say that I am loving my new role and am so grateful to Alison for her continued support."
• "Search Consultancy Ltd, and in particular Alison Smith, have been very supportive in our recent recruitment of a Commercial Property Solicitor. At the same time, Alison provided an excellent Litigation Solicitor on an an agency basis to meet a short term requirement. A very good service."
• "Lara assisted me with my move to my current firm. Lara took the time to understand me and the position I was looking for, which allowed her to source the most suitable position for me. Lara was a pleasure to deal with and I would have no hesitation in recommending her to individual candidates in the future."
• "I found Search's legal team, in particular Lara, to be a great help in securing a newly qualified position outside of the firm I trained with. As an NQ, moving firm was quite daunting however from the start of the process until even six months into the role I felt that they ensured that the role I applied for was right for me. With their help, the transition from my old firm to my new firm was made much easier. I would happily recommend Search to anybody looking for new opportunities within the Scottish legal market. "
