Candidate Testimonials

Lawyers and in-house job candidates on Re Legal

"Having been a qualified solicitor now in Leeds for just short of three years, I have spoken to the majority of the main recruitment agents that cover the Yorkshire area.

Of all the agents that I have spoken to I would thoroughly recommend Terry Cape at Re Legal.

On my most recent move the service he provided was first class. He kept me fully in the picture as to appropriate jobs that were on the market, was successful in getting me interviews at firms I wanted to work for and I ended up in the enviable position of receiving job offers from two firms.

I would not hesitate to use Terry again and have in fact recommended him to other friends within the legal profession."

The staff seemed to really understand the particular pressures facing a trainee approaching qualification and did their level best to manage the process responsibly."

Family NQ from Stephensons to Pannone.

"Re Legal relied on their extensive network of contacts to open doors where other recruitment consultants had failed.

Not only was this down to their contacts but to their professionalism and willingness to follow their client's pace. I'm grateful to them for finding me a great role with a high street name and would thoroughly recommend registering with them."

Top tier candidate placed into leading financial services in-house team.

"I am extremely impressed with the service both you specifically and your colleagues at Re Legal have provided and your assistance in helping me find a newly qualified job during such difficult times. I appreciate the market has been particularly tough this year and that there have not been a great deal of NQ jobs out there. All of your hard work has therefore paid off. This has been a very important time for me and your professional yet friendly approach has made the process as smooth and enjoyable as possible.

You have always regularly contacted me to keep me updated whilst keeping my interests at the forefront of the job search and have assisted greatly with me obtaining my new role. I have also appreciated your guidance and helpful hints during the interview process."

Employment NQ from Stephensons to Gorvins.

"Terry Cape of Re Legal was recommended to me by a friend and I found him instantly responsive and personable. He was incredibly discreet and highly efficient throughout the process. I particularly appreciated his considered and intelligent approach to the exercise; rather than trying to shoehorn me in to the vacancies he was aware of in the market, or send my cv out indiscriminately, he took my comments and preferences seriously to tailor the approach to my specifications. The recruitment process can leave you feeling precarious - I found that Terry's attitude and professionalism made him the ideal person in whom to place my trust at that time."

Employment solicitor who moved between 2 leading law firms in Leeds, through Terry Cape.

"The service that I received from Re Legal was superb. In particular Terry Cape was attentive to my needs, kept in regular contact so that I was fully up to date on the progress being made in relation to my new job application and provided me with support throughout the application and interview process.

I readily admit that I was a high maintenance client and yet Terry dealt with my queries patiently, returned calls promptly and was extremely supportive prior to my interviews when my nerves had started to kick in. I would definitely recommend Re Legal and was extremely happy with the service, support and assistance that I received."

Senior Solicitor - Big 6 to National Firm

"I was really impressed with Re Legal and Terry in particular. He's a great guy who goes the extra mile and really works hard to find the right job for you, getting you interviews at firms who have yet to advertise for jobs. The level of service was excellent and knowing that I had Terry on my side, allowed me to concentrate on preparing for interviews rather than worrying about opportunities."

Top 50 firm to Big 6 Corporate

"I found Re Legal to be extremely efficient and prompt when helping me with my job search. They always made time to contact me and if I ever left a telephone message they would make sure they returned my call straightaway. Re Legal took the time to listen to what I wanted to do and made sure they found a vacancy that best suited me. After being out of work for 9 months, it is thanks to Re Legal that I am in my current role. I just want to say a big thank you, for all their hard work."
