Isabel Mcquade was really helpful throughout the whole of the application process. She was really on top of things, responded quickly and explained each step clearly. Also gave some great advice.

Rory was amazing with great attention to detail
Rory was amazing with great attention to detail. I had a long list of requirements but nothing was too much. I was really looked after and spoke with Rory regularly about suitable roles. I highly recommend Rory to anyone looking for a new role. He is always upbeat and motivated to do his best for you.

A lot of recruiters try to force you to take interviews even though the firm might not be the right culture or fit for you. Austen Lloyd don't do that. I truly feel that Austen Lloyd listen to your requirements and match you with a firm to suit your ambitions and personality. They have an extensive knowledge of the legal sector and have found the right role and firm for me on the last two occasions. I honestly wouldn't use any other recruiter. Thank you so much Charlotte and team!

Elouise kept me updated throughout the process as well as notifying me about other opportunities that may be of interest and help me before interviews. I would recommend Austen Lloyd to anyone looking for a career move generally.
