As a CEO of a £130m turnover enterprise based in Northants, the appointment of a top flight Head of Legal was a crucial step. I have dealt with a number of recruitment companies in the past, with mixed results. Mark Levine of BCL provided easily the best quality service I have seen, really focused on our needs, on the candidates needs, and on getting the right person for the job. We are delighted with the outcome. If he covered other areas than law, he would be the only option for our next executive recruitment.

"Matthew Porter of BCL Legal fully understood our business strategy and requirements within the department and presented me with a shortlist of exceptional candidates suited to our needs. Matthew's approach was consultative, professional and efficient; BCL Legal will continue to be a key provider of recruitment services for Hammonds as we continue to expand".

“I have always found Tom Crampton and the staff at BCL Legal to be friendly, professional and non-pushy in approach. They have taken the time to understand the requirements of our vacancies and the culture of our firm and in doing so have supplied us with well matched candidates. As a result of this Gordons will continue to work with BCL Legal on our future recruitment needs and I am happy to recommend their service.”

"I've worked with the consultants at BCL Legal consistently over the last three years and have found them to be professional, responsive and keen to understand the key differentiators which we feel makes Addleshaw Goddard a great place to work. They have been instrumental in securing some critical appointments for us and I look forward to continuing our strong working relationship with them."

"We have dealt with James Hitti for some time now and he has placed a number of excellent candidates with us. He has always been very careful to ascertain our particular requirements and not pass candidates on to us where he feels they will not be suitable. This targeted approach has saved us considerable time and we have invariably found that we can rely on James’ judgement.”

"Mark Levine at BCL Legal’s knowledge of the in-house market in the North West is second to none. He is thoroughly professional to deal with and delivers what he commits to deliver on time. Mark kept me updated with details of potential candidates as soon as their CV’s were received and made sure he met with them promptly. He was honest, open and frank about each candidate and understood our needs perfectly, thereby minimising the time I had to spend interviewing. What was particularly impressive is that all Mark wanted to do was to find the right person for the job (which he did!).”

"I was really impressed with the way in which you handled our assignment... By screening all of the candidates before they were presented to me, you effectively carried out the first stage of the interviews... I felt like I was dealing with an in house HR department rather than an external consultant because you understood the company’s demands so well."

“It is a little while since I tapped into the legal recruitment market, but I felt comfortable with the process from our first meeting onwards. Your project management and regular informal updates kept me in control of the exercise throughout; the more formal candidate reports were concise and helpful and your advice on key aspects of the campaign and closing out the opportunity with my preferred candidate proved to be "spot-on". I believe we have an excellent new member of the team with the right skill set and personality fit and all achieved on schedule and to budget.”

“Tom Crampton at BCL Legal is helpful and professional. He always understands our recruitment needs well. We are very happy with the service that we receive from him and BCL Legal.”

“Mark was completely supportive. His professionalism and integrity were apparent throughout the process, and his understanding and empathy for what you have to go through during the recruitment process was very evident. My experience was so positive that I recommended BCL Legal to my former employer. They have also dealt with that assignment in a direct and proficient manner but at the same time took the time out to understand the needs of the business, such that no time was wasted in providing a group of entirely suitable candidates. My dealings with BCL Legal have been completely positive both as a client and a candidate.”

“Employing Lisa was a master stroke. The cost of employing a locum can be daunting for a small practice and KUA has had varied experience with solicitor locums but the service and peace of mind that Lisa provided was worth every penny. After four weeks the whole PI caseload had been reviewed and was ready for our new solicitor to take over.”
