Moreover James has a tenacious attitude to understanding our recruitment needs which inevitably means he can present our opportunities to candidates in an informed and positive way.

"I have received fantastic support from BCL Legal over the last 9 months in assisting me in the recruitment of a number of fee earning and supervisory staff in a rapidly growing department. They respond quickly to my requirements whilst taking the time and effort to fully understand those requirements. This led to the recruitment process being much more speedy and efficient than it would otherwise have been. As a result I have been able to recruit high calibre personnel to drive the department forward".

"At Keoghs I was the Head of Employment. I dealt with a full range of employment law issues for both employers and employees and across a wide spectrum of sectors. We were a small team but we managed to develop a reputation and recognition by the Legal 500 and Chambers because of our commercial outlook and commitment to give clients an excellent service at commercially competitive rates. Weightmans is an ideal fit for our clients because the clients expect the service of top quality lawyers but do not expect to pay eye-watering fees. Weightmans also has the right cultural fit for me. The people at Weightmans are friendly and approachable. I was also impressed by Mark Leach who leads the Manchester employment team and the other members of the firm that I met during the recruitment process. I got great assistance also from speaking to former colleagues that I have worked with in the past who are now at Weightmans and from the recruitment firm BCL Legal who helped give a good overview of the legal marketplace in Manchester and surrounding areas to ensure that we got the fit right for our clients".

"I found the service from BCL Legal to be excellent. I was dealt with in a friendly and efficient way, the candidate was of a very high standard, despite my initial concern that it would not be possible to find a suitable candidate, and systems were straightforward and easy to operate. I was impressed at how quickly our request was turned around, information provided, and communication arranged between the candidate and ourselves. Our only problem was the cost as a third sector organisation, but we accept that quality services have to be paid for. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend BCL Legal to anyone needing professional staff at short notice".

"We retained BCL Legal to recruit a private client lawyer of partnership calibre and an assistant, due to ongoing growth of our department during maternity leave of our existing partner, and associate. They showed an excellent understanding of the brief, sourced some excellent candidates for us, and communicated well resulting in two highly satisfactory appointments".

de Poel Consulting Ltd used the services of BCL Legal, to recruit an in house Legal Director during 2008. Ruth Taylor and Mark Levine worked on our assignment and provided an excellent level of service throughout the whole process. They gained a full understanding of the recruitment brief, our Company culture and the calibre of candidates we required, whilst making recommendations and sharing their in depth knowledge of the legal recruitment sector with us. The candidate details put forward were of a high calibre and matched our brief, Ruth and Mark clearly had a detailed knowledge of their candidates which was reflected in the overview provided for each candidate which proved very helpful. They ensured that the candidates and our Company were a good fit for each other. BCL Legal delivered on our brief in a professional manner and I would have no hesitation in recommending their services.

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.

"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!).”

“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.”

“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.”
