"exemplary"

Katie and Amy come highly recommended by many people, and it is clear to see why. Although I have not secured a position through HJ during my career (no fault of theirs), I have found the service and attention provided to candidates to be exemplary. They have taken time out of their busy schedules, knowing I wasn't looking to apply to any of their positions, to discuss the legal market, wider opportunities, salary insights and how to prepare for an interview In House on one occasion. They also do not pester you with relentless mailers or calls like some recruiters do but are always available for a Teams Call when needed.

From the moment I submitted my CV, Amy and Katie provided invaluable support, offering guidance, pre-interview preparation and even checking in with me as I transitioned into my new legal role. Their personalised approach made me feel valued and confident throughout the entire process. I'm incredibly grateful for their support and couldn't recommend them more highly!

"IMMEDIATELY IMPRESSED"

Haggerty Jaques was recommended to me when I mentioned to a group of friends that I was looking for a new role in London. I reached out to Katie and Amy and was immediately impressed by how approachable and polite they were.

I was quickly put forward for an interesting in-house role with Addleshaw Goddard. Whilst going through the interview process, I felt supported, reassured and very well prepared thanks to Katie and Amy. Thankfully, I secured the role, as it was literally perfect for me and exactly what I was looking for; it was also confirmation of their deep expertise in legal recruitment.

I would highly recommend Haggerty Jaques and can wholeheartedly say that the team is professional, friendly, knowledgeable, and very helpful.

"CLEAR AND TIMELY"

I had an outstanding experience working with Amy and Katie at Haggerty Jaques during my recent career move. From our initial conversations through to securing my new role, they demonstrated a genuine belief in me and a clear understanding of how to align me with my ideal opportunity. I couldn’t have asked for better stewardship throughout the transition.

What really stood out was their professionalism, transparency, and warmth — they acted with integrity on my behalf as well as for the company they were representing. All communication was clear and timely, and they offered valuable insight at every stage. I felt truly supported from start to finish. The support hasn’t ended since I started in my new role — both Amy and Katie have continued to take a genuine interest in how I’m progressing, which speaks volumes about their commitment.

I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Haggerty Jaques to any professional seeking a role within a high-performing organisation, or to employers looking for a recruiter who truly understands both the brief and the kind of individual their business needs. I can’t thank Amy and Katie enough!
