SEEKING TALENT

PRIVATE PRACTICE

The importance of finding and retaining the right people cannot be underestimated. With the benefit of internal recruitment experience, we appreciate that this means having sufficient resources to service existing client matters, win new work, improve and maintain staff morale and have adequate succession planning in place.

Our collaborative approach means that we are able to spend more time speaking to the right candidates on your behalf.

IN-HOUSE

Recruiting lawyers into industry is often extremely time-critical. Whether you are fortunate enough to have a team of lawyers on-site already or are looking to recruit your first in-house Counsel, any reduction in legal support has a very tangible effect on day-to-day operations and the legal risks that can ensue.

The need to secure the right skill-set is all the more important when so much of your business’ operations depend on solid industry-focused legal advice and support from lawyers who are properly ingrained in the business and appreciate the commercial implications.

COMPaNY SECRETARIAL

Whether you are looking for a company secretarial assistant or a group company secretary, part or fully ICSA qualified, we understand that attracting the right talent to your team can be challenging. It is paramount that you instruct an experienced recruitment consultancy that can demonstrate a thorough understanding of the specific secretariat requirements relevant to your organisation’s size and sector.

With many years’ experience and a network of contacts spanning across the UK and internationally, we can offer you informed market insight and advice regarding your vacancy and help you in finding the right person for your team.

Client Feedback

"Exceptional insight and support"

Shared Access has worked with Haggerty Jaques for over two years now, during which period they have provided us with exceptional insight and support. Amy and Katie quickly got to grips with our business, how we work and what we were looking for so they were able to add significant value to the recruitment process at every stage. Amy and Katie demonstrated a huge depth of knowledge of the legal recruitment market which gave us great confidence and their care and attention throughout was of the highest level.

"Open and transparent"

I have used Haggerty Jaques for a number of years now and have found them to be outstanding in their field. They take the time to get to know your requirements and field good quality, high calibre candidates who fit the brief. They are completely open and transparent in their approach and a real pleasure to work with.

"take pride in everything they do"

I’ve worked with Katie and Amy for several years now and they are an absolute pleasure! They take the time to understand our business, but also our needs and requirements that we’re looking for. We don’t recruit all the time, but they’ll still stay in touch to see how things are going or whether anything has changed. It’s clear that they care immensely and take pride in everything they do.

James Edwards, Group General Counsel, Zenith

"REALLY IMPRESSED"

We instructed Haggerty Jaques to assist us with a significant recruitment project and were really impressed by how smoothly the process went and how quickly they found us two great new hires. It wasn’t a standard brief but Katie and Amy understood exactly what we were looking for and only sent us the CVs of candidate who fitted the bill. It meant that we didn’t need to sift the applications ourselves and instead interviewed all of the candidates we were sent. It was clear from the interviews we conducted that the candidates properly understood the role and were therefore well prepared and committed to the process. This vastly reduced the time that we as a business spent on recruitment and has ultimately resulted in a fantastic outcome for us and for our new recruits.

"EXCELLENT SERVICE AND A PLEASURE TO DEAL WITH"

Haggerty Jaques recently placed a legal director into my team. They provided an excellent service and were a pleasure to deal with.

"BRILLIANT TEAM"

I have been working with Haggerty Jaques for some time now – firstly as a client (they had recruited lawyers for my team) and more recently as a candidate.

When I came to start considering a move as a partner, Amy and Katie knew exactly which opportunities would suit me. They suggested the perfect move to advance my career, which was an opportunity I may not have identified without them. I'm very grateful for their expertise and genuine commitment to achieving the very best outcome for me.

Amy and Katie make a brilliant team. They are knowledgeable, highly skilled and clearly love their work, which makes them truly exceptional at what they do.
