"Their services are unique"

Amy and Katie are both fantastic people and I am so glad I found them during my search for a NQ position. Their services are unique and unlike any other recruitment agency I have worked with; together [they] create an exceptionally high standard of service. They took time out to get to know me and created a tailored service to ensure I secured a new job which was the right fit for me. I was kept informed at all stages and provided with a wealth of assistance with interview preparation. I would highly recommend Amy and Katie to any lawyer looking for a new job.

"Whole heartedly recommend them"

The Haggerty Jaques team is exceptional, and I would whole heartedly recommend them to anyone in the profession. Both Katie and Amy are dedicated to finding the perfect job for you as an individual and never looking to fill a role just for the sake of it. The collective experience that both ladies have in the legal market means that you will receive a totally personalised, devoted and supportive service where you feel nothing but confidence in them and the whole process. There is no one else I would trust when considering a role; they’re an absolute dream to work with.

Amy and Katie helped me secure my current role when I re-located from Manchester to Leeds and I can honestly say it is the best recruitment experience I have ever had!

I would highly recommend Haggerty Jaques!

I met Katie and Amy while they were recruiting for two in-house legal positions at a telecommunications company, one of which I eventually secured.

I would highly recommend them to any solicitor searching for a new role.

I would highly recommend Haggerty Jaques, they were on-hand at all times throughout the recruitment process to give sound advice but also reassuring support.

Thank you for all your help.

"Luckily, I managed to find Haggerty Jaques"

After spending several years with the same company, I found myself looking to make a big change, but didn't feel that I knew the local job market well. Luckily, I managed to find Haggerty Jaques and get the professional guidance that I needed! I really appreciated that Katie and Amy took the time to get to know me well so that they could provide a top-notch personalised service.

Data Protection Solicitor

"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. They have become my first port of call whenever I need to discuss recruitment matters and I fully trust their advice and desire to achieve the best outcome possible for their candidates.

"FIVE STARS"

Five stars for my experience with Haggerty Jacques! I can't recommend Katie and Amy enough; they were wonderfully friendly, helpful, and enthusiastic throughout the entire process. They went above and beyond to make sure I was ready and knew what to anticipate at each stage of the recruitment cycle. Without their dedication, commitment, and tenacity, I wouldn't be working in my dream position which they helped me to secure. Excellent from start to finish and genuine people who are sincere in their efforts, even after you begin your role. Strongly recommend!

"REALLY REFRESHING HUMAN APPROACH"

I approached Haggerty Jaques after deciding to tentatively explore whether other opportunities in the legal market were available to me. My practice area is relatively niche and I was keen to ensure my next move suited me from both a professional and cultural perspective.

Both Amy and Katie were fantastic to work with. Not only did they place a real emphasis on understanding what I was looking for, they acted as invaluable sounding boards throughout. I never felt any pressure to take any particular role and throughout the process I felt genuinely supported.

Amy and Katie bring a really refreshing and human approach to recruitment. I’d have absolutely no hesitation in recommending them to anyone looking for their next role in the legal sector.

"REALLY UNDERSTOOD WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR"

Changing jobs can be a difficult decision but having Amy and Katie on side really simplified the recruitment process. I found them to be incredibly knowledgeable of the market, but crucially, they really understood what I was looking for and only suggested opportunities that fitted my requirements. Nothing was too much trouble for them. A great, hardworking team which understandably produces results! Thanks again Team HJ!

"PERSONALISED & BESPOKE TO ME"

Being a junior lawyer, I have had many dealings with different recruiters in my journey of establishing my legal career. I came to a point soon after qualifying that I wanted to change practice areas and came across Haggerty Jaques. From the get go I was blown away with how Amy and Katie work. Everything in the process was personalised and bespoke to me. I did not feel like just a candidate, but rather a valued individual with a set of skills, experience and aspirations that Amy and Katie worked with in order to introduce me to the perfect role. A few months following on from that first meeting where we went through my CV and identified roles that I was interested in, I am now in that perfect role and could not be happier. Thank you for everything!

"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.

Katie & Amy were so kind, friendly, helpful and genuinely cared about ensuring I was being placed in the right role for me.

"GENUINELY CARING"

I have been approached by recruiters before, but Amy and Katie really stood out with their knowledge and support. They were not only professional but also genuinely caring, guiding me through every step of the process. They took the time to understand what I wanted and tailored their approach to fit my needs, helping me present my best self. Their encouragement and advice significantly boosted my confidence, making me feel fully prepared. Working with them felt like teaming up with friends. I am incredibly thankful for their help in landing my dream job, and I cannot recommend Amy and Katie enough!

"VALUED AND CONFIDENT"

As a recent graduate, I was finding the graduate recruitment online application processes impersonal and demoralising. However, Haggerty Jaques completely turned everything around for me. 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!
