I approached Paula at Realm Recruit purely on a speculative basis to see whether there were any opportunities available. Little did I know that I was immediately in safe hands. Paula addressed my employment needs with the utmost of understanding and professionalism and in record time she had placed me with a firm I could not be happier with. Thank you Paula, 5* doesn’t seem enough.

She took the time to learn about us, what we wanted and most importantly who would fit with our current team culture and ethos. The dedication she puts into her search is reflected by the high-quality candidates she puts forward. She makes the process from start to finish seamless. Paula is certainly my go-to recruiter and I would highly recommend her to candidates and recruiters alike.

I can't thank Kelly enough for all her help and support in getting me my new role. I was at somewhat of a crossroads and looking to make a bit of a non-conventional move by swapping specialisms which is difficult enough on its own never mind during a global pandemic. Kelly really took the time to find out what I wanted from my next role and helped find firms which matched that. She knows the private client industry exceptionally well and truly is excellent at her job. she was prompt with her feedback and so helpful during the entire process from CV to interview and negotiation of terms. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending her to any firms or solicitors looking for their next employee or next role. Thanks again Kelly!

Patricia Santos Guerra
Claims Handler
Kelly was absolutely fantastic! When I approached Kelly I was at a juncture in my career. I was coming off maternity leave and the role I wanted simply didn't exist. Kelly worked with me and helped me gain a better understanding of what I truly wanted in a role. Her most impressive feat, though? That role I didn't think existed... Kelly found it and in a firm which was the perfect fit. And she did all this within a month! I'm so grateful to Kelly and cannot recommend her highly enough. Without her knowledge and insight into the market, I wouldn't have the role I'm in now - and she was a pleasure to deal with the whole way through. Thank you, Kelly!
