Isabel Mcquade was really helpful throughout the whole of the application process. She was really on top of things, responded quickly and explained each step clearly. Also gave some great advice.
I was fortunate to have Freya assist me in obtaining new employment. If it wasn’t for Freya then I wouldn’t have even known about the job opportunity, nor would I have applied for it. Freya was absolu... See more

First Class Service
I have used Austen Lloyd as both a recruiter and a candidate over the last 15 years. The most recent of which being where I have been recruited for a part time role within a law firm. Rhiannon Wilcox was fantastic from the start of the process through to conclusion and me being offered the role.

I had the pleasure of speaking and being assisted by Rory and he was absolutely amazing. He did not pressure me to accept the interview just for the sake of it. He was also very friendly, helpful, and professional.

Vaida was brilliant
Vaida was brilliant for me, at a difficult time. She was positive and encouraging, proactive on my behalf and responsive both in terms of her availability and in terms of taking on board my criteria for my next role. She has a good understanding of the legal market and I felt reassured having her in my corner. I would definitely use both Vaida and Austen Lloyd again.

Great service
I recently used Austen Lloyd in my search for a newly qualified solicitor role. I found Josie Robinson to be very efficient and she kept me regularly updated throughout the process. She managed to secure me several interviews in a short space of time and I was pleased with the roles she put forward to me. Overall I had a very good experience with Austen Lloyd and I would recommend Josie to anyone looking for a role in the legal sector.

Efficient! Effective!…. Ask for Rory Hancock
I instructed Rory to find me a new role as I was looking for a new challenge. Rory was in touch immediately and took the time to note exactly what I was searching for, and identify what my goals and targets were.
Within less than two days of our conversation, Rory secured me an interview with one of the biggest firms in the country, for which I successfully interviewed and will be starting very soon.
Definitely recommend!

Ask for Rory Hancock
In my former life as a recruitment consultant, I knew many recruiters who were cowboys, and courtesy in this sector was sadly rare. However, I'm happy to report that Austen Lloyd is one of the good ones. In particular, I dealt with Rory Hancock, whom I found to be a first-rate recruiter and a thoroughly decent chap. If you're looking for a recruiter who has your best interests at heart, I can't recommend Rory enough.

Rory Hancock - Highly recommended
Rory Hancock assisted me in securing a new role in the North-West. From the outset Rory was great to work with.
He listened to my requirements, actively identified possible opportunities and at all times provided a high level of client care. Rory was always available to deal with my queries and nothing was too much trouble for him. He kept me regularly updated and was always a pleasure to deal with maintaining a positive attitude at all times.
I would highly recommend Rory as a recruiter. He secured me a great position at an International Firm, and I cannot thank him enough.
