Listed below are a selection of testimonials we have received from satisfied candidates.

I thought moving from Australia to the UK was a task.  Then I was met with the joy of job hunting in London. 

I was overwhelmed by the number of recruiting agencies, job websites and more than anything else – the task of setting realistic expectations for myself, finding out what I was worth and what was out there.  I moved to London because I wanted to work for a big, fast-paced company in a challenging role.  I was keen also to move away from public sector marketing and business development into the private/legal sectors.  I found this incredibly difficult.  Then I met Neil Hagan at GR Law.  He was in a word – fantastic!  He was different to other recruiting agents because he listened to what I wanted and found it, rather than pigeon holing me.  He always had time for me and even gave me a pep talk when I was thinking of settling for a job that wasn’t the perfect fit.  Most of all, he found me a job that ticked all my boxes.  I would highly recommend GR Law and in particular Neil Hagan to anyone out there looking for work in the legal sector in London, but  especially to other internationals, for an easy transition into the UK workforce.  A special shout out to all Aussies too… If you are looking for work in the legal sector, Neil Hagan at GR Law is your man.

 I have known Rob for a number of years now. I first met Rob when he worked at Law Choice and he found a position for me at DLA back in 2001. In 2010 I started looking for work after having 4 years off to raise two children. I had joined various legal secretarial agencies in the City but rarely did I get an interview. I made a call to GR Law whilst I was in London at another agency and Rob answered the phone. Within a month or so of seeing him he'd found me the perfect job. I am so grateful to Rob for all his help because if it wasn't for him I'd probably still be looking. Thanks

Beverley is a highly competent and very professional recruitment agent. She has kept me informed at all times and is very professional when problems arise and a solution needs to be worked out.

V Herring - Placed Candidate

I would highly recommend Beverley to any legal secretary/PA wishing to find temporary/contract work. She has constantly kept me updated as to future bookings and shown a great interest in whether I am enjoying my current booking. She placed me within an in-house legal department and I have thoroughly enjoyed the assignment. In my experience she has a great ability to match the requirements of her candidates. She is very professional but is incredibly approachable at the same time.

N Kent – Placed Candidate

I work as a career temp and Beverley Acton is a recruiter for one of the agencies that I work for on a regular basis.  She has always done her utmost to find suitable assignments for me and to respond to my requests and particular needs, which is extremely important to me as I change jobs at least several times a month.  We are in contact on a regular basis (about once a week or more) and she is extremely approachable, explains clearly all details of an assignment and then follows up in a very professional manner (which is not always the case with other agencies).
 
I find Beverley to be a very capable recruiter and would have no hesitation in recommending others to seek her out and so benefit from her high level of competence.  I am very pleased to be on her team of temps and look forward to continuing a great working relationship.

S Jones – GR Law Temp

A big thank you to GR Law who have been absolutely fantastic in helping me with my transition to the UK.

I wanted to find work quickly when I arrived in London. Thanks to Neil Hagan from GR Law I have secured an excellent job before even touching down in the UK! While I was still in New Zealand, Neil in London organised telephone interviews for me, kept me updated throughout the whole recruitment process and ultimately secured me a job that perfectly utilises my skill set.

I cannot thank Neil enough for his help and support – he has taken a huge pressure out of moving to a new country. It really could not have worked out any better for me.

S Mussa - Placed Candidate

I've been impressed with my dealings with GR Law as they really seem to listen to what candidates are looking for. It can be quite a difficult balancing act when an agency represents both the client and the candidate but they seem to manage it. I have also found them to be friendly, courteous and professional.

T Pritchard - GR Law temp

I have been working as a temporary legal secretary for the last year for GR Law. I have always found their consultants to be exemplary. They are friendly without being overbearing, patient, helpful and resourceful. I have been in steady employment with them, and whenever I have had a problem with an assignment, they have also been there, ready to help sort things out and have always been supportive. The service I have received is constantly efficient, courteous and expeditious. I would not hesitate to recommend people to them, both as clients and candidates. I feel secure working for an agency that keeps my best interests foremost when they are securing employment for me and most of all, whom I feel I can trust.

G Steels - GR Law temp

I came to GR Law on the recommendation of a work friend who had the misfortune to be made redundant at the same time as me. Bearing in mind what a sensitive time it was, I found all the staff at GR Law to be helpful (and tactful!). Each job on offer was fully explained to me before I agreed to interviews, and - more importantly - I was only put forward for jobs that suited me. My thanks to all the staff at GR Law for making a molehill out of a mountain.

R Chubb - Placed Candidate

I recently returned to GR Law for a new job, due to my previous dealings with John Bruce and Peter Francis. Both of which are friendly and have a vast amount of experience in looking for a job that suited my individual needs. I have recommended many of my friends. I can honestly say that all of the staff at GR Law know what they are talking about when it comes to finding a job and give you encouragement to do well. Thanks to the hard work and excellent communication GR Law provided, I can now happily say I have been in a new role for 6 months and thoroughly enjoy it!

C Kemp - Placed Candidate

I found the team at GR Law really friendly, positive, and encouraging and always willing to help. They are in no way pushy and they have an excellent listening ear. I felt they look at the individual and genuinely really want what is best for them. When I was selected for an interview, they offered me lots of tips and general advice to help me get through it. They have found me an excellent job within an outstanding firm. All in all, it has been the best service I have received from a recruitment agency and I would happily recommend their services.

S Flanders - Placed Candidate

I would like to take this opportunity of thanking the team at GR Law for their fantastic work on my behalf. You're efforts, professionalism and swift attention at all times was very impressive and I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending you to anyone who was looking for a new career challenge.

B Trew - Placed Candidate

When it came to finding me the position I wanted, I found GR Law excellent. After discussing the position I was looking for, I was presented only with those which matched my very specific criteria. The process of getting my CV sent off and arranging an interview were handled quickly and efficiently and I was kept fully informed throughout. Thanks to GR Law, I have just started a job which is exactly what I was looking for and I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and proactive recruitment agency.

P Sylvane-Addo - Placed Candidate


I found GR Law to be very accommodating and was put at ease by the staff immediately.
I registered with GR Law and from the first moment everyone was extremely friendly and helpful to me. I had been contracting for a considerable amount of time at a large law firm but a permanent role was not being offered to me. The Consultants at GR Law were optimistic and pro-active in finding me a new permanent role and sure enough a role in a wonderful firm in the City was soon offered to me. I have no hesitation in recommending GR Law.

Secretary - Nabarro

My dealings with GR Law were second to none; from the moment I registered, GR Law were very prompt in keeping me updated with any current and new positions available that suited me. All the staff members that I dealt with were very friendly and informative at all times with regard to providing company info and setting up the interviews. I would definitely recommend GR Law to people that I know.

A Barrass - Placed Candidate


GR Law have a very warm and friendly attitude and they spent time with me advising on how the market has changed and the type of companies they recruit for. I was shown a wide variety of roles based on my past experience and what I was looking for and was never pushed in to applying for a job I didn't feel was right for me. Within a week I had three separate interviews and within two weeks I was offered my ideal job. There is always someone to speak to at GR Law, whether it's for general updates or interview advice, and I was impressed with how quickly feedback was communicated. Thank you for making job hunting seem so easy!

N Pugh – - Placed Candidate

I would just like to thank you for all your help in finding my job at Eversheds. I found the whole process very easy. When I first came to see you I was very impressed how the whole team came in to meet me. I found it a very refreshing approach and it meant that they when they were considering putting me forward to prospective employers for interviews, they had a real picture in their minds of what I was like, not just from a CV!

K Cakmak – - Placed Candidate

Having dealt with John Bruce in previous occasions, I was very glad to find him at GR Law when I decided to change jobs last year. John has a thorough understanding of the industry, really listened to what I wanted, prepared me really well for interviews and helped me find my perfect job! I also had the opportunity to deal with other team members and found everyone to be very helpful and dedicated. I would highly recommend GR Law, and John in particular, to anyone looking for professional and effective help in finding a new job.

M Belmonte – Placed candidate

GR Law said they would have no problem finding me a job and were true to their word - they found me a permanent position within a week! I found the staff at GR Law to be a friendly, helpful bunch. After GR Law found me a permanent position, a week or so later I was called to see how I was getting on and if I had any problems. Not many agencies do that!!

Z Robson – - Placed Candidate

Thank you so much for your assistance in finding me a position so quickly when I first arrived in London. You made a potentially very stressful situation for me quite painless with your efficiency and friendly manner. I love my new job and think you matched me up very well. I will have no hesitation in approaching GR Law again in the future.

S Nairn – - Placed Candidate

Thank you very much John for helping me get this fab job, and the previous one. It helps that you have an agent who recognises your need and what you are looking for and, more importantly, listens to you. When I was job hunting for this job, I phoned John told him what I was now after (because your needs change over a period of time) and I only ever went for one interview but it was the right one and I did get the job. When you are searching for a new job, you don't have time to keep going off to interviews - a good agent will only send you to ones which are suitable to you so you don't waste time.

I am happy to recommend John to any of my friends who may want a change in job - he listened to what I want and he has a proven track record - got my current and previous jobs for me!

D Li – - Placed Candidate

My experience with GR Law over the past 10 years has been positive, positive, positive! I have found them to be a reliable and user friendly agency. GR Law actually LISTEN! GR Law is my first choice for career change and I would always recommend them to colleagues/friends.

L Wiffen – - Placed Candidate

From the first phone call on Monday morning to the last phone call on Friday evening, GR Law has been there for me since October 2006. As a male temp (rare) who mainly has Litigation, Commercial and Employment -- but very little Property legal secretarial experience (rarer still) -- I thought that GR Law would have their work cut out in trying to place me: not so. They not only know which assignments are 'right' for me, but are always able to provide a range of options for me to choose from as well as sound practical advice. My latest assignment has just converted into a six-month contract with an international law firm.
