Incredible communication, supportive and genuinely interested in my career and goals!

I can’t thank Ryan enough for the role he played in helping me start my legal career. As a recruiter at Douglas Scott, he was not only professional and knowledgeable but also genuinely supportive throughout the entire process. He took the time to understand my goals, kept me informed every step of the way, and matched me with a position that became my first job in law — the start of my dream career.

I couldn’t be more grateful and I’d highly recommend him and Douglas Scott.

I was very pleased with the level of support and guidance I was given by the recruiter. I really was very appreciative of the time and attention that was given during the whole process and I would have no hesitation recommending Douglas Scott Legal Recruitment particularly Huw Flanagan-Roberts who had kept me in mind for this role as soon as it became available and kept me fully informed throughout the process. Thank you so much Huw!

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Stacey Jolliffe

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Stacey Jolliffe for some time now, and having worked with several recruiters in the past, I can confidently say that Stacey is by far the best! From our very first conversation, I knew I was in safe hands.

It was incredibly refreshing to work with someone who genuinely took the time to understand what I was looking for in the next stage of my locum career. Stacey is passionate, professional, and always available when needed. She truly understands both the needs of businesses and the goals of candidates, and she works tirelessly to ensure that everyone is happy.

What really sets Stacey apart is her approach—she never applies pressure. Instead, she encourages and supports you every step of the way. It’s clear that this isn’t just a job to her; she genuinely cares about placing the right people in the right roles, and it shows in everything she does.

Stacey is fantastic at what she does, and I’m incredibly grateful for all her support. It’s an absolute pleasure working with her!

Brilliant experience

I had the pleasure of dealing with Abbie C in relation to a new role - Abbie was fantastic at listening to what I actually wanted from a new position and recommending employers that fit those requirements. With her help I was able to secure a new role a few weeks after getting in touch with her.
