Amy Turner - you are an asset to Douglas Scott
I had the privilege of having Amy Turner as my recruiter, she was beyond brilliant, so friendly and helpful, with her support and guidance I received interviews in a short amount of time and I also got the jobs I interviewed for. She was professional, kind and genuinely cared to find me something that fit my preferences.
Amy, I cannot thank you enough for all you have done for me.

Last week I started my job search by connecting with Francesca Turner. I immediately received an amazing reaction to my CV and within a week I was signing my new employment contract. She was there for me every step of the journey.

Having used a number of different recruitment services recently, I can confidently say, Douglas Scott is up there!
Ryan McNamara provided an excellent service from the start! It was evident that Ryan had firm knowledge of the legal market, and crucially, great connections, particularly in/around the city of Manchester, which is where I was seeking to relocate to.
Ryan kept me updated throughout the process, and within a short period following submission of my CV, matched me with an opportunity which aligned perfectly with my skills, experience, & overall ambitions! An interview was facilitated promptly, and I was formally offered the position 4 days later, which I accepted with no hesitation!
I am very grateful for all of Ryan’s support and would highly recommend using Douglas Scott!

I've dealt with Emily twice now this past year and she is hands down the best recruiter I've ever dealt with.
She's professional, honest, understanding and patient and always has great opportunities and advice to give.
Highly recommend.

Lorraine Terry was absolutely superb in the months leading up to my offer. She was considerate, kind, patient and always at the end of the phone. I couldn’t have secured the offer without her and went the extra mile to ensure that the financial package met my needs. Thank you so much Lorraine, you are a credit to Douglas Scott and I am so grateful for the support you showed me.

Aqsa Shafi has a fantastic understanding of the Scottish legal market. She has great connections and knows which firms are looking even before jobs are posted. Having used a few recruiters this time around, I can confidently say, Aqsa knocked it out of the park! She found a perfect match for me - a role that wasn’t advertised yet and no other recruiter knew of. Aqsa prepared me very well for the interviews, always kept me in the loop on progress, and was a joy to work with. I am so grateful to her! I can highly recommend Aqsa Shafi at Douglas Scott!
