Highly recommend Gareth Hibbery

I was contacted by Gareth Hibbert on LinkedIn to see if I would be interested in a chat about positions available. I had no expectations but was open to discussions. I sent my CV to Gareth, who then discussed an available position with me over the phone. He sent my CV off and arranged an interview for the next week. He was helpful in assisting with rearranging due to childcare and then helped to arrange my second interview quickly. Gareth was available every step of the way and updated me as much as possible, he was always open to answering and questions I had too. He called to update me even when there was no update from the employer and then called with great news of a job offer late on a Friday afternoon. He even responded to a text message from the employer at 8pm, which shows his commitment to his role!
I would highly recommend Gareth following my experience with him.

Fantastic Experience - Tom Bagley

Tom was brilliant throughout my time applying and interviewing for my current role!

It felt like he made every effort to make sure I was well prepared for my interviews and he never failed to keep me updated with everything as soon as he could. I would also like to commend Tom on his communication style, it never felt like he was applying any pressure to accept the role he had found for me. He always had my best interests in mind, which you don't always encounter with recruiters.

I would not hesitate to recommend both Tom and Douglas Scott to anyone in the legal sector!
