What makes a great recruiter in the legal industry?

Integrity, knowledge, the ability to build trust and forge strong relationships.

What do you think sets a great lawyer apart from a good one in the hiring process?

In depth knowledge of the firm/the opportunity as well of course being confident in their own ability in what they do and getting that across in the interview.

If you could give one tip to lawyers preparing for interviews, what would it be?

Prepare for it like an exam.

What’s one thing candidates should never say in an interview?

How much will you pay me.

What’s the biggest misconception about legal recruitment?

It's easy.

What’s your proudest moment at RedLaw so far?

Moving a team to an international firm having built a relationship with them over the course of 4 years.

If you weren’t a recruiter, what would you be doing?

I'd be the head of private client shopping at Harvey Nics.

Why did you choose to join RedLaw, and what do you enjoy most about working here?

I had known Jon and Amy for many years and always respected them. Knowing them as being superb recruiters, hard working, and generally all round good people. The opportunity to work in a collegiate and supportive agency was also very appealing.
