Testimonials

“I first came across Realm after hearing one of their managers speak at a Law Conference, and much of what they stood for really resonated with me. What stood out from the start was their knowledge and transparency, particularly around costs and terms, which are clearly laid out from the outset. When working with a recruitment firm, I want it to feel like an extension of our own business — more like reaching out to another internal department than dealing with an entirely separate organisation. That’s exactly the experience I’ve had with Realm. They’ve taken the time to truly understand our business — our culture, our people, and the kind of working relationships that matter to us. Because of this, I’m only ever presented with carefully selected candidates who not only have the technical skills we need, but who also bring the right attitude and are a great cultural fit. From the initial CVs to the final offer stage, Realm are there every step of the way. I also value the confidence they have in us as an employer — they know what kind of environment candidates are stepping into, and that helps build trust on both sides. Communication is always quick and responsive, and I’ve really appreciated the ongoing support and availability, particularly from Kim Stark. The service and relationship we’ve built have become such a trusted part of how we recruit that I genuinely can’t imagine receiving this level of care and understanding elsewhere.”

“Bill has always been extremely patient and supportive. We are a niche law firm and sourcing for our roles requires an in depth knowledge of the market. Bill is a true expert and always stands up to a challenge. He takes time to listen and comes back with solutions. He helped me with several roles and it almost felt as if he would be working with us in the office. Aside from being a legal recruitment expert, he is also a fantastic people person and builds long lasting relationships with clients.”

“I would definitely recommend Realm as an agency of choice. Kelly and Bill have been fantastic. The team takes time to understand the firm its culture and roles. Instead of offering promised they cannot fulfil, they come back with real solutions. They also consult with us in regards to the market and advise on matters, which is what consultants should do (not only resource). Bill has always been extremely patient and supportive.

“We turned to Kelly when we were looking for a Head of our Private Client department. She took the time to understand our business and culture and quickly provided several very credible candidates for a role for which we had been finding it difficult to find the right person. We found a fantastic solicitor with great skills and who fits our ethos very well. Kelly supported us throughout and I highly recommend her.”

“Anyone who has made a ‘wrong’ appointment will know the true value of getting it right! Getting the right fit, is so much more than what is found on a CV. We are interested in what motivates our staff and how they instinctively approach client care. Values are everything to us and Joe recognises this. ”

“Each time we have provided Lucy with a candidate brief, we have been provided with high-level consultancy support. Lucy is very diligent and detail-focused on the requirements of our candidate brief - and critically - delivers results. It is refreshing to work with a "commercially aware" recruitment consultant who truly understands our business. We look forward to Lucy assisting our business with our growth road plan.”

“Realm have been, and continues to be, a pleasure to deal with. They are professional and personable and have a real feel for our business. Their understanding of the brief and the type of candidates we require means there have been regular success stories as our team continues to grow. ”

“Paula was fantastic – she clearly had top candidates in mind when we first met but she took the time to listen to our needs, ethos and plans before suggesting anyone to meet. The first candidate we met was the one who eventually joined us so her instinct was right. ”

“I would not hesitate to recommend Rebecca and the team at Realm. I have worked with Realm in the past but this was the first time working with Rebecca and she was very friendly, proactive and responsive. She was a great help in finding us a new member of the team.”
