“Duane could not have been more approachable when I first contacted him for advice about putting together a CV after twenty years of not writing one. He gave me a structure to start with and then kindly reviewed it offering tips of how to fine-tune it. Since then I have attended webinars where he has discussed recruitment in the legal sector offering interesting insight and encouragement. Duane is honest, approachable and motivational as well as being highly experienced in his field. Certainly a great person to connect with if you are considering taking that first terrifying step into a new career.”

“Duane helped me find my new role in September and I cannot recommend him and Realm highly enough. He is helpful, quick to respond and has a great knowledge of the market. I had a number of questions, having been with my previous firm for a number of years and having not looked for a new role for quite some time. Duane had helpful and practical advice for me and was always on hand to calm any fears I might have had. He is patient and calm and worked very hard to secure my new role; one in which I am very happy.”

They listened to my requirements and expectations and, because the are specialists, they were able to recommend a number of live jobs that matched what I was looking for.

Claims Handler
“I can't thank Kelly enough for all her help and support in getting me my new role. I was at somewhat of a crossroads and looking to make a bit of a non-conventional move by swapping specialisms which is difficult enough on its own never mind during a global pandemic. Kelly really took the time to find out what I wanted from my next role and helped find firms which matched that. She knows the private client industry exceptionally well and truly is excellent at her job. she was prompt with her feedback and so helpful during the entire process from CV to interview and negotiation of terms. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending her to any firms or solicitors looking for their next employee or next role. Thanks again Kelly!”
