What the Costs lawyers and law firms we work with say...
“Realm were extremely helpful at every stage of the recruitment process. They were always available to answer any questions I had. I would highly recommend Realm.”
Natalie McCann, Paralegal
“I approached Realm after a recommendation and I was so impressed with the process from start to finish. They contacted me quickly and even though I was trying to find an NQ job during a time when I had been told by other recruiters that the market was flat, Realm lined up two interviews at good firms in a short space of time- one of which I went on to accept a job offer from. Realm were thorough in the information they provided and always kept in touch. I am extremely impressed and will definitely be recommending Realm to other trainees in the legal world. Thanks again for your help!”
Naomi O’Rourke, Solicitor
“I spoke with a number of agencies during my job search, but Realm were by far the best. They worked hard to find something that suited my requirements and didn’t try to push me to take the first role on offer. They checked back in with me regularly on new opportunities and he followed up with me until the day I started my new job. Highly recommended.”
Samantha Whitehead, Solicitor
“We have used Realm Recruit for a number of years now. Realm are always proactive without being too pushy and has found us some great candidates. They are very good at keeping us informed as to what is going on and puts candidates forward who can not only do the job but who will also be a good fit for the firm and its values.”
