I could not have had a better experience with Realm Recruit. Within a week of speaking with Paula for the first time, I was accepting my position at my new firm. I would recommend Realm and Paula to anybody looking to make a career move.

Kelly's knowledge of the private client market on a local and national level was invaluable. She was approachable and open throughout the process and I would happily recommend Kelly to anyone considering their next career move.
Helen Gott
Senior Associate
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!
