It was a pleasure working with Charlotte. She was diligent, pro-active, very supportive and really knew the market. I would highly recommend her.
The best recruiter around!
Charlotte and the rest of the team were proactive and encouraging. They found several openings and helped me every step of the way. I ended up securing a position at a Legal 500 firm. The experience has been life-changing and I would gladly recommend Austen Lloyd to anyone who asks.
This legal recruitment service is excellent. Attention to detail, encouraging, understanding best way to approach interviews, patient and efficient fast communication. I have been successfully placed twice in 8 years into roles I believe in. They use initiative and brilliant recall for roles a candidate would best fulfill.

Gemma was extremely professional and understanding throughout ongoing multiple recruitment processes. Showed class particularly in terms of the outcome, and her involvement was much appreciated.
Great experience finding new role
Isabel was brilliant in helping me secure my new role. She made the process smooth and kept me updated from start to finish. She really understood what I was looking for and helped me find exactly that. Grateful for her support and would happily recommend her and the Austen Lloyd Team.
Thank you Freya!
I was fortunate to have Freya assist me in obtaining new employment. If it wasn’t for Freya then I wouldn’t have even known about the job opportunity, nor would I have applied for it. Freya was absolutely brilliant. She would regularly reach out to me, even on her own annual leave. Nothing was too much trouble for her. Freya also had fantastic negotiation skills. I would recommend Freya to anyone. So much so, that I have already recommended her to another friend / ex colleague.
