Charlotte and Isabel at Austen Lloyd were excellent at getting me a great new job, they were persistent and always available to give updates on email and phone. Negotiated me a better salary than I was expecting. Great work, thanks.

I have had the pleasure of dealing with Gemma throughout my job search. She has been efficient, kind and very professional throughout and I have now secured employment! Would definitely recommend 🙂

Gemma was a really attentive recruitment agent who was really supportive and steered me to the vacancies that were good for me and ticked all the boxes for the type of role I required. I would not hesitate to recommend her for anyone who is looking for their next role. She is really proactive.

I worked with Isabel M and Lyndsay C and I found both to be really helpful and easy to reach. Thank you both for your efforts!

I have worked with Charlotte Wills on a number of occasions over past years, most notably in 2008, when she was instrumental in securing me what must have been the only residential property vacancy in the entire country at that time! She has always been extremely friendly/easy to work with and responsive to the needs of both recruiter and potential candidate.

Austen Lloyd were great at helping me secure a practice area change at an early stage in my career. They kept me updated throughout the process as well as notifying me about other opportunities that may be of interest. In particular Charlotte and Isabel were excellent and I would recommend Austen Lloyd to anyone looking for a career move generally.

Rhiannon, Charlotte and the team at Austen Lloyd offer superb support throughout the recruitment process and cannot rate them highly enough. Thank you for providing your expertise and kindness on the other side of the phone and e-mail - you are a delight to deal with. I am most grateful for my recent appointment.

Charlotte has always been very attentive and quick to respond to any questions.

I have been kept informed and supported throughout by Isabel, who I cannot recommend enough. I have been very pleased with the service provided and am very happily looking forward to my new role, thanks to Isabel.

Excellent Rory was extremely helpful, and a pleasure to deal with. Overall an excellent, professional service..

Highly recommended - Rory Hancock assisted me in securing a new role in the North-West. From the outset Rory was great to work with. He listened to my requirements, actively identified possible opportunities and at all times provided a high level of client care. Rory was always available to deal with my queries and nothing was too much trouble for him. He kept me regularly updated and was always a pleasure to deal with maintaining a positive attitude at all times. I would highly recommend Rory as a recruiter. He secured me a great position at an International Firm, and I cannot thank him enough.

Great service! Having worked with Austen Lloyd for a number of years I can vouch for the excellent service that Isabel and Gemma provide!

I have worked with Austen Lloyd for a number of years, mainly with Gemma, but I have worked with other recruiters, more recently Rory. Service has always been great and everyone has been easy to deal with.
