"Andrew Wintle at First Counsel identified a unique and ideal opportunity for me within the first week of my engagement with First Counsel. The subsequent support and inside information helped me secure the role and I am grateful for Andrew and First Counsel's efficient and targeted search results."
"I have used Andy Wintle at First Counsel during my last two moves. Firstly into a fee-earning role and subsequently into my current role as a PSL. On both occasions I was very impressed by the diligence and openness with which he handled my search. He gave me a range of options, highlighted the "Cons" as well as the "Pros" and gave me detailed information on each role as I went through the process. The service I received was really comprehensive and I felt that Andy had a deep understanding of his market."
"...Thank you so much for all your help in finding me the role at [Top 30 Firm]. I really appreciated your support throughout. The advice you gave in relation to my CV and also your interview training were invaluable in helping me secure this job..."
"Chris has advised me twice on career moves and, in both instances, he has produced a wide variety of options for me to consider, was extremely helpful in helping me to prepare my business plan and has been invaluable in formulating my plans. Chris' knowledge of the market has, on both occasions, been first class. But perhaps what I like most about Chris is his honest and straightforward - but strategic - approach. Above all, this gave me the confidence that my interests were being looked after. I would whole-heartedly recommend First Counsel, and Chris in particular, to anyone else seeking to make a move."
"When unexpectedly I found myself in the job market a friend's HR department recommended that I get in touch with First Counsel. So I did. I met with Chris Cayley who was very knowledgeable about my market, was extremely helpful when I was preparing my business plan, and arranged meetings and liaised with the firms that we had together selected. With Chris' support I was able to focus on obtaining the position I wanted to take my career forward. If/when I need recruitment consultants in the future I definitely will contact First Counsel."
"Making a partnership move is a big step in anyones career - I found William was extremely professional and his market knowledge for partnership moves is first rate. He clearly understood not only what I was looking for but also what the firms where trying to achieve and there was never a fear of being pushed down an unsuitable path. William helped guide me through which opportunities were best suited to my experience and long term career objectives and I would not hesitate to recommend William".
"William is an experienced recruiter with market knowledge that is second to none. In considering my move I needed an objective and professional consultant. Having worked with William before I had no hesitation in approaching him for advice and market information re any proposed move. I found him responsive and somebody that most certainly added value to our professional relationship.There was never any pressure applied to any of my choices but rather frank and honest discussions as to what option would be best suited to my circumstances."
