"The Shaw Chapman consultant played a key role in helping me to achieve my goal of obtaining a partnership position at a London firm. She was extremely professional, discreet and consistent in the service that she provided. She provided useful telephone pre-briefings and debriefings at each stage of the process, kept me fully and regularly appraised of progress and developments, acted as an effective conduit and negotiator between myself and potential new firms and followed up all queries and information requests quickly and efficiently. She had a good knowledge of the market and practice area, and a good understanding of the roles for which she was recruiting. In particular, it was clear that she had a very good relationship with the firm that had instructed her and that they had a great deal of trust in her. She was always a pleasure to deal with and I am delighted to recommend her highly.” EU/Competition Partner, moving from Associate position in London to a Partner position in London“I approached Shaw Chapman on the recommendation of a colleague. I was contacted very shortly after by a Shaw Chapman consultant who, from then on, provided a service that was everything that I could have hoped for. The things that really impress me about The Shaw Chapman consultant are: 1.) The efforts she went to, to really understand my job, why I wanted to move and what I was really looking for; 2.) She never tried to encourage me to consider roles that were not a good match for me; 3.) Her understanding of the market, contacts and tenacity; 4.) Her efficiency, if she says she is going to call at a certain time, she does just that and you never have to call her; 5.) The time and effort that she put in preparing me for interview; 6.) Her follow up calls keeping me fully informed at all times; 7.)The extra attention to detail, providing me with background information for interviews; 8.)The fact that, even when she had secured a new position for me, she did not abandon me at that point, but assisted with resignation letters, start dates for my new job and generally went beyond what any other consultant has ever done for me in the past. I would have no hesitation in recommending her to colleagues as she really is the best consultant that I have ever come across.” PFI Senior Solicitor, Birmingham to Birmingham“The Shaw Chapman consultant’s approach was different to others who have called out of the blue. She told me very clearly who she was, explained coherently how she could assist me to find a position even though she was not based in Manchester herself and talked intelligently about the marketplace and the recognised firms in my specialist area. This meant that from an early stage I was confident to leave matters in her hands. She contacted everyone that I asked her to and made anonymous enquiries of her own. I was told by a third party about a vacancy which sounded ideal for me and before I had time to contact her, she called to tell me about it. Since The Shaw Chapman consultant had already helped me secure an offer from another firm it was imperative to move quickly. The Shaw Chapman consultant used this information to get me an interview prior to the firm's deadline for applications had passed, and an offer followed almost immediately. She was a fantastic help and took the stress out of finding a position. I have since recommended Shaw Chapman to colleagues and they would be the first company I would contact should I consider a move in the future.” Employment Solicitor, London to Manchester
