Mark’s testimonials

Managing Director | Global Legal Provider

„I can thoroughly recommend Mark Harris and Carter Murray. We, at The Legal 500, had a plan to launch a new division within our business. The plan relied upon us being able to recruit a different type of individual to those we had previously recruited. I approached Mark to discuss our plans, our ambitions and the type of people who we thought might be a great fit for us. Mark was incredibly helpful in helping finesse our plans and build a recruitment strategy. He spent time evaluating our needs and matching those to suitable candidates. This meant that when he presented me with CVs that were spot on, which meant I did not have to waste time seeing people who were not suitable for the role. The result was that we saw three people for interview, and we offered two a job. We have now recruited two exceptionally talented people who will play a big role in developing our business. Working with Mark and Carter Murray was a pleasure (this is coming from someone who usually hates recruiting) and I can thoroughly recommend them.“
