A fresh approach to legal recruitment

Lauren has really taken the time to get to know our business and understands what we’re looking for in our new recruits. She doesn’t send over a CV unless she’s confident that they will fit from both an experience and values perspective – that’s worth its weight in gold. As a result, Lauren has had a brilliant success rate with finding us new team members and we’re really grateful for her efforts.

I have worked for a number of years with Lauren - both to take locums and as a locum, and lately with Kirstie in my latest role. I have found them both to be a pleasure to work with, not only because they are professional, trustworthy and honest, but because they are very personable, easy to get along with and have that rare ability to make you feel that they are working with you to achieve the best outcome for you. They are a rare find and certainly stand out amongst their competitors!

We use Birchrose as our first port of call for permanent and temporary roles at all levels. The whole team are a joy to deal with, professional and friendly and always on the ball. You are made to feel like you are their only client, or certainly their favourite! All members of the team are easy to talk to, have taken time to get to know me and our business culture and have sourced excellent high calibre candidates who are a great fit. I could not recommend Birchrose highly enough!

I dealt with Gemma at Birchrose Associates and she was a "gem" the whole way through! She was very engaging and responsive between me and the client the whole way through the process and always had my best interests in mind. Would highly recommend!

We have been working with Gemma for about 8 years to recruit paralegal and administrative support staff, primarily for the firm’s residential property department. Gemma has taken the time to really understand the firm, specifically the way in which our residential property team works so that she can find the right candidate who will meet our needs and whose personality and approach will fit in with our team.

I would highly recommend contacting Gemma at Birchrose Associates if anyone is looking for a new role - she's honestly the best! After nearly a year of being unsuccessful with job applications, I am now working somewhere I love. Since the first contact Gemma was positive, friendly and genuinely excited to talk about the opportunities available, which made me have faith in finding a job again.

I used the services of Birchrose Associates in relation to my job search and I was highly impressed by the quality of service I received. Rebecca Smith worked relentlessly to ensure she identified the right firm to suit my personality and experience. She updated me almost daily on progress with my applications which was reassuring. I felt well looked after. I highly recommend Rebecca and Birchrose Associates.

Having worked with Kirstie at Birchrose Associates closely over the last 8-12 months on various roles, my experience has been a positive one. Kirstie is diligent, prompt and pro-active in her approach to assisting our recruitment needs. One of few recruitment consultants that gets it right when it comes to providing an effective and valuable service.

The services of Birchrose was recently recommended to me and I worked with Kirstie and Rebecca to secure locum roles. I found them both to be professional, very personable and expedient in their communication with myself and with the law firms requiring a locum to ensure the best possible outcome for me was achieved.

Following my first conversation with Lauren I could tell she was different from other recruiters. She was genuinely interested in getting to know what I was looking for in my next role and, to her, I was not just another candidate to fill a role. She was extremely patient as I took my time consider my next big move and was very supportive in my decision making. She always gave me 100% attention and still continues to follow up post placement. I wouldn’t recommend using anyone else.

Since last year Kirstie and Birchrose have shown they’ve broken the mould. No false promises or non- existent roles.
Kirstie’s skill set and empathy are fabulous. When I receive an email to get in touch, I know it’s not a fishing expedition or to waste my time.
Their timesheet system is great and payments received without fail. If Carlsberg did recruiters, they would all be like Kirstie! 

Lauren and Tanya have been absolutely incredible in assisting me with my job search. The communication has been outstanding and they really know what they are doing! They both understood what I was looking for and my expertise. The preparation calls before my interviews have been incredibly helpful, I wouldn't have been able to get through the interviews without their support. I'm incredibly grateful and excited to start my new job in the coming weeks and that's all thanks to Tanya and Lauren at Birchrose Associates. 

Rebecca Smith at Birchrose is an absolute star! Rebecca arranged a high quality placement that turned into a permanent position thanks to her careful negotiation and relationship management skills. Highly recommend Birchrose Associates as a firm with high standards but with a personable approach.

Emily was exceptional throughout the entire recruitment process. She took the time to understand my exact motivations for a move, was incredibly helpful in sharing her expertise/market knowledge, and kept me informed at every juncture. Emily went above and beyond to help me land my ideal role, for which I'm very grateful. She was a genuine pleasure to work with and I couldn't recommend her enough if you are looking for a new role.
