WHAT CLIENTS AND CANDIDATES SAY. . .
Testimonials: Testimonials
Shobana was instrumental in facilitating my next career move, from helping me update my CV to interview preparation! I appreciated her genuine desire to help me secure a job that was the right fit for me. Whilst Shobana was not afraid to provide robust advice and direction (when I needed it), she also empowered me to explore different options, make informed decisions, and secure a position at a leading law firm.

"Shobana placed me into a senior finance role (private practice) while I was working in London. She is not like other recruiters I have worked with before. She truly appreciated what I was looking for and her knowledge of the Australian legal market is second to none. She spent a lot of her time prepping me for interviews as the Australian style of interviewing is vastly different to the London style. She is a recruiter who genuinely cares for the candidate's interests and ensures a right fit both for the employer and the candidate. She is a true professional with a high degree of emotional intelligence and a humble personality who is a pleasure to work with. I have no hesitation in recommending Shobana."

"I worked with Shobana throughout 2016 when she obtained a position for me as a finance associate at a top tier Australian law firm. I had previously been working in a mid tier firm. I found Shobana to be extremely helpful, knowledgable and honest throughout the process. I really enjoyed working with her. She frequently took calls from me outside business hours and nothing was too much trouble. She provided excellent guidance during the interview process, giving me tips on how best to talk through my deal sheet. Shobana capably negotiated terms with my new employer and I was very happy with the result. I would recommend any lawyer to use Shobana - I really felt as though I was in safe hands."

She knows the legal market very well and I wouldn't hesitate go to her - whether I am hiring for my own team or looking to move firms myself."

"Shobana placed me twice in Australia and London. She has been a great source of knowledge and guidance. Shobana is very easy to work with. She is prompt, responsive and always happy to be a sounding board for anything in the process. I have a lot of respect for her opinion. It was clear that she wanted to find me a great role I was happy with, not just make a placement for the sake of a commission. She is someone I would be glad to recommend."
Associate, Finance - Magic Circle firm, London
"Shobana is a recruiter I have now worked with for a number of years and she is my "go to" when I have a new role or just want some market intel. Shobana knows her stuff and I know that when I brief her she will only put good candidates in front of me. She understands the firm and she understands that I am busy - she doesn't waste my time. I wish there were more recruiters like Shobana in the market!"

"I worked with Shobana in 2015. She helped me obtain my current position moving from a mid tier to a top tier firm. Shobana was of great assistance through the entire process, both identifying an appropriate role for my needs and skills, and being extremely helpful, knowledgable and honest all the way through. I really enjoyed working with her and continue to use Shobana as a sounding board for advice. Shobana always went out of her way to field my questions. She provided excellent guidance through the interview process. She gave me advice and tips on what to expect , how to handle my interviewers and how to put my best foot forward. I'm grateful to Shobana for the part she played in helping me secure this role."
