This role is vital to their ability to offer new and existing business clients a complete service and deliver our growth plans.

At Hunters Legal, our goal is simple: to place the right candidate in their perfect opportunity. We work with candidates to understand their particular skills and ambitions, then pair them with a firm that could benefit from these strengths.
Hunters are very easy to work with and guided me through the process of finding a new role in a professional yet friendly manner. They listened to what my dream role would be and then managed to find it for me! I would happily recommend Hunters to anyone looking for a role change.
Paul assisted me in my search for a new role from start to finish in a professional manner. He was supportive when I needed him to be but was equally not over the top or pushy with calls or emails like some other recruiters can be. I would recommend anyone in the legal sector to Paul in the future.
Paul was incredibly helpful and supportive during the process. He was not only professional, engaging with me on my needs and wants for my next role but also showed empathy which is rare.
Looking for a new role is often for personal progression or change but it can also be an emotional process especially if you really like and respect the people you work for.
Paul was able to relate to that and at the same time help me to really consider whether a move was right for me at the time and if it was, what type of role would best suit me. Clearly a move was right for me and he made thoughtful recommendations on firms and positions available which best suited me at the stage I am in my career.
I am happy to say that I was successful at securing offers on all positions I interviewed for. My experience with recruiters in the past haven’t been so smooth with them just throwing various roles at you that clearly do not match what you are looking for. So it was a breath of fresh air working with Paul and I would recommend him to anyone who is looking for a new role.
Working with Paul has been an absolute pleasure. I was highly impressed by his knowledge, understanding and amiable manner. Paul worked quickly and effectively, with a confident professionalism, all of which helped me take decisions and progress arrangements smoothly and positively. Paul ensured that I had excellent advice and guidance at every stage of the process, and his enthusiasm, assurances and focus were consistently helpful and much appreciated. I would highly recommend Paul to anyone in the field who is looking to make a move or seeking to recruit.
Paul was fantastic and very professional in finding me a suitable role. He really went out of his way to ensure a perfect placement for me and I would be delighted to recommend him for future placements.
I would have no hesitation recommending Hunters. From the initial contact through to placing me in a role, Hunters worked hard to make the process as smooth and stress free as possible, offering advice, keeping me updated and making themselves available to answer any queries. They listened well, understood my job requirements quickly and accurately, putting me forward to companies that met my expectations. Having secured my ideal role I am very grateful for Hunters' professionalism and assistance. Thank you Paul!
Hunters were really knowledgeable in the legal field and very efficient throughout my job search. I would highly recommend them.
Paul was great in finding the perfect role for me, making the whole recruitment process easy from start to finish. Paul was great to work with and always helpful. I would highly recommend Paul to anyone looking for a new role.
Paul and the team at Hunters continue to be an important part of our hiring process. It is a pleasure to deal with a company that share our values of exceptional client care and service.
Hunters were excellent in finding me a role very quickly. They listened to what I wanted and were communicating all the time. I went for an interview and got a decision on the same day as Paul pushed for a decision as I was going on holiday the next day. I was very impressed and would definitely use him again if I need to. I have used quite a few recruiters and Paul is one of the best ones I've used as there's no delay in getting back to me and he is very responsive whereas you are always chasing other recruiters.
