At GR Law we pride ourselves on the quality of our candidates and the service that we provide. We are really please to say that a large part of our candidate flow is due to repeat business and referrals from successfully placed candidates.  This sees us with our head above our competitors because we really know what our candidates want and what they are looking for.

Looking for a new job can be a stressful process and we look to take the stress out of it and make it as smooth a process as possible.  How do we do this though?  Easy, we take the guess work out of the process and provide up-to-date market knowledge and client information.  We consult with our candidates and clients to ensure that the best information is provided.

Candidates over the years have informed us that the following is what is most important to them when selecting the best legal consultancy:

Range of vacancies

Because we specialise purely in Legal recruitment we have a very good name in the market as a leading Legal consultancy.  We work with 37 of the top 40 law firms in Sydney and 60 of the top 80 law firms in London.  In addition to this we work with international firms with representation in Sydney and London as well a numerous in-house departments of some of the top companies in the World.  Our specialist consultants in each office are regularly recruiting for Singapore, Beijing, Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Doha, Bahrain, India & Muscat.  We also recruit for most major European Cities including: Paris, Brussels, Munich, Frankfurt, Moscow and Kazakhstan

Market knowledge

Our market knowledge is second to none.  This is simply because of the fact that we have been working in legal fields in various Cities across the world for so long and our client list is spread far and wide.  We have a number of consultants/managers/directors in each office with over 15-20 years’ experience each; this is an excellent source of information not only for clients and candidates but also for any new consultants that join GR Law.  You can see this in the About Us section which will explain each consultants experience and length of service at GR Law.

International Positions

As mentioned above we have consultants specialising in multiple time zones across the world and with this they are very knowledgeable about the processes of moving to a new Country / City.  Many of our consultants have either experienced this themselves by either working or living or having spent a large amount of time in the country they recruit for.  The also would have helped numerous candidates through this process.

Our international consultants will also visit the countries regularly to keep up to date with clients on the ground as well as on any new market developments and immigration laws.

Interview Preparation

Being specialists in legal recruitment we are interviewing candidates on a daily basis, because of this our clients invite us to assist with their selection and interview process.  We have extensive notes on interview tips and processes that are available to all candidates.  If you are a particularly nervous interviewee we will also be able to invite you into the office before your interviews to hold a mock interview for you to practice on.  This will enable us to provide you with constructive criticism and help you to be able to get only your finest points to clients.

Approachability

We are here to help you find your perfect role, this is as simple as it gets.  We want you to feel welcome in our offices and we know that it is really important during this process that you have a consultant that you can talk to and is honest, open, reliable and consistent.  We pride ourselves on being able to build solid relationships with our candidates this helps us really understand what it is you are exactly looking for.  Our feedback will always be honest and sometimes we may guide you towards different aspirations and viable alternatives but we can assure you that everything will be very constructive and will help you on your way to finding the perfect next role for you.

The London Market

The Market/Current Situation

We are pleased to say that the legal market is finally picking up after several bleak years. Having become used to hearing of redundancies each week these have almost completely disappeared. There is still some restructuring going on but much of this is much more strategic than a rapid response to falling levels on income. In fact many firms have reported significant profitability increases on the previous year. It is not yet a completely rosy picture as most firms are cautious about the future.

Hiring activity across the City has increased significantly in all areas although firms are still insisting that applicants meet every criterion and will reject candidates who do not fit the job description precisely. As a result some jobs are remaining unfilled. We anticipate that firms will have to become more flexible in their hiring over the next few months as the shortage of skilled applicants starts to impact their ability to grow.
