I have worked with Andrew and his team for a number of years now in my capacity as Recruitment Manager at a UK top 100 law firm. His expertise as a legal recruiter and head-hunter is second to none and what I particularly value is that he takes the time to really understand us as a firm, what we do, our culture, and the kinds of candidates who would succeed across different teams here.

Jack was so supportive right from the initial chat, to the very end of the process. I was not looking for a new position but after speaking to Jack, who explained his role in a friendly and personable way, I felt comfortable in engaging in further discussions. Right through, Jack was responsive, supportive and answered any questions that I had as fully as possible and in a friendly and supportive manner. I would highly recommend Jack. I had not worked with a recruiter before; however, Jack is the blue print for his role. 

Honestly, thank you for everything, you were brilliant. 

I am not a frequent flyer in the jobs market and Jack made the process of moving as stress-free as possible for me. He was very supportive throughout and always available to answer any questions I had. He was very professional and knowledgeable but personable at the same time. I definitely felt like he had the best interests of both parties at heart.

Dear Andrew

I just wanted to take the opportunity to thank you for all of the support you provided me during the recruitment to my new position. At all times, I felt that you had my best interests at heart.  You were always keen to ensure that the move was the right step for me and I am grateful for your wise counsel and encouragement.  At no point did I ever feel under pressure to accept the job, despite the hours you had spent supporting me in the process.

I am delighted that I made the move and I am forever grateful for your professionalism, kindness, sound advice and good humour. 

Wishing you every success in the future.

Kind regards

Jack has been brilliant! So approachable and helpful. I felt very supported throughout the whole process. Thank you Jack.

Andrew and his team are superb. As an in-house resourcing lead for over twenty years, I’ve seen my fair share of both the good and the bad, and Stone Recruitment are absolutely in my teams ‘excellent’ category.

The candidates say they really enjoy their interactions with Stone Recruitment– which is what excellent recruitment is all about. I almost don’t want to write this recommendation, as it might help our competitors find out about our ‘secret weapon’, but they deserve the plaudits.

I can highly recommend SRG Legal, and Jack Leighton. Jack approached me in regard to a partner vacancy which was a good match for my skill set and experience. Although I was not looking to move at the time, I was open to a chat, and the respectful and unpressurised way in which Jack conducted himself led me to enter into those discussions with confidence. Jack took time and care to explain the role in detail and to investigate any points on which he was unsure. As discussions progressed and an offer was made he also acted as an advocate for me, whilst managing both sides’ expectations, based on his knowledge and experience of the market. He was polite and responsive throughout and I am grateful for the role he played in securing my new job- thank you.

Stone Recruitment work hard (very hard) when trying to fill a vacancy for their clients – they give you great confidence that (even if no CVs are forthcoming) they are genuinely working away behind the scenes on your behalf.

We have been dealing with Stone Recruitment for the last few years and have found them extremely proactive and very strong on customer service.

I have thanked Jack many times for his support and efforts in helping to secure a role. At all times he made me feel confident and calm heading into the first and second interview and kept in contact throughout the process. Jack also contacted me after my first day to see how I had settled in. He went above and beyond to ensure the recruitment process went as smoothly as possible and was very knowledgeable about the role and the firm, answering all my queries clearly and promptly. A relaxed, friendly and supportive experience. Thank you again Jack!

It was a pleasure to work with Stone Recruitment. They are a recruiter with a keen eye for detail and were able to provide unique opportunities. I was extremely impressed with the help they gave in preparing for interviews. They had researched the firm well and knew the role in question, this was invaluable in helping to focus interview preparation. I genuinely felt they were as invested in the process as I was.

Stone Recruitment were absolutely incredible. They perfectly balance being friendly and approachable with getting the job done really efficiently. They answered any questions I had (there were lots!) very quickly but also very honestly. Stone Recruitment were so quick in helping me to find the perfect job, a role that I am still in now, that I would recommend them to anyone - and I have!

Stone Recruitment were a joy to work with, and found a number of opportunities for me, ranging from niche to huge international firms. They were quick to react and very organised at setting up the various meetings. It felt like the team really listened and were genuinely trying to find me the 'right fit'. They made the whole process less stressful and I really enjoyed working with them.

Jack is an excellent recruitment consultant. It was clear from his first approach that he properly considered my profile and that I would be a genuinely good fit for the role. He was extremely responsive and supportive throughout and proactive in following up to check I was ready to start my role and, later, that I was happy in it (which I am!). Thank you, Jack.

Stone Recruitment Group have invested significant time in supporting us with a number of particularly niche and challenging vacancies, finding us some excellent candidates from NQ Solicitors to Partners.
