For Clients

For too long recruitment businesses have focused on methods rather than results. We are committed to delivering quality lateral hires to our clients whatever the means. Whether retained search, advertising, database search or a targeted ‘rifle-shot' approach, we work closely with our clients to come up with the best possible recruitment solution.

Whatever method we employ, we guarantee you the following:

  • We take the time to understand our clients' businesses thoroughly, including culture, ethos and business direction.
  • We only accept instructions if we are confident of completing the assignment and are dedicated to doing so on time, to specification and within budget.
  • We pride ourselves on creative solutions to recruitment challenges. We are incredibly well networked into the London legal market and offer a more dynamic way of working than the traditional research-heavy headhunt businesses.
  • We have kept our research team small so that any calls made to prospective candidates are made by experienced consultants.
  • Our process is transparent and our feedback, positive or negative is always honest.
  • We are highly selective in accepting assignments so that we have a limited ‘off-list' which allows our clients access to a greater pool of potential candidates.
  • Our fees are weighted heavily towards success.

Deacon Search

Deacon Search is a leader in the City legal marketplace. Their experienced and knowledgeable team cover the full spectrum of search and recruitment services that I am looking for. Their regular updates and the annual report of Partner Moves is very informative and thought-provoking. Candidates also report a very professional service from Deacon Search. Above all else though, they are very nice people to work with!
