Clients who trust us

BCL and I have built up a relationship over the years but they took the time to understand the needs of my new role and organisation. Providing three excellent shortlists, all of which met our criteria.

BCL was very selective with the interviews arranged, appreciating that with time constraints we were focused on interviewing only the highest quality candidates with a very close fit.
Steven Whitehead
Group Commercial Director, The Hut Group
Mark Levine is extremely knowledgeable in relation to in-house roles. He didn’t just ask me what I needed - he analysed the role, the work, my company – it was a full but carefully constructed analysis. When he finds candidates he then explains how they might fit, the areas that might not work and then how they might view the company. This is very important as lawyers will often have different views of companies when compared to law firms. Mark has managed to find candidates when others have failed.
