When I needed to recruit, BCL found the type of person I was looking for and within a few days, I received four good CVs, I would have been happy to offer a role to either of the two candidates.
Gillian Hill
Head of Legal, Verastar Limited
I would happily recommend BCL Legal to anyone looking for a new role. BCL Legal matched my skill set to the jobs that they have put me up for and as a result, I have been able to fit into a job and organisation quickly and be productive from day one. What sets BCL Legal apart, for me, is their friendliness that is matched by their professionalism. I found BCL Legal extremely helpful, personable and professional.

Having recently moved to the North West, BCL was always available. Keeping me informed at each stage, it was their local knowledge that allowed me to really focus on the right role for me.
