Penny Trotman's Reviews

Candidate

I wanted to pass on to you again my thanks and heartful gratitude for all your hard work in helping me secure my new role.

Your sheer determination and patience has helped me secure a partnership role with a firm I have pursued for some time. You encouraged me to persevere and not be afraid to showcase to the firm the great fit we shared, and I am so grateful you kept that up across many difficult months when the health crisis hit. You have been tenacious and thought outside the box, and made suggestions which I know from the firms' feedback have helped get me an offer I am delighted with. Without your grit and determination, and a keen eye to see when a once-in-a-career fit comes along, I wouldn't be starting my new role in 2021. Thank you; I cannot put into words how grateful I am.

I was recently placed at a top firm by Penny and would have no hesitation in recommending her. I got in touch with Penny in a difficult NQ market and she really took the time to understand what I wanted to do.

She was easily approachable and personable and always on hand if you needed advice. She has a great insight into the legal market and excellent contacts in the sector.

Penny is extremely pro-active and tailors her advice to suit your requirements. I cannot thanks Penny enough for her hard work in my search for an NQ job.

Penny was amazing from start to finish. She contacted me about an opportunity on the Tuesday and by Friday I had been offered the role. She was very friendly, super helpful and supported me all the way following up after the interview and after the verbal offer had been made. Highly recommend Penny.
