Michelle was the only recruiter I have met to this day willing to invest the time, skill and effort to translate my professional experience into transferable skills recognised and valued by law firms across borders and practice areas. Even at times when no suitable roles existed, Michelle has been able to create demand for my experience and skills by deploying her tremendous in-depth knowledge of the market and extremely strong network. Michelle has made complex and lengthy hiring processes much more manageable and has always kept me informed along the way, anticipating potential blocks and proactively suggesting ways to address them. Among the distinguishing elements of Michelle’s approach, I would highlight her openness and refreshing candour, as well as her constant focus on long-term career planning.

I have been on both sides of the Marsden fence – as the hirer and as a candidate. The professional, knowledgeable and savvy services I received when hiring meant there was only one place I would go as a candidate.  As a candidate, Michelle looked after me personally.  She was a consummate professional. I always felt that my interests were fully protected and the aim was to find me the right home in two jurisdictions that matched my professional interests as well as providing a dynamic career opportunity. I enjoyed all of my dealings with Michelle and I had fantastic support from other senior consultants both within London and internationally when it was needed.  I cannot recommend Michelle and her colleagues highly enough whatever side of the fence you find yourself on.
