Accountant, Offshore Law Firm 19-Jan-16I left my current job as a management accountant in a US law firm after working there for 14 years, therefore was feeling very nervous about my next career move and very keen to secure a permanent position but the role had to be right and not just any role. This is where I believe Balance and Richard differ from other agencies. Within a week of registering with Balance, Richard informed me that I had successfully received an offer. I believe this is due to Richard's great attention to his client and me and made the perfect match. All through the process Richard strongly communicated with me from my CV being sent, responses, from the client, guidance, support and key information that helped me with both interviews. I have already recommended a friend to Balance Recruitment and I am extremely pleased and thankful I signed with them....
Management Accountant, South East Law Firm 02-Jun-15I received a call from Richard when considering a career move and was instantly put at ease that he knew his market and client he was working for. After the initial conversation about the role and the company I opted to be put forward. I was accepted for an interview and the preparation he gave me, which included direction to some helpful websites, and things to look out for when attending a law firm interview, helped me get the job. I couldn’t more satisfied by the service I have received from Richard, coming from outside the law circle, it’s a tricky one to break, but we did it thanks to his knowledge of the legal accounts market and his connections with the firm, he knew exactly what they were looking for....
Data Controller- Finance Systems, Top 20 Law Firm 31-Mar-15After being placed in a job by John of Balance Recruitment, I can confidently recommend him as an extremely effective Consultant.

Financial Operations Manager, US Law Firm 31-Mar-15Having been very unexpectedly made redundant in the early part of this year and not having been in the job market for nearly ten years I was concerned about finding a job in the current climate. I registered with many agencies, but Richard was the only one that stayed contact with me during the search process, even if there was nothing new to report. Over the years I have known Richard he has spent the time to get to know me personally and therefore only put me forward for roles that were suitable for my skill set and my personality. I would have no hesitation in recommending Richard if you are looking to make a change and I have already referred a number of friends to him....
Credit Controller, Top 100 Law Firm 31-Mar-15I approached the services of Richard and Daniel to help find me a new position after dealing with a couple of badly organised agents. They were both extremely helpful and friendly and made me feel very positive that something would come up for me. They listened to my needs and didn’t bore me any roles that weren’t appropriate and managed to find me my perfect role straight away. Throughout the process I was kept up to date with any feedback and both handled my demanding ways very well! I love my new job and definitely have the expertise of Richard and Daniel to thank. And should I ever need to use a recruitment agent again, I will definitely be going back to them....
eBillings Analyst, Top 20 UK Law Firm 31-Mar-15Balance Recruitment, and in particular Daniel Cumberworth is the best experience I have had with a recruitment agency. Having had a rather unique role within a law firm for some years I was getting frustrated with the inability of other agencies to understand or empathise. Daniel listened very carefully and communicated extremely well. From the start it was obvious that he had an understanding of the e-billing function which is of course still an emerging element of the modern billing process in the legal environment. Daniel was also very supportive before during and after my interview which I found to be of immense help. I have already recommended him to other individuals I know who are in bespoke roles at law firms. Daniel has continued to communicate with me since I accepted my new position, which is something I appreciate a great deal because I am acutely aware of how it contrasts with the attitude of other agencies....
Revenue Controller, Top 50 Law Firm 31-Mar-15Looking for a new job can be a daunting process, but after speaking with Richard for the first time it became clear that he wanted my next career move to be right for me. He listened to all my questions and was always on hand to advise me. The support I received from him made the process so much easier than I could have ever imagined, and thanks to Richard the first role that I went for I got! If I am ever looking for a job again I will definitely be contacting Richard and I would always recommend him to anyone thinking of seeking employment in the Legal sector....
Accounts Assistant, Top 50 Law Firm 31-Mar-15Daniel Cumberworth is one of the best recruitment consultants I have been lucky enough to form a relationship with as a candidate. He is extremely polite, professional and also very efficient. Daniel made sure he kept me regularly updated via email and telephone and always got back to me as quickly as possible with any problems/questions I had. Daniel guided me throughout the whole process, he met with me before my interviews to calm my nerves, prepare me and also offer me advice from his own professional and personal experiences which I found benefited me massively in helping me with my job search and I could not have done it without him. Daniel made me feel extremely confident within myself and thanks to his guidance, support and advice throughout, I have now been successful in finding a permanent position. I would highly recommend the services Balance Recruitment provide to anyone who is job searching and would especially like to mention how fantastic Daniel Cumberworth has been in comparison to other recruitment agencies and would like to thank him personally in helping me find my perfect job role....
Accounts Payable Clerk, International Law Firm 31-Mar-15A few months ago I've made a brave decision to leave a demanding job in Finance, after five years with one of the top City law firms. Next step to get back into the work market was to register with legal recruitment agencies in order to find a suitable job role. Daniel has been very empathetic, he listened to me very carefully and understood where I was coming from because he has also worked in a law firm as a legal cashier, so he knows very well the challenges of the jobs in the legal sector. Daniel made me feel welcome and he secured me a contract role in a moment when I really needed something new. I can recommend his friendly and professional approach; he will meet and exceed your expectations. Compared to the other six recruitment agencies that I've registered with, Balance recruitment stood out right from the beginning by the fact that Daniel is knowledgeable and passionate about his job, connects well with people and obtaining good results is his second nature...
