Registering with Chase Portland
We believe that you should select a recruiter who you feel comfortable with and who you believe can best represent you. Our ethos is founded on transparency and to this end we have an open door policy which welcomes continual communication. A reputable recruitment consultancy should tell you exactly how they work, what successes they have had and which firms they receive instructions from as well as all other information relevant to your search.
If you do use more than one consultancy, it is essential that you remain in control of your applications, i.e. where your CV is going and for what roles. It is our strict policy at Chase Portland to obtain your consent before sending your CV to any firm. Other consultants may urge you to leave it to their judgement but this is your career and we believe that you should be in control of where your CV is being sent.
You generally only get one chance to apply to a firm so let us help you get it right and ensure that your CV is in front of the right people at the right time.
Searching for a specific role
In certain cases, our 'no name' enquiry approach may provide you with the most comprehensive overview of which firms are on the lookout at your PQE level and in your practice area.
Our long established contacts with Magic Circle firms, US firms and the majority of the leading 100 Law firms, as well as other large to medium sized and niche law firms allows us to make initial enquiries with firms that are of potential interest to you. After speaking to our respective contacts on a no name basis and providing them with an overview of your background we can then report back to confirm which of our clients have expressed an interest in receiving a copy of your full CV.
Rather than waiting for roles to be advertised in the legal press and online let us open the door for you and secure your new job before the opening even comes onto the market.
