John is fantastic at what he does. I would not hesitate to recommend him to any law firm looking to add talent to their team. Not only does he take the time to truly understand what it is you are looking for, but he takes the time to ensure each candidate he sends meets those criteria. If you are looking to add to your team with associates, counsel, or even partners, let John and his team work their magic and take the initial step of recruitment off your plate.

I cannot recommend John enough if you are looking to transition to a new position – especially if you are looking to enter into a new market you are not familiar with. John took the time to ensure he had an understanding of what I was looking for and that I had a good understanding of the market I was looking to enter. He helped me secure a great position and was supportive and easy to reach throughout my transition period providing guidance whenever needed.

We were struggling to find a suitable Legal Counsel for our Vancouver office, after months of trying to source the person ourselves Lindsey was recommended to us. She has done a fantastic job transparent and open through the process, gave great guidance about the market. The end result is we have a legal counsel starting with us who fits all of the requirements of the job.

I don’t recommend many recruiters, Lindsey is one of the best I have dealt with, particularly with her depth of knowledge of the Vancouver market.

A great outcome.

John did an amazing job of guiding me through the recruitment process. He acted with a great deal of sensitivity and understanding of my needs and concerns, and made sure I was absolutely happy with the result. He was eager to at least facilitate conversations with other employers during a time when I wasn’t looking to make a transition, and tactfully managed expectations on all sides which set my mind at ease. John is an absolute pleasure to work with!

HHBG has been using Edge Recruitment for several years now and will continue to do so. Lindsey has demonstrated an uncanny ability to understand our firm’s unique personality and values in looking for an appropriately experienced lawyer. Her ability to find recruits that share our approach has been evident in the lawyers we have hired as a result of Lindsey’s efforts. We have also appreciated Lindsey’s frank discussions where a qualified candidate may not be the ideal match for our firm.
