I made the move from Melbourne to London. I have known Alex for a number of years in a professional capacity in both London and Australia. I have always found him to be straight talking, responsive and easy to get along with. He knows the London market thoroughly having been a lawyer here and was able to advise me on the firms best suited to my requirements. I have worked with a number of recruiters over the years and Alex stands out as the person who I would always contact first and also refer friends if they're looking for a new job.
I am looking to move from London to Sydney in late 2018. I recently met with Alex in London to discuss my move to Australia at the end of the year. He has an extremely detailed knowledge of the Australian market and having never worked outside of London myself, I had numerous questions which he answered. I feel much better equipped to make my decision on which firms I will apply to. Alex also gave me great general advice on Sydney to make the most out of my time there, which was appreciated! I will definitely be making my job applications through Alex.
