  • I had a brilliant experience working with James. He took a great deal of time to understand my experience and what I was looking for in my next role, coupled with great knowledge of the firms I was applying to. James was always available by phone and email and quick to keep me updated. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend James in future.

  • I had an absolutely fantastic experience working with James at Wilson Mannion. From the very first contact, the level of service and professionalism was exceptional. What really stood out to me was: Outstanding Communication: James kept me informed every single step of the way. I was never left guessing about the status of my application, and his updates were always prompt and transparent. Expert Guidance: The interview preparation and insights he provided were invaluable, giving me the confidence I needed to succeed. Genuine Support: Unlike standard agencies, James takes a personalized approach. He genuinely cares about alignment for both the candidate and the employer, making the entire process stress-free and seamless. Thanks to his dedication, I’ve just secured an exciting new role at a great company. If you are looking for a recruitment partner who goes above and beyond, I cannot recommend James and the team at Wilson Mannion highly enough!

  • It has been a pleasure to work with James. Very cool, calm and collective. He tailors his search according to what your needs are rather than just find a position for you and gets his job done. I haven’t been in touch with a recruiter for nearly 7 years and this experience has been one that boosted my confidence. Well done on the work you’re putting in!

  • I had a great experience working with James Wilson. They were professional, approachable and kept me updated throughout the process.

  • After a speculative application for a job I found on Indeed, James got in touch and took the time to understand what would genuinely suit me. He put an application in for a role he had on his books that same day. I start that job next week, and I can honestly say that without James taking the time to speak with me, motivating me for the interview, and keeping me proactively updated at every stage, it wouldn’t have happened. Some recruiters just recruit. James makes you feel like he’s actually working for you - to find the right role and the right fit.

  • What's made it very easy for us to work with James is that he's been able to follow the brief. We've simply set a task, explain what we want to happen, and he's made it happen. What more could you want?

    Martin Smith, Principal Solicitor, Vienna Kang Advocates

  • The volume of numbers that you've delivered, combined with the quality, is definitely up there in the top percentiles of what our partners have done this year.

    Matt Darwell, Talent Attraction Partner, Movera

  • You listened to what the needs were, what your client, being us, needed, and what we were looking for in the candidates. I think that is probably one of the main reasons you were successful helping us with this project.

    Mari Escalona, Simply Conveyancing

  • James recently filled a niche vacancy within the firm pulling out all the stops to do this quickly and efficiently. James has excellent communication skills, was always available to talk to and kept us informed of progress every step of the way.

What do lawyers say?

  • James helped me secure the position which would end up changing my life! Having been a Paralegal for a few years, James was pro-active and very supportive in helping me obtain a training contract. He understood my needs and was able to achieve such a result during difficult and unprecedented times. His perseverance and motivation proved he had my best interests at heart. Thank you for making my dream a reality.

    Trainee Solicitor

  • James really helped me find my perfect role. My situation was a unique one that was probably not the easiest to place but James really rose to the occasion. He listens to your needs and works with you to find a role that is suitable. I couldn't recommend him enough!

    Litigation Solicitor

  • Had an awesome experience James, genuinely felt James had my best interests in mind at all times! James suggested a role a re-train role in a field I would have never have contemplated. James went the extra mile and got the HR and Partner to consider me for a position I lacked significant prior experience in. He secured me an interview and was awesome in helping prep! James was then able to go back and negotiate my offer and successfully secured the salary I wanted. I couldn't recommend James enough for someone looking to take their next steps in their legal career!

    Planning Solicitor

  • I received a phonecall to discuss what I was looking for which enabled a tailored list of recruiting employers suitable to my requirements to be provided and therefore I was able to focus on just a couple of firms rather than just fire my CV out to everyone and anyone. James was always very quick to get back to me and the firm he thought was the best fit for me was in fact the same firm I felt suited me too and the firm I have accepted an offer of employment with. Very professional, discreet and no pressure applied. I am excited to start my new job. Thank you.

    Property Solicitor

  • Absolutely wonderful service provided by Wilson Mannion Recruitment. I have recently accepted a wonderful offer from a law firm, which I feel frankly would not have been achieved it was not for the assistance and sheer professionalism shown by James Wilson throughout the entire process. Thank you James for a job well done

    Police Station Representative

  • James did such an amazing job. I was disheartened to learn that I was being made redundant within only a short time of starting at a new firm. He listened to exactly what I was looking for, kept in touch with me throughout the entire process and helped me prepare for the interviews. I could not be more pleased to find a position with a really good company and can't wait to start.

    Private Client Solicitor

  • I had a brilliant service from James and have accepted a new position that is a great fit for me. James was professional and went above and beyond to support me at every stage through the process. I would definitely recommend Wilson Mannion. Thank you for all your assistance.
