We are the antithesis of conventional recruitment companies. No sales targets, no business-speak, no hardball, no offices or office politics (!) and no stress to get placements, although obviously they do help us keep afloat.. Just hard work coupled with experience and knowledge and the creation of personal relationships with locums and clients alike.
We are particularly interested in someone to assist us with the central London market. If you are currently working in recruitment but fed up with the usual sales nonsense or the need to commute anywhere or work rigid/long hours, get in touch with our Managing Director, Jonathan Fagan, at jbfagan@ten-percent.co.uk, or message him via LinkedIn.
…still with us are the 3 senior property and private client locums you placed with us – all three excellent and long term- many thanks.
Long term locum placement
Can I say that I have enjoyed working with Interim Lawyers and Ten Percent Legal over the last couple of years, your no nonsense, keep it simple approach is such a refreshing change from other agencies I have used.
No Nonsense Recruitment
I have recommended you and said you were the agent to approach. I hope that was the correct procedure. Somebody has to say how valued you are by small firms.
Recommendation
Thank you for your assistance and I will use you again when the need arises, I find you a very efficient and friendly company.

For locums we use Jonathan Fagan at Interim Lawyers. He’s a nice, helpful guy and his fees aren’t too bad (for an agent!)
UK Law firm
I was a bit apprehensive at first when you initially emailed me as I thought this would be another generic email and I have unfortunately previously had some poor experiences with recruiters. That is not to say that all recruiters out there are the same but I can honestly say WITHOUT A DOUBT you have been the most pleasant recruiter I have dealt with; very efficient and found me the ideal role very quickly. This is testament to your capabilities and I am deeply grateful for this opportunity. Thank you so much once again for your efforts Emma.
