I would thoroughly recommend her to any legal professionals seeking new roles."
Law Firm
"We have run a load of focus groups recently with all our new joiners (across every office) and one major trend was that every person who spoke really highly of the recruitment service they received from their agency had been looked after by Cuff Jones.

Thanks very much for all your team’s work!" Interim Head of Recruitment, International

Banking and Finance Solicitor
"Cuff Jones was recommended to me by an ex-colleague who they had helped secure an associate role at a top firm. I got in touch with them on the back of that recommendation and instantly knew I was dealing with a true professional when, of the several recruiters I was dealing with, they were the only one who requested an initial face-to-face meeting with me at their offices to talk through my background and the type of roles I was looking for. I came away from that meeting assured that Cuff Jones would be able to represent me well. Just as they had done with my ex-colleague, Cuff Jones was able to secure me an associate role at a leading international firm and I have no doubt that their pro-activity and good relationship with the firm were key factors in securing that role. I've already recommended Cuff Jones to several contacts."

His faultless attention to both our needs and following up with the respective firms meant that a new job opportunity was secured in no time and we have been nothing but thoroughly pleased with the result. Jon has stayed in contact with us throughout and I now only recommed him to any friends in the legal sector who are also looking to move."
Corporate Solicitor
"Cuff Jones assisted me with finding a newly qualified solicitor position in a market that was incredibly tough. I dealt with many recruiters before them who all promised the world but never came up with the goods. Cuff Jones acted quickly and professionally and ultimately succeeded where many had failed before her. There are a lot of recruiters out there who give the profession a bad name. Cuff Jones certainly isn't one if them. I highly recommend them."

They have a very good understanding of the legal market both in the UK and Australia. I would highly recommend Cuff Jones to anyone looking to move firms."

Their contacts include everything from magic circle to top U.S. and mid-Atlantic firms to silver circle. You never have to chase them and they are good at making you feel as a top priority - when instructed, they call regularly to give feedback and updates on the market. You definitely get the impression that they have their ear to the ground. Highly recommended."
“Cuff Jones is a fantastic recruitment agency – its consultants favour a proactive, hands-on approach which means that you are never left waiting for responses or having to chase for feedback. Jonathan Cuff is extremely personable and has a deep knowledge of the market. His personal touch means you really get the feeling that he will be going out of his way to find the place that is completely right for you, and not just trying to prod you towards whatever position he can find. He really understands what you are looking for and tailors his approach accordingly. As a junior associate who changed firms on qualification, I cannot recommend Jonathan and Cuff Jones highly enough.”

They do this so well because they know their market inside out. Firms can rely on Cuff Jones for their needs as they provides a personalised service rather than playing a numbers game and wasting people’s time. Cuff Jones is incredibly professional and always follow up diligently with both parties, but do not hound or pressure people as some others in their line of work do. I cannot recommend Cuff Jones highly enough.”

Jonathan is well connected within the industry and he provided me with an individually tailored service.

“Cuff Jones provided invaluable assistance in my job search. They were extremely knowledgeable about the market place, carefully attentive throughout my search and a committed champion of my CV to prospective employers.

I cannot recommend them highly enough.”

“I highly recommend Cuff Jones if you are looking for a job in the legal industry. Their approach is completely different to all the other recruitment firms: straight talking, pro-active and actually listens to what type of job you want and goes out and gets it (cuts out all the sales chat from the likes of other agenices – who are basic). Got me 3 interviews immediately at big firms and am now with a great firm that they matched me with. Complete different class to the rest of the recruitment firms out there – they have a lot to learn. Have recommended them to friends moving forward and will continue to do so.”
