Our approach

Hiring a new member of staff, whether on a temporary, locum or permanent basis, is no longer solely about matching technical skills with a standard job description. What is of equal importance is the cultural or team fit and the ability of the new hire to add value to the firm.

Smith & Manchester understands the legal environment and employs a rigorous selection and interview process to ensure the correct candidate is recruited.

All potential candidates’ qualifications are checked along with their eligibility to work, prior to meeting a member of the recruitment team. A competency based interview follows at which the candidate is evaluated against the technical requirements of the role and also how their past and present personal attributes match those of the hiring firm.

Smith & Manchester has a visible presence on all legal specific job boards however; the reputation for providing a quality service is such, that a large percentage of candidates are sourced by means of referral.

Smith & Manchester is focussed on ensuring a return on investment and providing a specific recruitment service of the highest order.
