Testimonials

"I recently had the privilege of working with Bella who successfully helped me secure a role in London during what can only be described as a challenging economic climate for lawyers attempting to make an international move. From the outset, she demonstrated an unwavering commitment to ensuring not only the success of my job search but also my peace of mind throughout the process. She invested her time in meticulously guiding me through potential questions and scenarios, ensuring I was well-equipped to shine during the interview. Her dedication to my success was palpable, and it made all the difference in my performance. If you're trying to navigate the competitive job market, I cannot recommend Bella highly enough!" - Associate (Private Equity) - Prestigious UK Firm

"I cannot speak highly enough of my experience working with Bella. She was sharp, professional and always in my corner throughout the process of looking for a role overseas. Bella had great strategic insights into the roles I should be looking at and how I could be best positioned for them. I always valued and trusted her input on next steps, but equally never felt pressured to apply for a position that I didn't feel was the best possible fit for me. Working with Bella I felt like I had a genuine partner in the process and had secured a role with my top preference firm within two months of starting to apply for jobs. I have recommended Bella to everyone I know who has been looking to secure a position at a US law firm." - Associate (Private Equity) - Elite US Firm

"Working with Bella has been transformative for my career. For nearly a year, I searched for opportunities through various recruiters without success. Bella quickly identified a new role that was an excellent match for my career path and personal interests. With her guidance, I landed a fantastic job in just one month! Bella was genuinely committed to my success. She thoroughly understood my goals and made sure I was fully prepared for each step of the process. Her exceptional responsiveness and proactive communication turned what could have been a stressful experience into a seamless journey. " - Associate (Investment Funds)
