Testimonials
"Jon’s genuine investment in my career development really stood out. From the first conversation he understood my objectives and never settled for less and in the end helped secure the opportunity of a lifetime for me for which I am very grateful for. " - Associate (US Firm)
"Sonder has taken the time to get to know us and understand our practice. Their considered approach means they only sends us stellar candidates that align with our specific hiring needs. They have placed six lawyers with us in recent years, and their success rate makes them our go to agency." - Human Resources Assistant (US Law Firm)
"I could not recommend working with Jonathan enough. He took the time to work through my CV with me, provide me with valuable market and interview-specific insights and kept me in the loop throughout the recruitment process, including after I had successfully found a job, for which I couldn’t be more grateful." - Associate (Leveraged Finance)
"Jonathan is truly in a league of his own among recruiters. Jon has a strong professional network and is extremely diligent and thoughtful throughout the process. Before each of my interviews, Jon sent integral interview prep, designed to anticipate the more challenging questions that might be asked. His insights on how best to answer each question were invaluable. Jon not only had a deep understanding of each firm but, crucially, how I might present to them, and he gave me insights into my strengths and weaknesses that I needed to be made aware of. His meticulous attention and genuine care for the candidate continually impress me. I would not consider working with anyone else." - Senior Associate (Litigation)
"At the 4PQE stage of my career, I was content at my current firm but sought advice on development opportunities and the path to partnership. I was aware that my options might narrow by the time I reached 6PQE. Jon provided invaluable insights into the market, outlining how various opportunities could benefit me in the long term. What stood out was his genuine, consultative approach—he was complimentary about the growth prospects at my current firm and never pressured me to make a move. Instead, he gave me all the information I needed to make an informed decision for my career. I couldn’t recommend him more highly." - Associate (Corporate M&A)
