Testimonials

Marsden are professionals. They take the time to get to know what you are looking for. They helped me really hone my CV and prepare for interviews. They weren’t out to just make a quick buck from an easy placement, but helped me to understand the process and ensure I got the job I wanted.

Christine — Placed by Marsden International into a London 'Magic Circle' firm

Marsden International worked hard to place me in a top-tier London law firm. I always appreciated the recruiters’ attentiveness and candour in their dealings with me during the recruitment process. The relationship does not end on placement as Marsden still rings me up to see how things are going. A year later, I am working on challenging and stimulating transactions in one of the foremost financial centres of the world, and I will always be grateful to Marsden International for this exciting opportunity.

What I appreciated most about Marsden was their honest approach in dealing with their clients. The entire placement process, from a candidate's perspective, was explained to me from my first contact with Marsden. Furthermore, Marsden, while keeping my preferences and career goals in mind, helped me to better market myself based on current demands in the region where I wanted to go. Thanks to Marsden's help, I am now exactly where I wanted to be six months ago – in Dubai, working at an international UK firm, doing mainly contentious work.

Karie — Placed by Marsden International into a top international law firm in Dubai

I have been working with Marsden International for a few years, through which they placed me from Toronto to London and London to Dubai. Aside from its global presence and international connections with top-tier firms, what distinguishes Marsden is its personalised relationships with the candidates and firms, and superior knowledge of the market and firm needs.

Marsden is in a league of its own among legal recruiting agencies because it keeps close ties with the firms it works with to be current on their needs and advance candidates accordingly. Not only is Marsden current with firm needs, it provides recruitment support to candidates to ensure that they market themselves effectively. My recruitment success and offers were due in large part to Marsden’s rigorous feedback.

Also, the Marsden team listens well and works diligently to help candidates achieve what they want. Even after I had my offer, Marsden kept in touch with me to connect me with candidates that they had placed abroad and to assist me with visa issues if needed. Marsden offers a comprehensive service that is not merely about recruitment, but rather about the relationships, marketing, administrative, and issues that are intrinsic to a candidate’s successful recruitment experience. I have been so impressed with the firm that I constantly refer my friends and colleagues around the world to Sarah Marsden and her associates.

Changing career as well as continents can be a very stressful experience, with important decisions for your future having to be made. Being given advice from a person whom you genuinely trust and is able to set aside all other interests to better focus on yours is crucial, whilst not easy to obtain. Marsden International has lived up to the highest possible expectations in that regard, providing straight and honest answers to the questions I had. Looking back, trusting them was the right decision and we still exchange on my career development every once in a while, as a good insightful piece of professional advice can never hurt, whatever the situation one is facing.

Wiz — Placed by Marsden International into a 'top-tier' international law firm in Dubai.

I approached Marsden International to assist me in a move from a top-tier Australian law firm into the Canadian legal industry. Unlike other international legal recruitment firms, Marsden had real knowledge of the Canadian legal market, which was integral to ensuring that I found the right position for my experience and expertise. During the interview process, my recruiter was always available to answer my questions and often arranged teleconferences with Marsden's Toronto office so that I could talk to people with 'on-the-ground' experience with the local legal market. Despite my intensive working hours, Marsden always fitted in around my schedule and helped manage various relationships with potential firms, allowing me time to make an informed decision. Thanks to Marsden, I am about to begin working at one of the most prestigious national law firms in Canada, on some of the largest transactional work in North America. I would have no hesitation in recommending Marsden International to anyone looking to be placed in a law firm locally or overseas.
