I must say that out of all the agencies I have had contact with, you're by far and away the better agent in terms of knowledge, communication, effort and understanding. I'll have no problem recommending you to others in the future. Thanks again.

Report
I have worked with Sacco Mann, and have successfully recruited a number of fee earners through them, over many years and have consequently developed a close, working relationship with them. They understand my business to such an extent that they provide a very effective and professional service, supplying candidates who fit our culture well.

Report
Over the past ten years Sacco Mann has placed me within three great positions (in-house and private practice). They have listened to what my requirements have been and have met them. When I have been recruiting temporary replacement staff they have also been attentive and responsive, putting forward good quality candidates for consideration. Both to a candidate and a recruiter, Sacco Mann provide a professional supportive service.
