I have known Tony for over 20 year’s following our time at the Bar.
I specifically hired him to work on a number of bespoke projects.
Due to the nature of our work, confidentiality is always key to the work we do and because of this, the briefs we sent him were very strategic and specific.
Tony went to market using his knowledge and large network. He was able to quickly present us with some outstanding candidates. Personality and fit were absolutely essential as we were a new business starting out.
Being authentic is very important to me and his attention to detail coupled with his speed in response and also his advice, gave me the trust and confidence to build my outstanding team.
Guy Hewetson is a sound judge of character and abilities.
His prepared summaries on each of about 20 candidates (for four roles), were invariably spot on. It made the tasks of my interviewing panels much easier than would otherwise have been the case.
We used Guy Hewetson for the recruitment of our Senior Clerk. He demonstrated sensitivity and discretion throughout the process. He took time to understand our needs and his experience and expertise played a major part in achieving a successful outcome.
Guy Hewetson is a high level performer and his knowledge of placement in the legal market is outstanding. I have worked with him for a number of years and his confident, straight forward and warm personality makes the experience a real pleasure.
Guy Hewetson used his considerable experience with perception and sensitivity in assisting us to restructure our senior management and clerking to meet the challenges and opportunities of the modern Bar. We are delighted with the results achieved.
I have sought Guy Hewetson’s advice twice. On one occasion he prevented me from making an error of judgment and on the other he gave me an option I had not considered. He knows the market place very well but more importantly he understands the key to placing professional people correctly. He is conscientious, trustworthy, authentic.
It was a Rolls Royce consultancy service.
Guy Hewetson successfully won the competition to recruit a CEO for the Bar of Northern Ireland.
The process was executed with incredible sensitivity and skill and we were impressed with the calibre of applicant shortlisted.
At such a challenging time for the Bar of Northern Ireland it was imperative for us to secure an exceptional individual to strategise and work tirelessly on behalf of the Bar.
Guy Hewetson demonstrated a unique insight and knowledge of the demands of the modern day profession and steered us to a highly satisfactory outcome.
I have worked with Guy on numerous recruitment exercises recently and would very highly recommend him and his team.
There really is an art to good recruitment and Guy has a rare touch.
He’s never simply “chasing the fee” but invests a huge amount of time in really getting to know his clients and candidates.
He has an extensive network to draw on and is a truly lovely person to work with, which helps enormously and is so refreshing from the employer’s point of view.
From the wonderful new members of our team who have joined through him, I know that candidates feel the same way. An exceptional person all round!
The three senior staff members recruited have collectively enabled my Chambers to effect the meaningful transformation we sought.
Some of the credit for that must go back to the role Guy Hewetson played in getting the right people to interview, and his measured guidance and considered advice throughout the process.
I have known Guy for many years and have always been impressed with his knowledge of the legal market.
He is a pleasure to deal with and keeps everything confidential, essential in this market.
When considering a chambers move with my team, I met with all the major players in the industry. Guy and Tony were our clear preferred choice.
They were authentic in their approach, challenged us when they felt it necessary and ultimately delivered a seamless service. Most importantly they showed complete discretion, which was for us the most important criteria.
Their reputation for being leaders in their field is well deserved and I would not hesitate to recommend them to others.
