I’ve had the pleasure of working with Stacey Jolliffe

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Stacey Jolliffe for some time now, and having worked with several recruiters in the past, I can confidently say that Stacey is by far the best! From our very first conversation, I knew I was in safe hands.

It was incredibly refreshing to work with someone who genuinely took the time to understand what I was looking for in the next stage of my locum career. Stacey is passionate, professional, and always available when needed. She truly understands both the needs of businesses and the goals of candidates, and she works tirelessly to ensure that everyone is happy.

What really sets Stacey apart is her approach—she never applies pressure. Instead, she encourages and supports you every step of the way. It’s clear that this isn’t just a job to her; she genuinely cares about placing the right people in the right roles, and it shows in everything she does.

Stacey is fantastic at what she does, and I’m incredibly grateful for all her support. It’s an absolute pleasure working with her!

Brilliant experience

I had the pleasure of dealing with Abbie C in relation to a new role - Abbie was fantastic at listening to what I actually wanted from a new position and recommending employers that fit those requirements. With her help I was able to secure a new role a few weeks after getting in touch with her.

Nina was amazing to work with. After a couple of hard months trying to find the information and need and the right recruiter, Nina came at just the right time. She was lovely, knowledgable and thorough in her advice. I couldn’t recommend her more and she always kept me updated and informed.

Amy Turner

Amy Turner - you are an asset to Douglas Scott

I had the privilege of having Amy Turner as my recruiter, she was beyond brilliant, so friendly and helpful, with her support and guidance I received interviews in a short amount of time and I also got the jobs I interviewed for. She was professional, kind and genuinely cared to find me something that fit my preferences.

Amy, I cannot thank you enough for all you have done for me.

Excellent Service, Highly Recommend!

Having used a number of different recruitment services recently, I can confidently say, Douglas Scott is up there!

Ryan McNamara provided an excellent service from the start! It was evident that Ryan had firm knowledge of the legal market, and crucially, great connections, particularly in/around the city of Manchester, which is where I was seeking to relocate to.

Ryan kept me updated throughout the process, and within a short period following submission of my CV, matched me with an opportunity which aligned perfectly with my skills, experience, & overall ambitions! An interview was facilitated promptly, and I was formally offered the position 4 days later, which I accepted with no hesitation!

I am very grateful for all of Ryan’s support and would highly recommend using Douglas Scott!

This agency and Emily are the best around

I've dealt with Emily twice now this past year and she is hands down the best recruiter I've ever dealt with.

She's professional, honest, understanding and patient and always has great opportunities and advice to give.

Highly recommend.
