Lorraine Terry was absolutely superb in the months leading up to my offer. She was considerate, kind, patient and always at the end of the phone. I couldn’t have secured the offer without her and went the extra mile to ensure that the financial package met my needs. Thank you so much Lorraine, you are a credit to Douglas Scott and I am so grateful for the support you showed me.

Aqsa Shafi has a fantastic understanding of the Scottish legal market. She has great connections and knows which firms are looking even before jobs are posted. Having used a few recruiters this time around, I can confidently say, Aqsa knocked it out of the park! She found a perfect match for me - a role that wasn’t advertised yet and no other recruiter knew of. Aqsa prepared me very well for the interviews, always kept me in the loop on progress, and was a joy to work with. I am so grateful to her! I can highly recommend Aqsa Shafi at Douglas Scott!

I was contacted by Gareth Hibbert on LinkedIn to see if I would be interested in a chat about positions available. I had no expectations but was open to discussions. I sent my CV to Gareth, who then discussed an available position with me over the phone. He sent my CV off and arranged an interview for the next week. He was helpful in assisting with rearranging due to childcare and then helped to arrange my second interview quickly. Gareth was available every step of the way and updated me as much as possible, he was always open to answering and questions I had too. He called to update me even when there was no update from the employer and then called with great news of a job offer late on a Friday afternoon. He even responded to a text message from the employer at 8pm, which shows his commitment to his role!
I would highly recommend Gareth following my experience with him.

I recently used Gareth Hibbert through Douglas Scott Recruitment.
Gareth’s service has been exceptional. From sending my CV for a role, to being called within an hour and then having an interview set up in the next week. Gareth has called me at every stage of the interview process and kept me updated at every key stage.
He has been nothing but supportive, helpful and informative. I would recommend using Gareth to everyone I know!

Tom was brilliant throughout my time applying and interviewing for my current role!
It felt like he made every effort to make sure I was well prepared for my interviews and he never failed to keep me updated with everything as soon as he could. I would also like to commend Tom on his communication style, it never felt like he was applying any pressure to accept the role he had found for me. He always had my best interests in mind, which you don't always encounter with recruiters.
I would not hesitate to recommend both Tom and Douglas Scott to anyone in the legal sector!
