Hear what people say about us.

Genuinely delighted with the outcome in being able to appoint someone of such high calibre. Our Planning team had been stretched and we needed to strengthen our team at a senior level. Fluid had a very proactive approach in sourcing for us to great effect

Team Leader, Planning, Local Council

Eden at Fluid Legal made the job hunt from the UK stress free. He knew the market, gave a personal service and helped me find a great role.

From the outset, Tom took the time to understand our requirements and after an extensive search, he came up with an impressive shortlist for us to discuss and debate. Tom regularly touched base to bounce ideas and check alignment with our expectations.

General Manager, Electrical Distribution Network

Tom has always been a very inquisitive recruiter! He is not your traditional “take the brief from the client and run with it” recruiter. He wants to understand the company, the culture and really invests in the company he is recruiting for.

Jason has been super from start to finish. Not only did he go above and beyond when we asked for a last-minute temp, but he found us outstanding talent. When you do recruitment day in and day out, it makes a huge difference to have someone like Jason who

Holly assured and supported me every step of the way, and was always willing to answer my questions. She kept me updated through all steps of the recruitment process and always gave me timely feedback. Because of her, I landed my dream job.

Nice and easy experience. Found a job much quicker than expected at a great quality firm. Great communication throughout.
