Rachael Mann
Who I am
and what can I do for you?
I recruit within
the Yorkshire region, the majority of my clients being the
commercial firms within the region - ranging from the long
established heavy weights through to brand new start ups (one
Lawyer I found a new role for even helped my client move their
files into their office the week before they launched!).
I advise
Solicitors at all stages of their career from Newly Qualified
through to Equity Partnership. One of the benefits of my
longevity in the market is that many of my historical candidates
are now clients, meaning not only that I know them well but that
they know how I work and trust my opinion. This makes a
massive difference to clients and candidates - a good analogy being
lawyers who advise rather than just quoting the law.
What else should you know about
me?
Where to start without boring
you! My route to recruitment was accidental but quickly
followed graduation. I'm passionate about both the company
and recruitment, I find people really interesting. Out of
work - I'm married, have two young boys that keep me extremely busy
and I'm currently successfully resisting any kind of pets having
had a bad experience with goldfish - life is busy
enough! I love socialising, although this usually
involves some form of drinking or eating. I'm also a very
reluctant 'athlete', people (some who call themselves friends) keep
signing me up to 10k's etc, the latest being a triathlon!
If I wasn't doing what I'm
doing now, what alternative career would I choose and
why?
Author, only a successful one - how
great would it be to work where you like when you like?
Although I do worry it would be lonely, I'd miss working with and
for lots of different people.
Likes: In no particular
order: travel, interiors, food, music, my children (most of the
time), warm weather, good service.
Dislikes: Laziness,
traffic jams, soap operas, bad service.
Five words that
describe me: Calm, tenacious, caring,
outgoing, hard working.
