Chloe has helped me find and secure a desired position in a stellar firm and has guided me every step of the way. She has been very supportive and prompt with any answers to my questions. I would definitely recommend her services if you are looking for a new role.Contact Chloe
Sophie was super efficient and her attention to detail was great. She contacted me about potential roles very quickly after my initial enquiry and got me a position in the area of law that I wanted to go into. She handled the whole process seamlessly and was great when it came to any questions I had or any worries. Her communication was great, and she responded to emails and texts extremely quickly, providing peace of mind during the process. I cannot recommend her enough and I am super excited to start in my new role in September. Thank you Sophie!Contact Sophie
I really enjoyed working with James. He was very personable and professional. He knew the market really well, followed up with the firms I was interested in and kept me up to date. We had very honest conversations about which options would be the best for me. I would highly recommend James.Contact James
Clare is the best recruiter I've worked with and I don't say that lightly. I've worked with a number of recruiters over the years for roles, but none have been as kind, understanding and, frankly, human as Clare. With other companies I have so often felt pressured, feared them or had to desperately convince recruiters to be believe in my ability and potential. Clare stands apart from them. She has, at every step, been supportive, kind, understanding, human, encouraging and above all professional. I was never left in the dark, and she was always easy to reach and talk to. Working with her on a recent role has felt more like a collaboration and has been a really positive experience. I look forward to working with her and the team in the future, and would recommend her whole heartedly.Meet The Team
I signed up with Sacco Mann who I knew had a great reputation in the legal recruitment market. I dealt with Helen who was absolutely amazing.

I cannot thank her enough for her communication and understanding throughout this stressful process which she made easier for me. I am very grateful. Thank you Helen you are a credit to the Sacco Mann.Contact Helen
I cannot recommend this company and specifically Vicky Cavendish enough. In what was a completely new experience for me, Vicky’s helpfulness, positivity and all round good humour has been invaluable. I felt supported throughout the whole process and via her detailed knowledge of the legal sector and many contacts, have secured a position with a prestigious national company. Thank you so very much!Contact Vicky

The understanding, experience and receptiveness of Steve Shakespeare in identifying candidates to suit our non- standard requirements for a role, which is remote to us, was very evident throughout the recruitment process. He knows his stuff! Would definitely recommend in the future. The service was excellent. The speed with which suitable and relevant candidates were brought to us and the effective actioning of feedback was very good.Contact Steve
After being in contact with multiple recruiters for the first time in my career, I was left astounded by the differences in the service received from Catherine, who was sapient, attentive, and careful to listen to my needs and expectations for any new potential role. She demonstrated, amongst other things, a refreshing candour that I have not seen in my encounters with other recruiters. I will be strongly recommending her to anyone else who needs recruitment services in the future.Contact Catherine
I believe Amy is a very enthusiastic, honest and approachable Consultant and has really helped me in my journey to finding a suitable professional role according to my needs and circumstances. I will always recommend Amy to all my friends and family.Contact Amy
Catherine is a true professional, extremely committed and knowledgeable. She manages to turn the recruitment process into a pleasant experience taking the pressure away from the candidate allowing them to focus completely on the opportunities at hand. In addition, Catherine is incredibly well networked, takes the time to understand both organisational culture and the nuances of specific roles and is extremely diligent in researching, selecting and recommending candidates.

Sacco Mann have placed me at two award winning law firms within the last 12 months. The service provided by Nadine has been excellent and I will continue to recommend Sacco Mann to my friends looking for new opportunitiesContact Nadine
I have known Rachael for a couple of years now and can honestly say that her knowledge of and experience in dealing with the law firms in Leeds is second to none. She is personable, open and always professional. What I really valued about dealing with Rachael above everything else was her honesty and integrity. Rachael is the only legal recruitment consultant I have ever dealt with who has been prepared to tell me when she didn't think a particular role was the right one for me. She is patient and keeps the interests of her client at the forefront of her mind, which is a rather unique quality in my opinion. I would not hesitate in recommending Rachael to othersContact Rachael
Chloe has been great! Placed a candidate within 1 month of being briefed which created an excellent first impression for Sacco Mann. She has been attentive, quick to respond, and understood the candidate profile fully.Contact Chloe
I would like to thank Sacco Mann’s team for trying so hard to find me a job during this pandemic and made the impossible happen. Thank you for all your hard work and trying to find me a job within my field. Thanks again to the best team, very friendly and professional at the same time. Mostly thanks to Helen for trying so hard to secure me a position.Contact Helen
I had previously never had good experiences with recruitment agents but Sacco Mann, in particular Rachael Mann, came highly recommended. I could not have wished for anyone more personable and dedicated than Rachael, she and her colleagues at Sacco Mann have totally changed my perception of recruitment agents. Rachael and her team enabled me to stay positive during a very difficult and trying time; their professionalism, optimism and determination is second to none. I know that Rachael and her team, sensibly, only presented me for roles which they felt would suit my personality as well as my experience, thereby strengthening my chances of success. This is so different from the majority of other recruitment agents I have come across. I will always be grateful to Rachael and the team at Sacco Mann in both Leeds and Manchester for their unfaltering support and dedication to helping me back into working life. I would only ever recommend Sacco Mann to my fellow professionals and would undoubtedly turn to them is I ever needed to recruit.Contact Rachael
Being a Solicitor looking for a new role, especially in a pandemic, was at first a daunting prospect but Sophie's experience in the legal recruitment field has been invaluable throughout my job search. From the outset, she understood what I was looking for and discussed in detail a range of opportunities. After having multiple interviews and offers, Sophie never pressured me to accept a position which I am very grateful for as this led me to secure my ideal role. I cannot thank Sophie enough for the assistance she has provided throughout my job search, I will certainly be recommending her to my peers who are looking for a job move in the future.Contact Sophie
James has been a consummate professional, diligent, pro-active, great industry insight and with a great balance of knowing when to push and when to hold back. Many thanks for all your help.Contact James
Thank you so much for being so proactive, genuinely interested in matching me to a role, kind, efficient, and getting the job done. Since my interview for my training contract 20 plus years ago, I haven’t had an interview for a job, so it was all new, but you were all great when I wobbled my way through, and your confidence in me spurred me on upon a giddy tide of ‘second interview’ offers. I shall always recommend Sacco Mann to anyone I hear is either looking for an employee or employees taking tentative steps towards new roles due to the lovely personal but professional way you helped me, once again, many many thanks.Contact Leona
