Rachael Mann
Director
Who am I and what can I do for you?
I advise Solicitors at all stages of their career from Qualification through to Equity Partnership. I help Law Firms grow strategically and have also launched Leeds offices for various firms who have moved into the region. One of the advantages 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 also know how I work and trust my opinion. This is of huge benefit to both clients and candidates.
What team are you part of, and what is the best thing about your team?
I’m part of the Private Practice team in Leeds and my primary focus is the Leeds market. We have a great team, we work hard but also have fun and I love that we work as a genuine team, genuinely supporting each other and putting clients and candidates first which improves the service we offer.
5 words that describe me?
Calm, tenacious, caring, outgoing, hard-working
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 interesting. Outside of work, I'm married, have two boys who are now more or less independent ( are kids ever?) so I can indulge my love of Mallorca and travel without the restrictions of term times.
- Favourite destination Mallorca
- Hobbies I love socialising, which usually involves some form of drinking or eating but could equally mean supporting the (once) mighty Leeds Rhinos, going to gigs or following Formula One which, when I am lucky / organised, I manage to combine with my love of travelling. I am also lucky to own a large wine fridge and enjoy ‘collecting’ wine as well as visiting vineyards.
Rachael provided me with outstanding support throughout my search for a Newly Qualified role and I am delighted with my next move to Eversheds Sutherland. She really took the time to understand my personal, academic and professional background and she did a fantastic job at finding me opportunities matching my long-term goals and which definitely suited my character. I was impressed by her knowledge of the law firms I was applying for and I always felt I had all the information I needed before an interview. Her team always responded very quickly to my queries and I received regular updates. Rachael could see beyond the possibilities I had in mind and this is where I found her very resourceful and competent. I highly recommend Rachael her team.
Rachael was so supportive throughout my time looking for NQ roles and really took the time to get to know me and what I wanted. All of the team that I dealt with at Sacco Mann were helpful and responsive. I would highly recommend Rachael to anyone looking for a new role within the legal sector
I have worked with Rachael for many years now and she has placed me in in 3 of my last 4 jobs. There is a reason I keep going back to her and equally a reason that she keeps placing me. Rachael understands me and what I am looking for, she has taken time to learn about me as an individual, not just a candidate on the system. She also has arguably the best market knowledge of any recruiter in Leeds, in terms of individuals, teams and firms. As a result her and her team are able to match individuals and firms up to suit both parties long term rather than looking for a quick result so they can get earn fees on the appointment! Sacco Mann appear to be appointed on every job in the city so there seems little point in registering with any other recruiter, I can not recommend Rachael and her team highly enough.
