Rachel Birkinshaw
Principal Consultant
Who am I and what can I do for you?

What team are you part of, and what is the best thing about your team?
The best thing about the private practice team in Leeds is working with people who also care about providing a quality service to clients and candidates and making sure this is paramount in everything we do
5 words that describe me?
Hard-working, organised, friendly, loyal and considerate.
What else should you know about me?
My legal career started when I joined Hamers Solicitors, in Hessle, as a Trainee Solicitor. I moved to Rollits to finish the final three months of my training contract before qualifying into the Commercial Property team. Realising that Commercial Property was not for me, I moved to Leeds after I secured a job at Eversheds in their Banking team. I spent two years at Eversheds before deciding that I wanted to be doing a job which was more about people and less about drafting long documents. After much thought and consideration, I decided to take up the fresh challenge of legal recruitment and joined the private practice team at Sacco Mann.
- Likes: Holidays in the sun, exercising and spending time with my family and my dog Reggie
- Dislikes: Red meat, rudeness and photos of myself
- If you weren’t in this career, what else would you do and why? Good question! Perhaps a role in the fitness industry so that I could exercise and work at the same time.

Opening new doors for Candidates
Our knowledge of the market helps us spot gaps and discover new opportunities.
Rachel was very helpful and informative throughout the whole recruitment process in me securing my new role. I didn’t feel like I was talking to 'another agency' but actually felt like I was being listened to when telling her what I was looking for in a new role. I would highly recommend Sacco Mann following my experience in securing my new role.
I had previously used Sacco Mann so I had total confidence in them to find the perfect role for me. The service received from Rachel Birkinshaw in particular at Sacco Mann was absolutely first class. Rachel guided me through every step of the way. Rachel and was extremely pro active and supportive throughout and the whole process was seamless. I would certainly recommend Rachel and Sacco Mann
When I recently found myself unexpectedly displaced after a long period of service at my previous firm I knew I had to move quickly to find something else. I chanced upon Sacco Mann in Indeed. Having placed a call and provided my CV I was blown away. A number of different experts were in touch - all of whom using their contacts to help. Rachel was able to not only find a role but pretty much match make me with a firm that was a perfect fit. Rachel helped me through the process and I remain so very thankful. Amazing service and I would readily recommend to anyone.
