Glass

"Glass Vantage is different from the others in the market. I dealt with two consultants at Glass Vantage who, between them, were always around when I needed them. The team acted with the utmost integrity and only gave informed and accurate advice both on firms that they were representing me to and on other firms who I was seeing through another...

"Sonya is a trusted adviser. Her views are always spot on and her empathy with clients and candidates means she is able to match people and firms successfully."  ...

"Sonya [Boxer] stands out in the recruitment market for me because of her focus on the individual not the job. Sonya is the only recruiter I have met who spends time understanding not just what you want to do, but who you are and what you are about. Too many recruiters focus on placing the candidate, whereas Sonya focuses on placing the person....

"Sonya is someone who I have known for a number of years. I met her initially almost six years ago and she has advised me on two moves to date. In fact she moved me to my current firm. The last move I was debating making was to a top tier practice which was offering me a short track to partnership. My firm counter offered me to stay and put a...

"When I moved from Linklaters to BLP in 2006 I turned to Sonya Boxer as the person I wanted to negotiate the deal. I had originally been approached by another agent but I decided I wanted to use Sonya on the change that I regarded as the most important in my career to date. I think it is fair to say that I would not have made the move without...

"I have always been sceptical about using recruiters but working with Sonya Boxer has restored my faith in going to someone for expert advice on your career options. My market is a small one and you tend to know most of the key individuals so honest confidential advice and access to the real decisions makers is key to me. Although Sonya does not...

"from our first meeting, Sonya was knowledgeable and refreshingly honest about how to take the right next steps. She was able to guide me on how to handle interviews from those with juniors partners to those with senior management". ...

"Glass Vantage is filling a much needed gap in the market and providing a superior ‘search’ quality service for lawyers looking proactively at their careers without having to wait to be headhunted"....

"As a senior lawyer investigating the market, it’s easy to feel that recruitment agents are looking after everyone’s interests but yours. In contrast, Sonya’s advice to me has been consistently honest, thorough and right on target. She answered my questions with an obvious depth of knowledge of the market and the people in it...

Glass Consultancy’s clear commitment to placing candidates successfully was a key factor in the excellent service they delivered in my move as a lateral partner hire. Given the significance of the move to me, it was reassuring the extent to which Jonathan Glass and his team spent time to ensure that they understood properly the relevant...

... The use of a search and selection organisation, although increasing at the Bar, was a new departure for us. Jonathan and Clare steered us politely and efficiently through the exercise; took time to try to understand us and our requirements; remained flexible throughout; and adapted with little apparent difficulty to the particular ways we do...

....... out of all the recruitment agencies/ headhunters with which I have dealt I find that you in particular have far more of a grasp of our industry and the internal workings of our business. This in-depth knowledge has assisted you greatly in your selection process which in turn has removed a hefty burden on our part. My experience in the past...

I have to say - that although I was initially extremely sceptical of recruitment and headhunting consultancies (having experienced bi-weekly cold calls since qualification) - I found Glass Consultancy invaluable in finding the right environment for me to progress my career as an individual. They have impressive contacts within my practice area...

... My introduction to you came from another ‘satisfied customer’, whom you placed as a partner with another firm. During my move to Mishcon de Reya I was particularly impressed not only by your in-depth knowledge of your client and the role, set out in your excellent briefing pack, but also by the very high levels of prompt customer...

"We have worked with many recruiters over the years and Glass Consultancy has proved to be one of the best. Your research has consistently been accurate and comprehensive: we have always felt well-informed about the market. But what sets Glass Consultancy further apart from its competitors is your dedication to learning about our firm and using...

"…Jonathan Glass and his colleagues provided us with an excellent service in our search for a key strategic appointment for our team in London. Their research was thorough and gave a really helpful insight into the candidates. Most important, however, is Jonathan Glass’s skill with people, understanding of what makes lawyers tick and his...

 "Glass Consultancy consistently deliver a commercial pragmatic and first class service. Their research documents are excellent and they have taken the time to gain an in-depth knowledge of our firm, a real understanding of our culture and ensure that they key messages are communicated clearly and effectively to prospective lateral hires....

Some of the essential qualities we seek in the research and recruitment firms we use are: - a deep knowledge of the legal market at the highest level which translates into a top quality research document for us to use in assisting our decision making process; - a feeling of trust because we must make them inside to confidential and sensitive...

Jonathan and his team were extremely professional, hard working and knowledgeable. They had carefully researched a number of my projects and clients and their detailed proposal was focused and persuasive. Jonathan’s expertise and honesty was very impressive. Adrian Leavey, new Trowers & Hamlins property partner...

Glass combine professionalism with a personal approach, whilst demonstrating a real depth of knowledge about the legal market.  Jonathan and colleagues have worked closely with us in order to understand our platform and key strategic priorities.  The result has been delivery of high quality lateral partner candidates and a value-add...

"We selected the team at Glass for three key reasons, all of which were happily borne out in practice... The quality of the Glass research product was exceptionally high, showing not only the necessary industry knowledge and an understanding of our practice, but also including really helpful insights, which could only have been obtained through...
