Founder Lindsey Petherick is extremely knowledgeable about the legal industry and she has her fingers on the pulse of the market. Candidates are always excellent and the experience is invariably positive for all parties”

“John is an outstanding professional that has been able to succeed in a very competitive landscape whilst never losing focus on the more important people issues. His reputation for outstanding service and a genuine “go the extra mile” approach are cornerstones of his success in both the UK and North America.”

“Lindsey helped me to understand the Vancouver job market when I moved from Calgary. She is professional, personable and smart. She listened carefully and asked great questions. Then was able to quickly connect me to opportunities that fit well.”

“Lindsey is a pleasure to work with: she gets results, she is no-nonsense, she is creative, she is responsive and she finds you the people you need. If you hesitate to write a recommendation because you don’t want everyone else to know your secret (as I just have) that’s a sure sign the recommendation is well deserved!”

“HHBG has been using Edge Recruitment for several years now and will continue to do so. Lindsey has demonstrated an uncanny ability to understand our firm’s unique personality and values in looking for an appropriately experienced lawyer. Her ability to find recruits that share our approach has been evident in the lawyers we have hired as a result of Lindsey’s efforts. We have also appreciated Lindsey’s frank discussions where a qualified candidate may not be the ideal match for our firm.”

“John did an amazing job of guiding me through the recruitment process. He acted with a great deal of sensitivity and understanding of my needs and concerns, and made sure I was absolutely happy with the result. He was eager to at least facilitate conversations with other employers during a time when I wasn’t looking to make a transition, and tactfully managed expectations on all sides which set my mind at ease. John is an absolute pleasure to work with!”

“We were struggling to find a suitable Legal Counsel for our Vancouver office, after months of trying to source the person ourselves Lindsey was recommended to us. She has done a fantastic job transparent and open through the process, gave great guidance about the market. The end result is we have a legal counsel starting with us who fits all of the requirements of the job. I don’t recommend many recruiters, Lindsey is one of the best I have dealt with, particularly with her depth of knowledge of the Vancouver market. A great outcome.”

“I cannot recommend John enough if you are looking to transition to a new position – especially if you are looking to enter into a new market you are not familiar with. John took the time to ensure he had an understanding of what I was looking for and that I had a good understanding of the market I was looking to enter. He helped me secure a great position and was supportive and easy to reach throughout my transition period providing guidance whenever needed.”

“Lindsey is fantastic to work with, diligent and very efficient. I’ve never had things move so quickly and so expeditiously. She’s always contactable, responsive and a great intermediary should you need it. Will definitely recommend!”

“John was a pleasure to work with and understood my needs and goals well.”

“I highly recommend Lindsey for her exceptional professionalism, expertise, and dedication in helping me secure my current position. Her deep understanding of the legal industry, extensive network of contacts, and personalized approach made her an invaluable resource throughout the hiring process.”

“John was an invaluable resource during the lateralling process. He was very knowledge about the Calgary market and well connected within the industry. Would definitely recommend if you are considering a move.”

“I highly recommend Lindsey for anyone considering a change of firm or career. Her high level of professionalism, candour and honesty helped guide me through a challenging and fast paced change of firms. Her knowledge of the legal industry and market trends and personal and genuine approach to the recruitment and hiring process was critical in helping me land. Should you find yourself in need of assistance making a move, I would highly recommend Lindsey”

“John is fantastic at what he does. I would not hesitate to recommend him to any law firm looking to add talent to their team. Not only does he take the time to truly understand what it is you are looking for, but he takes the time to ensure each candidate he sends meets those criteria. If you are looking to add to your team with associates, counsel, or even partners, let John and his team work their magic and take the initial step of recruitment off your plate.”
