In-House

Marsden, and Karen Glass in particular, came highly recommended by a former colleague. From the very first conversation to our chosen candidate accepting it could not have been a better process. It was clear from the get go that Marsden had a deep network of General Counsels and real insight into what it takes to be successful in an organisation like ours. We were really impressed by the long list, Karen worked with us to get to an excellent short list, supported us through the interview process and steered us through our chosen candidate accepting our offer. We could not have asked for better support.

I was really impressed from day one by Angela's commitment, enthusiasm and professionalism. The quality of the international candidates she presented was superior and further supported by the helpful personality profiles, and met exactly our requirements. Angela has excellent knowledge of the international legal market, is very well connected and she is reliable and easy to work with. We now have the right candidate on board, and I would have no hesitation in recommending or using Angela to find me a candidate if and when I want to recruit again.

Karen is an outstanding recruitment partner. She successfully led and filled our company’s CLO opening. Every candidate I spoke with said their experience working with her was exceptional. The time, energy and thoughtfulness as well as her deep knowledge and understanding of the skills required for the role made all the difference. I will use Karen for any legal searches in the future and highly recommend Karen and Marsden.

Excellent service from the Marsden team on some of the most complicated global and senior searches we have attempted for our legal team which will act as a catalyst for fundamental change and for enhancing our legal team globally.

Kate is a consummate professional. She listened carefully and was really responsive and helpful in her suggestions regarding the best approach. She understood what we needed and found an ideal candidate who has proven to be a really great fit for our organisation.

Sarita has been a great a recruitment partner. She understands the brief very quickly and produces high quality candidates in a timely manner, often resulting in placement.

I have worked with Karen over a number of years, and the key skill she has as a recruiter is a desire and a capability to understand the brief and translate that into producing meaningful shortlists and advice on candidates. This is in my experience a skill that all recruiters and headhunters claim, but few can deliver on: Karen does so in spades. Besides that she is a pleasure to work with and endlessly enthusiastic, which is of course a huge bonus!

Karen listens to her clients very carefully and gains a solid understanding of what they are seeking to achieve. She then combines this with a deep knowledge of the legal market, and very careful assessments of potential candidates. She is also skilled at working with both sides to negotiate a package once the right candidate has been found. It is fair to say she is one of the best in the business that I have worked with in the past few decades.

Marsden has delivered across all levels in our business over the last five years, from legal counsel up to senior vice president. They have helped us to diversify our business both globally and locally, completing some of the most complex senior searches we have ever undertaken.
