I couldn't be more grateful to Norah for how she has guided me through this move - I don't think I would have had the confidence to do it without her.

She took time to build a relationship, getting to know me over a long period, understanding my drivers and fears, and helping me to understand the market and opportunities.

Norah managed the process at a pace which was comfortable for me, never pushed and was mega patient with me throughout. The service which she provides is truly unique and I can't recommend her highly enough to other candidates!

When I first spoke with Norah about the possibility of moving, she advised me that it was too early and encouraged me to wait. No other recruiter had ever said that to me before—but she was absolutely right. In that moment, I realised her honesty set her apart, and that turning me away was the clearest sign I could trust her.

Norah is a pleasure to work with: thoughtful, pragmatic, and deeply knowledgeable about the market. She listens, but she also challenges in all the right ways. Above all, she is honest and committed, making her an invaluable ally to have by your side when making a move!

“I first met Norah when I was at rock bottom, professionally. From day one, I felt that she was on my side. My fight was her fight. She has such empathy and genuinely cares about her clients. She gave me so much of her time, it felt like I was her only client (I wasn’t). At all times counsellor, sympathetic ear and shoulder to cry on, cheerleader and visionary, Norah worked her extensive network tirelessly to help me decide on my next move and she didn’t stop until I found it.”

“As anyone who has moved firms as a partner will know, it is not something you undertake lightly, and it is certainly not for the faint hearted.

“When I talk about you as a recruiter, it feels like the term completely undersells you. You’ve been an agony aunt, a ray of sunshine and a voice of reason. Most importantly for me, I’ve been able to be 100% open with you about being a single mother and a corporate partner”

“I worked with Norah around the time of my recent move. I had been with my firm for almost 20 years so it was a very difficult decision to make. Norah was instrumental in helping me to reach the decision. I believe that the motivators for women contemplating making a move can be very different to those for a male partner. Norah was very sensitive to this and to my concerns. She understood things from my perspective.”
