Karolina’s testimonials
Chloe Gal | GC | Head of Legal and Compliance
“I can’t recommend Karolina enough if you are a candidate or a company looking for / to recruit into a senior legal position. Karolina grasped exactly the sort of role I wanted from our first conversation and she didn’t pepper me with unsuitable roles like most recruiters do. Karolina managed to place me into the perfect role within a few weeks of working together and was incredibly helpful throughout the process, both in terms of moral support and assisting with the negotiations. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed working with her!”
Natalia Ulanovskaya | Senior Derivatives Lawyer
“Working with Karolina has been an exceptional experience from start to finish. Her prompt responses and dedicated assistance throughout the interview process were invaluable. Thanks to her expertise and guidance, I was able to secure a rewarding position as a senior derivatives lawyer in a very short period of time. I highly recommend Karlina for her professionalism, support, and commitment to helping candidates find their perfect fit in the legal field.”
Brightwell | Senior Markets Lawyer
“Karolina inspired full confidence from the start; she took the time to really understand the brief and explore the skill sets and personal attributes that would be relevant to the role and candidate search. This combined with her excellent knowledge of the financial services market resulted in a high-quality shortlist, and she invested time at every stage of the interview process to get feedback and further hone the search. My team is quite a unique one, covering a broad range of very technical areas, so the candidate pool is already a small one – but Karolina found a brilliant candidate who was exactly the right fit for our team and organisation. I couldn’t be more pleased and would highly recommend Karolina – she provided fantastic, efficient and thoughtful support from start to finish”

Ada Gravremoglu | Legal Counsel
“I recently had the pleasure of working with Karolina on securing a new role, and I couldn’t be more impressed with her professionalism and dedication.
From our very first interview, Karolina was incredibly meticulous, carefully assessing whether the role was the right fit for both myself and the company. The information she provided about the company and the role, as well as how she represented me to the employer, was thorough and incredibly helpful. Without a doubt, one of the key qualities that sets her apart from other recruitment consultants is her deep understanding of the role, the company, the market and the candidate.
Her responsiveness and frequent updates at every step ensured that the entire process was seamless. Karolina is also extremely hardworking and truly goes above and beyond– she even worked on my placement during her own time off!
On top of her professionalism, she was incredibly supportive and friendly throughout, turning what could have been a stressful process into a genuinely positive experience. For that, I am deeply grateful.
With her expertise, personal touch and diligence in her work, she has truly raised the bar for recruitment consultants, and I am so fortunate to have had her support during this journey.”
