Find Exceptional Legal Support Staff — Fast, Local, and Vetted
We help law firms across the North West of England hire top-tier legal secretaries, paralegals, legal PAs, and admin professionals for permanent roles, all thoroughly vetted and ready to deliver.
We cover Manchester, Liverpool, Chester, Preston, Warrington and Beyond.
As a growing business hiring new staff is central to our growth plans. Hiring through the traditional recruitment agency model was proving expensive for us and even more so if hires didn’t work out. We tried to do the hiring ourselves to save that cost but struggled to keep on top of things – the HST Talentflow solution was perfect for us.
