Kaye Thumpston's Reviews
Client/Candidate
I first worked with Kaye around ten years ago when I was moving my practice from crime to regulation - she was kind, professional and very supportive.
A decade on, I am managing a healthcare defence team and Kaye has been my first port of of call when I have needed to recruit lawyers and paralegals. Kaye is just as brilliant when I was instructing her in recruitment campaigns; she is very communicative, provides good candidate details very quickly and is supportive throughout the process. I have employed a number of eNL candidates and have never been let down.
Thank you!
Client
We found Kaye incredibly helpful from the beginning of the process. She took the time to speak with us about the role, our expectations for candidates, and our organisation as a whole and as a result we felt she understood our needs really well. She was always quick in coming back to us with any questions or responses to our questions, and kept us updated on the recruitment throughout. We were very happy with the standard of candidates she put forward, and feel like we have made a strong appointment. We wouldn’t hesitate to work with Kaye again in the future.

I highly recommend Kaye Thumpston who recently placed me. Throughout the entire process, she has been personable, professional, responsive, supportive and gone above and beyond what was necessary. She has a very good understanding of the sector and ensured that the role was mutually suitable, as well as supporting me every step of the way. She is also a genuinely nice person and a real pleasure to do business with. I am very grateful that she helped to make the whole process such a positive experience - thanks again Kaye!
