Sharri Plimbley Associates Legal Recruitment Specialist

Sharri was extremely helpful throughout the process of finding an NQ role. She also helped with CV and interview tips and kept me well informed at all times. Cannot recommended Sharri enough.

Commercial Property Solicitor
Shepherd & Wedderburn (Glasgow)

​Moving from being a Trainee to an NQ can be very daunting but Sharri was great from start to finish. What I liked best was Sharri was genuinely interested in you as a person and getting the right firm that would fit you, which is so important to when starting out your career. Sharri was there throughout from supportive calls before interviews to follow-up chats to see how you’re getting on. I couldn’t recommend Sharri enough.

Funds Paralegal

Sharri helped me find a new role at a firm that I would not have had the confidence to apply for on my own.

Construction, Projects & Infrastructure Associate
Shepherd & Wedderburn (Glasgow)

​Working with Sharri is a pleasure from first to last. Her knowledge of the legal sector - and its specialisms - is first class. Her contacts are endless. Within weeks of my first contact with her and after an admittedly rather garbled statement by me of my aspirations, Sharri had found two positions for me to apply for, both of which were perfect. In advance of each interview, Sharri called for pre-interview prep. She kept me updated throughout and responded to emails and texts literally within minutes. Sharri's knowledge, experience, enthusiasm and sheer class shines through everything she does. Thanks very much to her excellent work, I am starting my dream job in the New Year. Although I am unlikely to need to work with Sharri again in the near future (thanks again to her excellent work), she will absolutely be my one and only recommendation to anyone looking for a legal recruitment agent. I cannot emphasise more highly what an absolute pleasure she is to work with. She should be on speed dial for anyone looking for a new position. Sharri - I cannot thank you enough!

Sharri is attentive, patient and always available and willing to provide invaluable feedback and guidance to newly qualified solicitors throughout the recruitment process. I first met Sharri at an NQ information evening she hosted annually to provide trainee solicitors with details of the legal market and opportunities for newly qualified solicitors. After speaking with Sharri at the event she kindly gave me feedback to improve my CV and suggested roles outwith my traineeship experience that I may have been suitable for that gave me the confidence to seek an NQ position that I may have otherwise overlooked. Prior to my interviews Sharri always made time to call or contact me to give advice and support and provided me with prompt feedback when received. Sharri's attentiveness and professionalism made the sometimes nerve-wracking recruitment process much easier and I would wholeheartedly recommend Sharri to friends and colleagues seeking a new opportunity.
