  • Prioritise competing requests effectively, and communicate changes clearly and promptly to partners, staff and the reception team.
  • Ensure that reception, client areas and meeting rooms are clean and tidy throughout the day.
  • Work with practice groups, Facilities, Secretarial and other business services teams to deliver client meetings and office events seamlessly.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
