Hear the experiences from some of our current staff members
Having recently joined AJ Chambers in January 2022, it was very soon clear to me they were flexible and operated their business in a very innovative way. The team here are proactive and encourage you to think for yourself and contribute to every aspect of recruitment. My previous experience is in graphic design and city-based, but I really feel I am making a difference here in a short space of time. They have exciting prospects with the option of training and a great balance between work and leisure.
Robert Hunter
I joined AJ Chambers in January 2020, and very soon after I came on board, there was evidently an opportunity to use my skillset and experience to form a new division, and strengthen the M&A offering of the business. My role is multi-faceted, and I have a high degree of autonomy and responsibility which really appeals to me. AJ Chambers is an ambitious business, with clear objectives, excellent opportunities to progress, and has a fantastic working environment. As someone whom wishes to progress and play an important role within the business, the autonomy and opportunities you are given really does lead to a saying I use a lot when describing the feeling I have here ‘You are running your own business, within a business’.
James Gosling, Head of Mergers and Acquisitions, 2020 intake
"I joined AJ Chambers in 2018 as an Apprentice at the age of 16, just a few weeks after leaving school. Although I wasn’t the most confident person, the team were friendly and welcoming, and have helped me progress massively. The training I received was amazing, and I am now on a career pathway with the group that is really exciting. It is a great company to work for, and I’m now helping to train people myself, and looking forward to being part of the business for a long time."
Jessica Dodman, Group Admin Support, completed Business Administration Apprenticeship in 2021
I joined AJ Chambers as an apprentice in 2014. My role was initially to provide support to Senior Consultants as a Researcher but quickly progressed to a Junior Consultant due to an excellent internal and external training programme. Over the past few years my role has developed in to a fast paced and exciting client facing role, where I manage a portfolio of my own and act as their first point of contact. Now, 7 years on I am a Principal Consultant and work closely with the Directors on training our newest talent, helping them develop their skills and drive our consultancy forwards.
Scott Golding, Principal Consultant, Apprentice intake in 2014
I graduated from the University of Greenwich in 2018 with first-class honours in Law. I really enjoyed my time at university and got to meet some amazing people. Upon graduation, I secured a role as an insurance consultant before joining Nelson Chambers at the beginning of this year. Joining Nelson Chambers during a lockdown has not always been easy. It's such a simple thing but being able to meet the whole team (albeit virtually) has been the best moment for me by far. The most challenging part of being a recruitment consultant is being able to influence decision-makers at top law firms. With a calm and measured approach and a bit of patience, it can be done and results in great outcomes for both candidates and clients. I love the collaborative environment at Nelson Chambers and am thoroughly enjoying the challenges of the role
