Jacon Legal Recruitment

Testimonials

"Our legal department was looking for a trilingual Legal Interim Manager with relevant international experience in our sector. We needed someone who would be operational from day 1 and thus could autonomously take over the work of our lawyer who was on maternity leave. I also set out requirements so this person would fit within the team and the corporate culture: the candidate not only had to have a good sense of humor, but also had to be hardy. So no parrot. I realized only too well that I had high expectations. But a little later, to my surprise, the ideal business partner arrived... with a fantastic sense of humor."

Hans Sevenants
Head of Legal @ Shell France and BeLux

"What Jacon Legal definitely distinguishes itself in is their tailor-made approach. No dozens of candidates, but a short list of candidates who meet the job requirements and who are also screened for their personal characteristics, so that the proposed candidates fit in perfectly with the culture of the company, the team and my personal work ethic. The working method of Jacon Legal is therefore characterized by efficiency, focus and a personal approach! We are also very satisfied with the Legal Freelancer provided by Jacon Legal. It is pleasant to consult with someone who has personally held the position of Head of Legal and Legal Freelancer. Such a sounding board absolute holds added value for me."

Vanessa De Waele
General Counsel @ NHV

"What I greatly appreciate about the services of Jacon Legal is that Ann takes the time to come and listen to precisely what you are looking for. What profile? What traits, abilities or wishes do I find important in this person? Based on her own experience, she knows exactly what questions to ask and she also takes extensive note of this. She also reports this back to the client and then goes to work. Within the agreed time (this one time even in less than two weeks), she succeeds in proposing several candidates, taking expectations into account, and with one or more references being taken each time. Jacon Legal has already seen all the candidates in advance and also draws up its own ranking, so that when you start with the candidate Jacon Legal presents as the number one candidate, the chances of a match are the highest. Handy, because that way you don't have to go through all the candidates."

"The paralegal who used to have a negative attitude all the time, is now looking forward to dive in fully again. He is beaming because he realizes that he has a role to play within the organization and because he can once again see the forest for the trees. We did not think such a change in mindset was possible. How did Jacon Legal manage it?”

I am thrilled about my candidate experience with Jacon Legal Recruitment.  Their approach is open and welcoming.  The atmosphere of the interviews was nice and they had real attention for what is important to me.  Judith was always available for any question and ready to help whenever I needed her.

Therefore I am really happy about the cooperation and of course about the result, as I got the job!  I enjoy my new job.  Just as Judith told me during the interviews the content of the job is what I was looking for and the colleagues are great.

It was really nice working with Judith / Jacon Legal and I can only recommend them.  Jacon Legal, thank you!

Legal Manager

“I used to leave the office at 7 pm with piles of work under my arm to work on at home during the evening. Still I never seemed to quite catch up and I was stressed out by the fear of forgetting something. Thanks to the tips from Jacon Legal I now have the sense that I am once again in control. That is very motivating. I now even have time to study and thus keep abreast of legal developments.”

"I am very satisfied with the way Jacon Legal deals with its candidates. It is a personal approach, rather than the more distant attitude that others often display. I am also very satisfied with the guidance, the information, the accessibility and the feedback I have been given. Thank you!"

Candidate

"The personalized approach is refreshing and inspires confidence. Another positive element was that consideration was also given to less objective factors other than merely job content, wages, etc. (e.g. work atmosphere, match between personalities, balance between work and private life, etc.)."
