Testimonials
"I used Liam Mooney at Blue Pencil to help me find my current position. I found that he was extremely proactive, had an in depth knowledge of the UAE market and had good management of both client and candidate expectations. He was very patient and showed a good understanding of the legal minds of western law companies and molded it to fit the GCC."
Bachir Nawar, BLP Solicitors, Abu Dhabi Office.
"It is my pleasure to give a testimonial regarding my experience with Nik Turner at Blue Pencil as a recruiter. My husband had taken a position in Abu Dhabi working for Abu Dhabi University and I had six months to find a position in a law firm so I could join him in the UAE. Nik sent me several positions of well known international law firms that were available. He arranged for telephone interviews (since I could not travel to the UAE for a personal interview) and since there was a 9-hour difference between the UAE and the U.S. we would have to strategically schedule the telephone interviews at an appropriate time for all parties involved. Based on my good experience with Nik I have also sent him many referrals during the two (2) years I have been in the UAE, mostly because I value his friendship and his professionalism. I could not have asked for a better recruiter who made my transition to the UAE a very smooth move due to his recruiting expertise."
Diane Nobles, Latham & Watkins, Abu Dhabi Office.
"While I was living in London, I had the chance to deal with a number of top notch recruiters. In these difficult market conditions, I was surprised that some were not professional, nice, patient or simply could not deliver... then came Liam.... with his help I found in a short period of time the exact role I was looking for at DLA Piper."
Riad Azzi, DLA Piper, Kuwait Office.
"I owe my position in the Firm where I presently work largely to the efforts of Liam Mooney of BluePencil. He was very professional and went out of his way to make the deal happen even when it seemed like all hope was lost. In addition to providing valuable tips that I used in preparing for the interview, Liam also helped to bring the negotiations back on track after a three-month hiatus. I will gladly recommend BluePencil to employers and candidates in Nigeria. Their services are second to none and they come highly recommended."
Nkem Ekwere, Jackson Etti & Edu, Lagos, Nigeria.
"I just wanted to write a quick testimonial. This is a quick message to say thank you to Liam Mooney in the Dubai office who has been nothing short of brilliant, knowledgeable and utterly professional in assisting me to find a job. He went the extra mile to make sure I was well prepared for the interview and informed me what to expect, he never stopped fighting for me to get the best deal and be happy with my decisions."
Ahmad Al- Khalil, Ince & Co. Dubai, UAE
"I have been very impressed with the quality of service I have received from Blue Pencil and especially Liam. Liam is reliable, efficient, professional and - above all - truthful. He understands the Bahraini legal market and both client and candidate expectations as he is keen to find the most adequate position that suits his client's background and experience. This has led me to find my current position as an Associate with ASAR Bahrain."
Najib Saadé, ASAR, Bahrain office.
