I run a small practice in South London and I would like to establish a long-term relationship with a recruitment company, ideally one that has plenty of experience of recruiting to practices like ours.
Does anyone have a good recommendation?
Thanks

As a candidate, Robert Half has been the best by a country mile.
I have dealt with others that are slack and have sent me to pointless interviews with misinformation.
I dealt with the Leeds branch, so have no idea if they southern branches will be of the same quality.
Sorry no recommendations but in my experience they almost all have access to exactly the same pool of candidates unless you are looking for someone with very specific skills.
A coupe of tips if I may: Make sure you read the terms and conditions thoroughly - there is a reason why agencies t's & c's are up to 15 pages long!! If you are looking for permanent employees negotiate on the margin (the 25%+ they quote is wholly negotiable.), rebate (amount you receive if they leave), the terms/dating (they always ask for 7 but usually happy to quote 30 days and the termination clauses (always more complicated than necessary).
You may as well ask for a recommendation for breakfast cereal. Nobody knows your culture or the style of relationship you want with the supplier.
