Case Study

Coole Bevis

Led by Sabina Minnis, now Founder of Aurora Legal Talent

The Challenge

In April 2023, Coole Bevis needed to fill a Leasehold Enfranchisement Solicitor role in West Sussex — a niche specialism, a time-sensitive deadline, and a location that narrowed the talent pool considerably. They needed a recruitment partner who could move fast without compromising on quality.

The Approach

We began with a detailed fact-finding session to understand the role, the team, and exactly what "right fit" looked like for Coole Bevis. From there, we ran a full market review to map where suitable candidates, both actively looking and open to approach, were likely to be found.

With that groundwork done, we moved into a targeted search, identifying two strong candidates. Both progressed through a thorough two-stage interview process, each demonstrating clear potential for the role.

The Outcome

Coole Bevis made an offer to their preferred candidate, which, after a short negotiation we managed on their behalf, was accepted.

From first conversation to offer acceptance: 50 days, for a role that was niche, time-sensitive, and geographically constrained.

The candidate has since gone on to make Partner, within four months of starting.
