Meet Jess
With over five years of experience in HR, compliance, and recruitment for law firms, I am a legal recruitment specialist who understands the challenges and rewards of pursuing a career in the legal industry. As an Associate Director at DGP Legal, I use my first-hand knowledge and passion for everything legal to help my candidates and clients find the right fit for their professional aspirations and team environments. I have a Bachelor of Laws and a Bachelor of Arts from Western Sydney University, and I have worked as an Office Manager and an Operations Manager in various sectors before joining the legal recruitment field. I have developed strong skills in customer service, communication, and Microsoft Office, as well as a keen eye for detail and quality. I am driven to source and place individuals who excel in their specific areas of law and who share the values and vision of the firms I work with.

Specialisms & experience
Compliance & Vetting Process
We mitigate risk and protect your firm’s reputation through a rigorous, multi-layered vetting process before any candidate is presented. For our legal professionals, this includes: Credential & Admission Verification: We cross-check admission dates and current practicing status directly with the relevant state governing body. Deep-Dive Reference Checks: We conduct 2 to 3 detailed reference checks, moving past standard checklists to ask personalized, role-specific questions tailored to your firm's exact needs. Academic Auditing: We fully verify academic transcripts and qualifications to ensure technical foundations are sound. Workplace History Confirmation: We thoroughly map out and confirm employment history to ensure absolute transparency and consistency.
Personalised, boutique recruitment service since 1994
DGP’s well-regarded and longstanding reputation in the Sydney recruitment market is something of which we are very proud. It is also our greatest marketing tool and gives us access to a candidate base that many other agencies cannot reach. Over 50% of candidates who register with DGP have been referred to us by satisfied clients and candidates, or have returned to us having been happy with our service in the past. Many of these candidates are registered with us on a ‘sole agency’ basis and are in addition to the steady flow of candidates approaching us through other sources, such as advertising, open registration events and a network of agency contacts overseas.
