About me

David

I am the Director of Legal Technology Recruitment. I am a big Star Wars (bordering on geek) and love holidaying on the Isle of Wight with my wife.

Full bio

David has over 15 years Permanent & Contract Recruitment experience, building specialist talent pools for clients. As Head of Legal Technology Recruitment, David is responsible for the delivery of Permanent & Contract Recruitment to our clients across Law Practice, Technology Vendors, and Legal Services Sectors. He partners with clients throughout the UK & Europe to help them attract, measure, and retain great candidates that match their culture, vision and values, helping them to save time, money and resources.

When he is not recruiting you will find Dave trying to get fit again, long walks, at the Cinema or enjoying a bit of DIY.

Client Testimonials

Got me an interview before the position was live!

Great experience working with David at Identifi. He had good advice on my CV, used his contacts to get me an interview for a position before it was advertised, and then kept me updated and advised throughout the interview process until I landed the job. Can’t fault the service, would recommend Identifi and David to anyone looking for VF development work!
