My Role at Interlink
I head up the International Team here at Interlink, where we have a team of experienced Consultants specialised in recruiting at Associate and Partner level in Asia, Europe, Middle East, Africa and the United States.
I oversee the International division and our efforts in numerous key legal hubs as well as actively spending my time on Partner and team moves globally, assisting our ambitious clients with launching new offices abroad.
Why Recruitment?
I joined Interlink in 2018 as an Administrator, part of this role included completing an apprenticeship within Business Administration. After spending a few months in this role, I made the decision that I wanted to become a Recruitment Consultant. Part of my apprenticeship was to find a gap in the business, so I decided that I would look at continuing to build our presence in Manchester, specialising in the recruitment of Paralegals. After sharpening my recruitment skillset covering that market, I saw an opportunity to join the International team and I was very much drawn towards it.
Outside of Work
Outside of work, I am a keen gamer, I also enjoy eating out at restaurants and spending time with my family and friends. I have recently purchased my first property, so I am throwing a lot of my free time towards renovating this. I am also interested in all things related to Greek mythology, business, economics and the world of investing.
Thank you again for being as involved and as eager as I am, in the entire recruitment process with Pinsents. I personally have not interacted with a more enthusiastic and diligent recruiter and I would genuinely like to thank you for all your support!.
Daniyal played a pivotal role during my search for a new role, and ultimately placed me with a magic circle firm in Singapore. Despite starting out this process with a few recruiters, Daniyal stood out because he went above and beyond just matching my profile with firms which were hiring and he proactively reached out to various teams to discuss whether my profile would fit into these teams notwithstanding that them not actively hiring.
Daniyal has been nothing but helpful throughout the process in guiding me with discussions about career trajectory and compensation - the insights provided and advice given were invaluable and at every turn, he is genuine, courteous and displays an immense amount of professionalism. I would recommend Daniyal to anyone looking to take the next step - you will be in safe hands!
I could not recommend Daniyal more highly. He has been a great help in my search for the next challenge in my career and had ultimately placed me with a Magic Circle firm in Singapore in less than a month after we first started the process, which in itself is no small feat. Daniyal distinguishes himself from others in similar positions by being genuinely passionate, proactive and professional. He is able to understand my needs and experience and how to best manage the opportunities with prospective firms. He has a detailed understanding of the market and was able to provide me with valuable advice and support throughout the entire process. To add to the above, Daniyal is also personable, attentive and responsive. I would recommend Daniyal to candidates who, like me, are looking for the next step in their careers. Truly a class above any other recruiter I've worked with.
I have been dealing with Daniyal for nearly 3 weeks now. So far he has been very informative of the legal sector in his area, he has helped me draft my CV to appeal to more firms and he has been very proactive in approaching firms. Daniyal is always happy to give me any advice, even if this is outside of his usual business. He is very interested in what I want from a firm and where I want to go, this has opened me out to more opportunities and a larger network.
Pleasure working with Daniyal recently on the recruitment of a very talented Commercial Property Paralegal. Daniyal managed the whole process quickly and efficiently, delivering a great result for our business. I look forward to working with Daniyal again in the future.
Daniyal is able to adapt to unconventionally creative ways to achieve the best results for his clients.
I have had contact with Daniyal in connection with the recruitment of Senior Lawyers for a newly created law firm in Spain. I was impressed by his good work and professionalism at all times, as well as his rigorous monitoring of the process. I definitely recommend him for any recruitment of senior professionals.
