About DMJ

DMJ Recruitment specialises in legal and company secretarial roles. We started the consultancy because there was the need for a firm that took the time to get to know candidates and clients to deliver the best results for everybody.

We are consultants - we listen to and question you, sharing our insights and expertise when they will make a difference. Consulting is a two way process and being open with us gives our consultants the opportunity to provide you with the best possible service.

We pride ourselves on the fact that our candidates often become clients and vice versa. Many of our relationships date back to before 2007 when we founded DMJ and it is this ethos of long term partnerships that we instil throughout our teams.

If you like our approach then we would like to work with you.

Company Secretary Insight Days

Co Sec Insight days, Inspiring future talent.

DMJ launched the Insight Day Initiative in 2016 to help raise the profile of the company secretarial profession amongst students and graduates. Our responsibility is to address the challenges faced to prevent a longer term skills shortage at a time when interest in the profession is rising. 

Some of the UK’s leading companies are hosting events at their offices to demonstrate what becoming a Company secretary entails. Between them, they've already inspired over 400 students and graduates to secure their first role or embark on the ICSA qualification.
