THE TYLER WEIR STORY

Having worked for many years within top-tier in-house recruitment positions in a constantly competitive market for talent, the founder of Tyler Weir, Gillian has clear insight of the challenges hiring managers face and the critical need for having a talent strategy that works.

Equally, as a candidate who relocated from Dubai, she is familiar with the undertakings which should be considered when moving positions and locations and how important it is to have a strong knowledgeable consultant in your corner.

It is for this reason and passion that she established Tyler Weir where she can add value and offer considered advice to both employer and candidate within the law firm sector.

  • I’ve been working with Gillian and Tyler Weir for over four years now. The support that Gillian has since provided to Simmons & Simmons has been nothing short of first class. Gillian possesses the perfect combination of outstanding local connectivity and a global mindset. Her approach is thoughtful, considered, honest and proactive – a real partner to me and the firm.
