Candidates
I had a fantastic experience with Mimi Fong during my recruitment process. She is not a mere agent but also a coach and a great counsellor who works in the best interest of your career. I am saying this because she focuses on your long term career growth, explains and contributes to your career strategy and prepares you for an interview. She is definitely not interested to "cash you in" for mere short term benefits. What I also values is that she does not make unrealistic promises. She quickly understands your goals and produces a clear and realistic picture of your choices in the current market. If you want a proactive and clever agent with a personal touch, which distinguishes her from the "conventional" bigger recruitment agencies, she is definitely an excellent choice.

Mimi Fong is by far one of the best recruitment agents I've known. Her hands on approach, diligence and utmost care turns the most painstaking process such as job hunting into a learning and self improvement curve. From writing an appropriate CV, to preparing for an interview, to debriefing, Mimi has given me the most valuable, individual attention. She is convincing, reliable, friendly, humorous - all the qualities you would want in a great recruitment agent. I would recommend Mimi to every job hunter in the industry.
Marketing Manager Asia, Leading International Firm
Mimi Fong is one of the most exceptional recruitment consultants I have ever worked with. Mimi patiently and professionally assisted me through every stage of my successful application for an associate position at a UK Magic Circle firm. The experience I gained at that firm has since led to me becoming the youngest partner at a leading Australian-based international law firm, where I now work with Mimi in a different capacity as a prospective employer.

I engaged Mimi's services while looking for jobs in the UK. I was immediately impressed by her honesty and straightforwardness. It was always made clear to me that my happiness came first and I was never treated like a commission. Mimi encouraged me to speak to a range of people and went through the merits of each offer so that my decision would be right for me. She was generous with her time and level headed when I needed a solid sounding board. Mimi is knowledgeable, worldly and incredibly genuine. Able to draw on knowledge of the industry and an uncommon wisdom of her own, you get the feeling she sees every new client as a chance to do something meaningful in the world. I would recommend Mimi without hesitation.

After being recommended to me by a close friend, I contacted Jacqui and Mimi to help me locate the right role. I can honestly say that I have been very impressed with the personalised service that has been offered to me. Jacqui and Mimi took the time to fully unterstand what it was I was looking for and their strong knowledge of both the local and overseas market was obvious. They have kept me informed at all stages of the recruitment process and I really feel that they care that I find the role that's right for me, which, as I know from first-hand experience, is not something to be taken for granted in the recruitment industry. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending their services to friends and colleagues in the future!
IT/Telco Lawyer, Top Tier Australian Firm
I would highly recommend Mimi Fong as an exceptional international recruitment consultant. It quickly became apparent to me through the recruitment process that Mimi has an in depth knowledge of the legal industry and, most importantly, is respected by and well known to many key international law firms. Mimi was very thorough and honest in assisting with interview preparation and in giving interview feedback to the extent that it was often instrumental in promoting a successful interview. Mimi's efforts ensured that the process of transitioning my career from Queensland to the London office of a magic circle law firm was a smooth one.
Corporate Finance Lawyer, Magic Circle Firm
I was very impressed with Mimi as a recruiting consultant. Mimi has good connections with the Magic Circle and US firms and also the mid-tier firms in London and placed me at a firm that wasn't even advertising for associates. Mimi wasn't aggressive and didn't push me into accepting the first offer that came through. She also didn't push me to accept the higher offer, but rather helped me choose the firm that was right for me. Mimi also negotiated the offer on my behalf, so that it tailored to my needs, rather than pushing me to accept what the firm put on the table. Thanks Mimi!

Mimi was also very open and honest about feedback from employers which, combined with her excellent preparation, is invaluable in deciding how to approach interviews and negotiations. Overall, it is easy to feel that Mimi gives you the best possible chance at getting the match right.

My experience of Amicas Global, and specifically Mimi Fong with whom I dealt, was a very positive one. Their approach was pro-active, thorough and very professional, and they have a very good grasp of the state of the international market and the key players and opportunities available within it. Amicas Global assisted me considerably in preparation of a comprehensive CV and providing very useful, practical advice on how to navigate the interview and recruitment process to best effect.
I have no hesitation in recommending Amicas Global to assist you in your job hunt.

I have found that Mimi and Jacqui are not only able to listen to our needs but more importantly understand our requirements and in so doing provide us with the right quality candidate. They remain in regular contact despite not having a physical presence in the Middle East which enables them to continue to build relationships in our market.
