Links hauls in 21 associates in Oz recruitment spree

Everyone knows there are plenty of good candidates in London (and other cities in the UK) at the right level who have experience and enthusiam. Let's be clear: the only reasons that law firms such as Linklaters are not after them are: (1) some of those candidates were made redundant and are wrongly viewed as incompetent by recruiters/law firms; and (2) UK candidates are more expensive than Aussies. But when Aussies decide to go home right in the middle of an upsurge of client activity because their European experience consists of being overworked in exchange for empty promises (higher pay, promotion etc.), firms are usually not so happy about this "flexible" workforce.
