Recruiter activity

Kate Reder Sheikh

Major, Lindsey & Africa

Bryan Osorio joined Fenwick & West in San Francisco

Kate is the best. She is knowledgable and plugged in. She knows something about everyone and every firm. She is great at interview prep. But the best thing about working with Kate is the way that she treats not just her clients but people in general. I never felt like I was being pushed into a job just so that Kate could get paid. I felt like Kate was personally invested in me going to a place that was going to be a great fit. Her people skills are second to none. Big Law is tough enough to do without having to figure out how to look for another job. Kate makes it so you don't have to worry about any of that. I feel comfortable connecting my close friends with Kate because I know she is going to find the right place for them. I highly recommend going with Kate!

Ethan Thomas joined Fenwick & West in San Francisco

Kate is an absolutely stellar recruiter. From the minute I began working with her, she was engaged with what I was seeking in terms of practice, firm culture, and career trajectory. She actively sought out opportunities, and the process was dynamic; Kate was educating me on the market just as much as she was digesting information about me as a candidate. Kate was also helping me with a cross-market lateral move into a market in which I had not even received bar exam results at the time, so my case presented its own particular challenges. But her advocacy and persistence (including interview preparation and insight into the people and the actual work I would encounter at various firms) bore results and helped me land exactly where I wanted to be. I cannot recommend Kate highly enough.

Mona F. joined Fenwick & West in San Francisco

Kate was an absolute joy to work with! Coming from being in-house for over a year, Kate helped me find firms that were tailored to my particular strengths and interests. She was efficient and thorough, and I couldn’t be happier with the process. As I write this, I’ve completed my first week at my new firm and can already tell it’s a perfect fit. I would easily recommend Kate to anyone looking for new firm opportunities!

Priya Gulati

Pacific Legal Search

Shreyas Kale joined Fenwick & West in California

Priya was absolutely amazing for helping me get placed in my current position! I cannot recommend her highly enough. I first contacted Priya when I was thinking of looking for a lateral position. She was patient and was available to chat about the market and what I was looking for. My “maybe” search turned into an active search a few weeks later, and this is when Priya really helped me out. She helped me figure out out what position I was looking for, what kind of firm, and geographical location. Priya helped hone my resume with several iterations, and would give me a reason for why something was removed or kept in when I would disagree. She was very open with me about shortcomings I needed to address, or strengths I should play up. While this can be sometimes a harsh process, Priya friendliness made it easy and it was clear that we were on the same team. We then did a couple rounds of mock interviews till I felt comfortable with all the questions I would likely be asked. Priya was invaluable in the interview process as she helped me craft answers to questions that addressed some of my weaknesses. I can tell from my initial answers on the mock interviews that I would have had a lot fewer offers without Priya’s help. Priya was also helpful in providing information for each interview I appeared for, and having a quick discussion about the firm and the interviewees before I appeared for most interviews. I was located on the east coast, and I interviewed for lateral positions across the country in both large markets and smaller markets. Priya handled all the logistics for all my interviews. I started looking for positions in December, and had the offer I ultimately accepted by January. Priya worked tirelessly with me over the holidays and into the new year to get me placed. Priya was also invaluable for negotiating my compensation and benefits. Overall, I can’t imagine my search being as fruitful without Priya’s help.
