I cannot recommend Kate highly enough. She knows the Bay Area market intimately and is able to leverage that knowledge to give actionable, tailored advice (down to the specific interviewer). Kate is a true counselor and advisor and it was a privilege to work with her.

Zsaleh is fantastic. I cannot recommend her enough. Amidst the chaos of billing 250-hour months, it felt like moving firms was impossible. However, Zsaleh made it possible with her attention to detail, great communication, and excellent follow-up. She carefully tailored her job recommendations to what I wanted so I could efficiently decide where to apply. She was also extremely supportive of me being picky about where to apply and I knew she had (and still has) my best interest at heart. Finally, Zsaleh is so warm, kind, and friendly—you will feel comfortable around her immediately, which is critical in such a stressful process. I’ve recommended her to several friends and am doing the same here. Thank you again, Zsaleh!

Kate is a stellar recruiter, and an even better person. From our initial phone call, it was apparent that I was not dealing with an ordinary recruiter; she was honest, proactive, and always open to answer difficult questions. Before my interview, she walked me through the process and gave me extremely helpful insights about the people I interviewed with. After I got the offer I wanted, she did not rush me; rather, she walked me through the pros and cons of making the move. At the end, I accepted a job offer I could only dream about before meeting with Kate (and it only took two weeks from beginning to end!!). I honestly could not think of a better recruiter to work with. I highly recommend Kate for anyone who inspires to make a lateral move - you will not regret it!

Packing up and moving your life to a new country to accept a job opportunity can be daunting at the best of times, let alone during a global pandemic – but working with a person of Kate’s calibre made it all seem easy. I had the pleasure of working with Kate over a number of months in applying to, interviewing with and accepting corporate associate opportunities at law firms in the San Francisco Bay Area. Working with Kate made me appreciate the difference that an excellent recruiter can make at all stages of the process – from drafting up my first application and preparing for each interview, to asking all of my burning questions, to attending to the logistics of the move – Kate’s experience, work ethic and professionalism were invaluable. But more importantly, I really felt that Kate cared and had my best interests at heart – and I can see that is the approach that she takes with every lawyer and associate she works with. No question is too silly, and no problem is without a solution. Perhaps the only downside of moving to the Bay Area to accept a great opportunity is that I may have fewer opportunities to speak with Kate – her sense of humour and advice will certainly be missed. I would absolutely recommend Kate to any lawyers or associates who are interested in moving to the Bay Area.
