He highlighted important information that he thought would be most interesting and relevant to me for my meetings. He also summarized the firms' statistics, with a welcome emphasis on diversity statistics. Bryson has spent hours compiling statistics on the top law firms' diversity numbers, and this knowledge shows! Bryson handled all of the communications with firms for me, and was quick at scheduling interviews, and keeping all the firms I was interviewing with aware of my other options. I believe this helped me receive multiple offers in a short time frame. When I was weighing these options, Bryson reached out to his network of peers and friends for additional information on lifestyle and culture. All in all, Bryson goes the extra mile in his role as recruiter. I felt confident that he was preparing me to the highest degree for my interviews and callbacks. I would not hesitate to recommend him. Thank you Bryson!

    I had a pleasant experience working with Summer.

    I very much enjoyed working with Jessica. Jessica knows the market well and does an excellent job of guiding you through the process, from interview prep, to scheduling, to frequent check-ins. However, I think what sets Jessica apart the most is her strategic thinking: she knows how to expertly navigate a challenging interview process or tricky hiring timeline, a rare skill that can make an invaluable difference in achieving the outcome you're hoping for. I highly recommend working with Jessica if you're looking to make a lateral move.

    I have nothing but wonderful things to say about my experience working with Zsaleh. I reached out to Zsaleh as an associate at a boutique firm in New York, looking to lateral to a BigLaw firm in California. I knew my search would be challenging, and I was feeling pretty nervous going into it - but Zsaleh made me feel optimistic from the moment we met. She was so exceptionally organized and had such a vast network of connections throughout California that I felt like I was in excellent hands throughout the entire process. She was also so communicative, giving me regular updates on all of my outstanding applications, and she was a huge help when I was preparing for interviews. Zsaleh played such a crucial role in me landing my dream role, and I can't recommend her highly enough. Thank you for everything, Zsaleh!

    Why talk to Bryson Malcolm?

    Dominique Jones joined Paul Hastings LLP's New York City office in the Litigation group.

    Working with Bryson was a seamless process. After our first meeting he sent me a personalized spreadsheet of open positions that matched my interests, and sending regular updates for new openings. As we prepped for interviews, Bryson went above and beyond to provide me with information for each person I would be meeting with in one consolidated email. He highlighted important information that he thought would be most interesting and relevant to me for my meetings. He also summarized the firms' statistics, with a welcome emphasis on diversity statistics. Bryson has spent hours compiling statistics on the top law firms' diversity numbers, and this knowledge shows! Bryson handled all of the communications with firms for me, and was quick at scheduling interviews, and keeping all the firms I was interviewing with aware of my other options. I believe this helped me receive multiple offers in a short time frame. When I was weighing these options, Bryson reached out to his network of peers and friends for additional information on lifestyle and culture. All in all, Bryson goes the extra mile in his role as recruiter. I felt confident that he was preparing me to the highest degree for my interviews and callbacks. I would not hesitate to recommend him. Thank you Bryson!
