  • Kate Reder Sheikh
    Top recruiter for this opening

    Kate Reder Sheikh

    Legal Recruiter

    Major, Lindsey & Africa

    Why talk to Kate Reder Sheikh?

    Thomas Tyson joined Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher LLP's San Francisco office in the Litigation group.

    Kate is the person you want in your corner if you’re planning to go through the stresses that are a lateral move. Not only are her deep connections in the market immediately evident (we were instantly in contact with the select few firms I had on my list), but she strives to ensure her clients are supported and heard. She exerts considerable effort to humanize the process, and clearly cares about your well-being. Add that on top of her impressive technical skills—e.g., conducting mock interviews, helping with cover letters, answering frantic text messages—and you have an outstanding recruiter. I could not have chosen a better person to help with my move.

    Why talk to Priya Gulati?

    Yekaterina Reyzis joined Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher LLP's California office in the Labor & Employment group.

    Priya is an exceptional recruiter. She is professional, remarkably organized, and extremely well connected. These characteristics made me trust Priya initially, but she proved herself to be eons above the rest in many other ways. Priya is quick to go the extra mile again and again. She edited my resume and advised on all submissions, prepared me for interviews with candid feedback, researched each firm and each interviewer, and offered to connect me with her friends and colleagues for further information gathering. She clearly understands the big law market inside and out, which put me at ease. Most importantly, I felt supported during the recruitment process and ended up at a dream firm. I am endlessly grateful to Priya for her services and her friendship through one of the biggest decisions of my life. After working with multiple other recruiters for a few weeks before meeting Priya, I can say with certainty that Priya's craft and expertise stands out in the best way. I highly recommend Priya without question. Her counsel and dedication is invaluable, and she is an absolute pleasure to work with. Thank you, Priya!
