    Ed Hossain

    Legal Recruiter

    Long Ridge Partners

    Why talk to Ed Hossain?

    Alec Zatirka joined Davis Wright Tremaine LLP's Seattle office in the Litigation group.

    Ed was referred to me by one of my close friends and I in turn have referred him to several of my friends. This is for good reason. Ed is an exceptional recruiter who was able to get me multiple interviews in a harder to break in to secondary market. And even though he was getting me interviews with firms, he was also supportive of my efforts to apply to firms independently. Ed gave me candid, helpful advice on my prospects, but at no point did I feel like he was pushing me to a firm that would not be a good fit for me. I am happy at the firm I am now at, which Ed got me an interview with, but if I ever want to make another career move I would not hesitate to reach out to Ed again.

    Working with Priya was one of the best career decisions I’ve ever made. She is incredibly knowledgeable, detail-oriented, kind, honest, and provided unbelievably valuable guidance during my job search process. Priya’s work process is transparent, efficient, and tailored to the needs of each individual candidate. I genuinely felt that Priya prioritised my goals and interests above all else, and did not push me into pursuing opportunities that she did not believe would be a good fit. Priya is also extremely responsive and perceptive, which gave me much needed peace of mind during this stressful process. I HIGHLY recommend Priya to all legal professionals looking for a career change. It’s been an absolute pleasure working with Priya!!
