    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.

    Why talk to Priya Gulati?

    Sindoori Sriram joined Davis Wright Tremaine LLP's Seattle office in the Corporate group.

    Priya was nothing short of amazing. I've interacted with + worked with several recruiters in the past but will unequivocally rank Priya to be the BEST recruiter I've ever worked with. She is extremely thorough, thoughtful, detail-oriented, maintains lists , checklists and trackers and makes your life super easy, helps with interview prep and negotiating offers too. She will be a zealous advocate for you + your career at all points in time. The characteristic I appreciated the most in Priya is just her patience and her desire to get the best outcome for her clients at all points in time. A lot of recruiters can be pushy, but not Priya - she only had my best interests at heart throughout the whole process. She is also super straight forward, honest and and easy to work with. Thank you so much, once again, Priya :) you were a pleasure to work with!
