    Why talk to Rebecca Glatzer?

    Vaghif Salem joined Holland & Knight LLP's Charlotte office in the Finance group.

    I had the pleasure of working with Rebecca during my recent legal job search. She has a deep understanding of the Southeast market and provided detailed briefings on each firm to prepare for interviews and tailored advice on how to leverage my experience. Rebecca's established relationships with law firms also helped expedite the process when typical bottlenecks arose in the hiring timeline. Her communication style was consistently clear and direct; I especially appreciated her responsiveness at key junctures - whether to answer questions, provide timely updates, or offer perspective when I received offers and needed to make a decision. I would highly recommend Rebecca to any attorney in the Southeast seeking a knowledgeable and genuinely invested recruiter.
