Washington, DC – Private Equity Associate

Ed was absolutely fantastic. When I was strongly considering new employment, Ed reached out and explained a new opportunity to me. He provided great insight into the firm, was very responsive and courteous throughout the entire process, and really went to bat for me during the negotiations. Moreover, his prep for the multiple interviews was key to focusing on what the firm was looking for and really gave me an edge and comfortability going in to those meetings. Beyond the substantive work, I think what sets Ed really apart is the time he took to slow things down and make sure that I was comfortable with the move and that the position was right for me, which I really appreciated. In the end, I got the job and I am very happy with the decision and I don't think I would be here without Ed's help. I can't recommend him enough!

Darin is a top-notch recruiter who helped make my dream job a reality. His invaluable knowledge of the legal market and the resources from Major, Lindsey & Africa that he brings to his candidates is superb. Darin goes above and beyond to respond to any and all inquiries and to understand his candidates in order to find the right placement. He will become your biggest cheerleader as well as a trusted advisor. I highly recommend working with Darin.

Max was super responsive and targeted in his approach. He brought opportunities to me and listened to feedback to seek out additional opportunities that may not have been available at first glance. He was a pleasure to work with!

Bryson is what everyone wants in a recruiter. From his first message to his interview preparation to his handling of offers, Bryson provided detailed information about every law firm (including detailed information about each interviewer + testimonials where available) and how each offer compared to what was going on in the market. He never hid the ball and was really helpful at getting interviews scheduled around my packed big law calendar. He is particularly well-versed in minority representation at firms which is an added bonus if that impacts you, and I know it is something that I always take into consideration when looking at a workplace. I’d use his services again - he’s really top-notch!

I would highly recommend Steven to anyone contemplating a lateral move. Steven went above and beyond throughout the entirety of my lateraling process. He made it clear from the beginning he wanted to support my long-term goals and followed through on that every step of the way. He is consistently responsive, honest and insightful. I particularly appreciated his thoughtful advice as I navigated moving cities, getting application materials together, interviewing and ultimately accepting an offer. He made what could have been a very stressful time exponentially better. He is incredibly knowledgable and has continued to provide support as I have transitioned to my new role. It is evident Steven takes the time to get to know the candidates he works with personally and has your best interests in mind always. I am incredibly grateful to have had the opportunity to work with Steven. If you are thinking about making a lateral move, Steven is an incredible resource and advocate for everyone he works with.

I highly recommend Vijay Sandal from the Sterling Clark Group who played an instrumental role in securing my dream role in the legal industry! After spending five years in my previous position, I was apprehensive about reentering the job market, especially considering the challenging economic climate. However, Vijay was caring and understanding of the nuanced needs of a person of color. He is a legal recruiter who has a wealth of knowledge and unwavering dedication, which proved invaluable. From the moment we began our collaboration, Vijay made it a priority to understand my goals and aspirations both in the short and long term. Through numerous conversations, he took the time to delve into the specifics of what I was seeking in my next role. He thoroughly reviewed my resume, discussed potential interview questions, and addressed developments along the way. Vijay designed a meticulous tailored strategy that was efficient and effective. Throughout the entire process, Vijay and I functioned as a cohesive team, always making himself available to answer any questions or concerns.

Securing an offer that exceeded my expectations was something I never thought possible, and I owe it to Vijay's hard work and unwavering dedication. This opportunity is undoubtedly a career changer for me, and I cannot express enough gratitude for Vijay's efforts. His professionalism, expertise, and genuine care have left an indelible mark on my professional journey. I will miss our frequent calls, as they were not only informative, but also a source of motivation and encouragement. I wholeheartedly recommend Vijay as a recruiter to anyone seeking a true partner in their job search. His ability to navigate challenging circumstances, his attention to detail, and his commitment to his clients' success are unparalleled. I am eternally grateful for his guidance and support, and I have no doubt that he will continue to secure amazing positions for his clients!

Kate helped me find a new job even when I felt I was an under-qualified candidate. I was not hopeful at all I would find something I wanted or liked. She was honest about my chances from the beginning which really helped manage my expectations. I changed directions a couple times with where I wanted to be located and this was no problem for Kate. She really listened to what I was looking for and used my feedback to find interesting opportunities. Throughout the interview process, she would always check in. And even during onboarding she would check in to ask if I needed anything. Kate helped me find a job that I both wanted and liked! Very happy with how things turned out and I would definitely recommend Kate!!
