    Why talk to Susan Belardi?

    Caitlin Trevillyan, Esq. joined Kilpatrick Townsend & Stockton LLP's District of Columbia office in the Government group.

    Susan Belardi and Legal Placement Consultants LLC were instrumental in placing me at my current firm even amidst this COVID-19 pandemic. Susan took the time to not only get to know me in terms of my qualifications, background and experience, but she also made the effort to get to know me on a personal level.  She definitely goes far and beyond for her candidates to ensure that they are prepared and have every advantage to succeed in getting and evaluating prospective offers from employers.  In addition, her attention to detail makes this ordinarily stressful process extremely enjoyable and exciting. No other placement consultant, head hunter or recruiter that I have worked with in the past has ever taken as much time and put in as much effort to my career advancement as Susan and Legal Placement Consultants. It is evident that Susan truly cares about her clients and her candidates in finding the best fit for both.
