Why talk to Priya Gulati?
Kevin K. Kim joined Mintz, Levin, Cohn, Ferris, Glovsky and Popeo P.C.'s San Diego office in the Labor & Employment group.
I'm not sure that I have much to say about Priya that hasn't already been said. She's obviously incredible at her job and we have the choice of a seeming endless number of recruiters, so why Priya? This is going to sound hokey, but she genuinely cares about her candidates and structures her searches based upon what's best for the candidate, not for her. It's pretty clear she genuinely loves what she does and at the end of the day, all she really wants is for you to be happy with whatever decision you make, regardless of whether or not it benefits her. She'll basically guarantee that whatever position you're targeting, you're giving it your best shot, and there is no way you won't be overprepared. If you're looking to make a move, or even just have questions about the state of the market, look no further. Priya is an ace recruiter, but an even better person.
