    Why talk to Bryson Malcolm?

    Dominique Jones joined Paul Hastings LLP's New York City office in the Litigation group.

    Working with Bryson was a seamless process. After our first meeting he sent me a personalized spreadsheet of open positions that matched my interests, and sending regular updates for new openings. As we prepped for interviews, Bryson went above and beyond to provide me with information for each person I would be meeting with in one consolidated email. He highlighted important information that he thought would be most interesting and relevant to me for my meetings. He also summarized the firms' statistics, with a welcome emphasis on diversity statistics. Bryson has spent hours compiling statistics on the top law firms' diversity numbers, and this knowledge shows! Bryson handled all of the communications with firms for me, and was quick at scheduling interviews, and keeping all the firms I was interviewing with aware of my other options. I believe this helped me receive multiple offers in a short time frame. When I was weighing these options, Bryson reached out to his network of peers and friends for additional information on lifestyle and culture. All in all, Bryson goes the extra mile in his role as recruiter. I felt confident that he was preparing me to the highest degree for my interviews and callbacks. I would not hesitate to recommend him. Thank you Bryson!

    Why talk to Priya Gulati?

    Tiffany N. Jones joined Paul Hastings LLP's Bay Area office in the Corporate group.

    Priya was immensely helpful during my job search. I worked with her twice, once as an out of state candidate and once in state, while my previous search was unsuccessful, she was eager to assist my second time around. She was by far the most helpful recruiter I worked with. She was very responsive, she prepped me for every single interview, and listen to my concerns and adjusted along the way. Priya will put you in the best position to get a job in a difficult California marketplace. I highly recommend her.
