    Top recruiter for this opening

    Why talk to Priya Gulati?

    Zak Baron joined Perkins Coie's Seattle office in the Real Estate group.

    As someone who was initially hesitant to engage a recruiter (given the influx of recruiter spam emails I receive on a daily basis), I couldn’t have been more impressed by my experience with Priya. She was thoughtful, responsive, and thorough at every stage of the lateral process. As I transitioned from Los Angeles to the Seattle market, Priya was especially helpful in educating me on the local landscape and the range of opportunities available. She took the time to understand my goals and priorities, provided clear guidance, and consistently followed up with useful insights that made the process much smoother. I am so grateful for her genuine investment in helping me finding the right fit for the next stage of my career.

    Why talk to Zsaleh Harivandi?

    Pj Novack joined Perkins Coie's Seattle office in the Litigation group.

    I strongly recommend hiring Zsaleh as a recruiter. Zsaleh reached out to me awhile back while I was clerking, and while I didn’t have a need for a recruiter at the time, Zsaleh generously took the time to explain to me how the recruiting process works. Left with a good impression, I contacted Zsaleh years later when I did need a recruiter, and she helped me land my top choice in a new city. Zsaleh is attentive, diligent, and a pleasure to work with. 10/10 recommend!

Greg provided thoughtful advice and guidance throughout my search, and genuinely seemed interested in finding the right role for me. He is very responsive, professional and generally nice to work with. If you’re looking to make a lateral move, I highly recommend Greg.
