    I had the pleasure of working with Jessica during a recent lateral move and would highly recommend her to anyone considering a lateral transition. Jessica was highly organized and always responsive throughout the entire process. She kept me informed at every stage, was always available to answer questions, and made what can often be a stressful experience feel manageable. Her prior experience as a patent attorney set her apart. Because she had practiced in the field, she understood nuances of roles and firms and their culture in a way that most recruiters do not. Her advice was practical, candid, and incredibly helpful. Whether we were discussing opportunities, preparing for interviews, or evaluating potential fits, I felt like I was getting guidance from someone who understood the profession and my needs. Highly recommend!

She was instrumental at every stage of the process, from targeting opportunities that aligned with my career goals to preparing for interviews and, finally, negotiating the terms of my offer. I am sincerely grateful for her efforts and advice, and I would absolutely work with her again.

    Blaine Valencia joined Sheppard Mullin’s Los Angeles office in the Litigation group.

    Vijay from Sterling Clark Group is a true talent in the world of legal recruitment. With Vijay’s essential guidance and support, I secured a lucrative lateral offer in a tough economy.  Since our introductory exchanges, Vijay communicated with me in an uplifting yet realistic manner. He demonstrated a strong understanding of the legal field. He provided keen insight into various legal industries, law firm sizes, and feasible exit opportunities. Vijay’s knowledge base repeatedly proved to me that he understands the different shapes a legal career can take.  Vijay’s memory is sharp, and he clearly invests in the candidates he works with. Vijay took the initiative to speak with me candidly about my own career goals. He would thoughtfully weave those goals into the opportunities he carefully tailored and shared with me. As a diverse applicant, it was also important for me to work with a recruiter who was considerate of my background. Vijay proved more than capable of ensuring that the opportunities I considered provided meaningful programming and mentorship for diverse attorneys. During our meetings, Vijay showcased a keen and strategic approach to the lateral hiring process. Vijay works diligently to ensure that his clients lead with their very best. Vijay’s resume input urged me to step into the shoes of a reviewer. It allowed me to refine my language meaningfully. Vijay’s interview prep anticipated questions and workshopped my answers. This preparation allowed me to arrive at interviews with confidence. And at each turn, Vijay showed deep investment in my process. Vijay was eager to debrief interviews and he would offer worthwhile input based on his years of experience and industry exposure. These debriefs offered perspective on my candidacy and feedback to bring into later rounds. Vijay is a true advocate for his clients. He sparked meaningful reflection. He spoke with me from a place of relatability and genuine encouragement. He foresaw the contours of the interview and recruitment process that I could not have anticipated on my own. I benefited greatly from his efforts and ended this process feeling like he invested in me.
