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.

Ed was referred to me by one of my close friends and I in turn have referred him to several of my friends. This is for good reason. Ed is an exceptional recruiter who was able to get me multiple interviews in a harder to break in to secondary market. And even though he was getting me interviews with firms, he was also supportive of my efforts to apply to firms independently. Ed gave me candid, helpful advice on my prospects, but at no point did I feel like he was pushing me to a firm that would not be a good fit for me. I am happy at the firm I am now at, which Ed got me an interview with, but if I ever want to make another career move I would not hesitate to reach out to Ed again.

I strongly recommend Jessica as your partner in searching for your next career move. From the beginning, she exactly understood what I was looking for in my next position and consistently communicated potential openings that fit my goals. For interviews, we did interview preparations together, which gave me so much confidence going into the interviews and eventually led to a success. The support didn't end there. Even after I started the new job, she followed up to check how I was settling in, and I sincerely felt supported and genuinely cared for. For anyone seeking a recruiter they can truly rely on, Jessica is an excellent choice and someone you will want to work with. Strongly recommended.

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!

Summer was an absolute pleasure to work with throughout the recruiting process and I highly recommend her services. In addition to the time spent reviewing my application materials and getting to know me as an applicant, she also spent countless hours answering my questions and advocating for me as her client. Throughout my search, I felt confident that Summer had my best interests at heart.
