Anne Rhodes joined Perkins Coie in San Francisco
I worked with Kate for a relocation to San Francisco from New York after my New York resources bore no fruit. I thought I was already pretty good at discerning a good recruiter from one that isn't so good, but Kate went above and beyond what I expected of a recruiter. She deftly maneuvered me through a transition at a time when few law firms that fit my criteria were looking to hire someone in my field, and ended up convincing my new firm to make an opportunistic hire (i.e., this firm wasn't looking to hire and had no public postings!). Finally, when I got the offer, she put me in touch with her own friends for informational calls. Not only that, but I loved having her as my intermediary to negotiate deadlines and compensation with my new employer. I've also enjoyed getting to know Kate personally -- she is extremely warm and friendly -- and I would not hesitate to refer my law school friends to her for jobs in the Bay Area. Thanks, Kate!
