At Sapphire Career Strategies,
we know that employers don't just hire to fill office space,
they hire to fill a specific need.
A recruiter's job is to help market employers to prospective
candidates, not simply to inundate you with resumes in the
hopes that something will "stick." We take the
time to educate candidates about you: your history, your
substantive practices, your culture and your people. When you
receive a resume from us, that candidate is someone who knows
about you and what you do.
When it comes to law firms, the statement we often hear from
candidates is that all firms seem the same. We believe that
law firms are as unique as the people who populate them. Our
goal is to learn as much as we can about you and what you have
to offer, so that we can do the best possible job marketing
you.
Whether you're a recruiter or hiring partner with a law firm
or counsel with an in-house legal department, when you're
looking for a new attorney, we want to help you find the right
person - someone with the skills, the energy and the
intellectual horsepower to do the work. That said, we also
want to help you find someone who will "fit" well
with your culture and community.
Our primary goal is to find that fit for you because the right
fit creates solid placements and lasting relationships. Our process is simple but thorough:
1) Before we submit resume to
you, we will learn about
your hiring needs and make sure a prospective
candidate meets that need.
2) If appropriate, we will meet
with you in your office to
learn more about your firm and the people in the department
where your need lies.
3) We will approach the person
responsible for recruiting
to pre-screen a candidate before submitting him or her.
4) We will meet with any
candidate prior to submission.
5) Once we have determined that
a candidate is appropriate
for your stated need, and only when we have authorization
from the candidate, we will present the candidate's resume
to you along with a cover letter and any other appropriate
paperwork (i.e., law school transcript, deal sheet, business
plan, etc.).
6) We will follow up on
submissions and handle the logistics
regarding scheduling interviews.
7) We will provide you with
meaningful feedback throughout the
interview process.
8) As things progress, we will
assist in providing the candidate's
references and conflict information as well as any other
information
you require to complete the process.
Our business is entirely about
relationships. Because our relationships are so important to
us, we operate with the highest ethical standards and the
utmost confidentiality and discretion before, during and after
the recruiting process.
We look forward to working with you and will be happy to
provide references at your request. |
