The right placement occurs when the lawyer and employer's core
objectives in entering the new relationship match. When I met
Jill, I had specific goals, both short and long term. Jill
meaningfully understood and appreciated these goals, which allowed me
to trust her judgment and guidance in providing insight about open
positions. It was over two years from the time I met Jill before
I made a move. During that time, we selectively explored certain
opportunities, which based on my criteria, were few and far
between. Jill's patient perseverance helped me find exactly what
I was looking for. Jill has keen ability to understand both the lawyer and employer's
search criteria and related motives, and therefore she was highly
insightful in helping me determine whether my experience and core
attributes (as a litigator) will add unique value for the employer, and
be appreciated as such. With her help, the position I found gives
me great confidence of future success. I trusted not only Jill's
insight, but her ability to speak on my behalf.

Changing firms can be difficult, but Jill made the process
painless. She kept me informed, there was no pressure and she has
contacts at so many firms -- I felt that I had connections at each
interview! Because Jill knows what it's like to be an attorney, I really trust her
judgment. She was able to match my needs with a firm
immediately, and I did not waste time interviewing at firms where I
would not have wanted to work. I feel very confident referring people to her.

Jill
was extremely supportive and understanding throughout the entire
process. From our initial telephone conversation concerning my
goals through to the offer stage, Jill treated my goals with respect
and honesty, and I felt that I could discuss any issue or question I
had about the process. She provided critical support and insight
and kept me informed throughout the entire process. Although Jill was
working with many other clients, she always provided tremendous support
and guidance whenever requested or necessary. I couldn't have
asked for a more diligent, sincere, and effective person to work with
in making this job change. I would highly recommend Jill to
anyone looking to make a job change. She helped me make a
significant and difficult move involving changing practice areas part
way through my legal career. Her experience and familiarity with
the legal industry and community really made a difference in my being
able to accomplish this transition.

Jill took
the time to meet with me in person to discuss my priorities and goals
before we began the job search, and, from that first meeting, I knew I
had found the recruiter with whom I wanted to work. Throughout
the recruiting process, Jill was responsive to my calls and e-mails,
diligent in following up with firms, and very protective of my best
interests. Jill truly went above and beyond to ensure that I
ended up at a firm where I would be happy. What distinguishes
Jill from other recruiters I have talked with is her candor. She
gave me her honest assessment of how the firms we discussed would or
would not be a good fit for me given my goals and needs. I
definitely would (and have) referred my friends who might be looking to
make a job change.

My career move was the result of a
deliberate decision to make a change, so it was refreshing that Jill
took the time to get to know me and my career goals before identifying
the perfect employment fit. Because she truly listened, there was
no time wasted. While Jill was clearly enthusiastic about her
work, even more important was the fact that she was consistently
responsive, and was sensitive to both my confidentiality requirements
and time constraints. Jill understands that a career move is more
than just changing jobs. She makes an effort to ask the probing
questions that not only allow her to identify an appropriate employment
match but also help a candidate thoughtfully consider his or her
alternatives. You can tell that Jill finds it truly rewarding to
see her clients and candidates thrive with an ideal match of need and
skill. I would absolutely recommend Jill to a friend.

It
was difficult to make the decision to switch firms. Leaving
familiar faces and surroundings to venture into an unknown environment
can be daunting. However, I knew it would be best for my career
in the long run. Jill helped me sort out my priorities and bring
clarity to what I was looking for both in a new firm and in my career.
She then
expertly tailored my firm choices down to those most compatible with my
needs. I made my choice and immediately felt right at home at my
new firm. Jill's expertise and personal touch made the process
much easier than I thought it would be.
