"I was so fortunate to work with Austin during most recent job transition. Having spoken with multiple recruiters during my job search, Austin was a cut above the rest and really showed that he cared about my next move not only as a client, but as a human. I couldn’t be happier with my decision to work with him and recommend him without hesitation to any attorney looking to make a lateral move. Thanks again for all your help."

Candidate - Associate

"Ginny was an outstanding partner throughout my job search. She moved with impressive speed while still being thoughtful and detail-oriented, and she kept me informed at every step so there were no surprises. Ginny took the time to understand what I was looking for and made the process feel collaborative rather than transactional. I’d highly recommend her to anyone on their search for new opportunities."

Candidate - Paralegal

"Austin was instrumental in helping me secure a new role as a lateral associate. He provided consistent support and clear communication (phone, e-mail, and text) throughout the interview process. Despite the time difference (him being in London and me based in the NY/NJ area), he remained attentive and responsive, ensuring that I felt informed and confident at each step. Even after I landed the role, Austin continued to check in to see how I was adjusting at my new firm."

Candidate - Associate

"Throughout my legal career that spans over 20 years, I have worked with and been approached by numerous legal recruiters. Austin is one of the very best and his skill set, industry knowledge, understanding of the "big picture" and demeanor set him apart from others. Austin was extremely responsive (which is particularly notable given our time difference with me being in Chicago), highly knowledgeable about the industry, professional in all of our interactions, and empathetic (a quality I truly value in other professionals). In all of our communications, Austin was articulate, clear and accurate. The process, from start to finish, went smoothly as guided by Austin. He did an excellent job of managing expectations and keeping me well-informed throughout the entire process (including checking-in with me in a consistent manner and sharing any relevant updates from the recruiting law firm)."

Candidate - Senior Counsel

"Austin worked diligently and closely with me in securing my very exciting new role. Throughout our relationship, Austin thoughtfully engaged in discussions regarding all aspects of the interview and acceptance process while sharing valuable insight and advice. He and his hard work are very much appreciated."


Candidate - Associate

"Austin invested time in getting to know me and my work and he had a keen understanding of the recruiting law firm and its needs. Austin was also patient and I never felt rushed. He saw the value of establishing a good rapport and relationship and his singular focus was not simply trying to "make the sale". Austin sees the value in and understands the "big picture". Austin astutely understands the value of his good relationships with both candidates and employers. And he understands the difference between making a single placement versus establishing longer term relationships that will reap more rewards long term."

Candidate - Senior Counsel

"Austin has an excellent demeanor and personality for this line of work. First, he is extremely personable and enjoyable to talk with, he's a great conversationalist. I always enjoyed talking with Austin and he was great at putting me at ease. Second, Austin is persistent in a most positive way. His job is to sell and he handled that very well with an appropriate level and tempo of communication. Third, Austin is positive and enthusiastic about his work and it shows! He consistently demonstrated a friendly, empathetic and upbeat demeanor and this certainly helps when the candidate is making a significant life decision. In my new position, I will look forward to opportunities to continue to work with Austin and I highly recommend him."

Candidate - Senior Counsel

"Austin is an incredible recruiter and advocate for any person looking for a new professional role. He is upfront about details and what to expect from the potential role and he communicated with me throughout the entire pre and post interview process to ensure I was comfortable with the outcome. Austin is easily the best recruiter I’ve ever worked with and made my “non negotiables” a priority when it came to finding the right fit for me professionally."
