Client Success Stories
"We often partner with Scott on our firm's legal recruiting needs. He has been a valuable resource in identifying top-tier talent for both open positions and positions we didn't even know we needed until Scott presented us with a can't-miss candidate. We know that we can rely on Scott to spend the time to learn about our needs, thoroughly research the market, and act as an advocate for our firm. When we receive a candidate from Scott, we take a very close look because he works with the highest caliber attorneys."

"I very highly recommend Scott as a legal recruiter for anyone who has decided to make a career move, or has even started to think about it. He is extremely knowledgeable about the legal market, and approaches your search with professionalism, honesty, and a focus on what is best for your career. He takes the time to learn about you and what is driving your move, so he can identify the right match from a work and cultural standpoint. Scott also takes great care to provide a comfort level so you are not concerned about confidentiality, and walks you through every step of the process."
