Testimonials

Kind Words From Our Candidates

"I was ready to make a lateral move, but had a clear vision of what I wanted in my next firm. Alicia’s deep industry insight helped me find a firm that truly aligned with my values and culture."

"Alicia crafted a tailored search based on my goals and preferences. She proactively reached out to firms that aligned with what I was looking for and ultimately connected me with a firm that wasn’t actively hiring but saw the value in my background and experience, and brought me on board."

 "Alicia did an amazing job being creative and proactive in cultivating job opportunities for me, ultimately leading to my new role. I would recommend her to anyone looking to grow their legal career."

"I worked with Alicia over the course of a few months and she successfully helped me find my next home. Her patience, diligence, and insider knowledge of firms and their reputations were instrumental in identifying firms I wanted to interview with, and her coaching helped me land two offers at firms I would have been happy to land at. Alicia kept my wants in mind (e.g., better work-life balance, the types of matters I wanted to work on, etc.) and helped me decide on a workplace that aligned with those desires. If I had to work with a recruiter all over again, I would definitely choose to work with Alicia."

"Although I was not actively searching for a new position, Alicia reached out to me on LinkedIn with an opportunity that completely fit my niche qualifications, and was much too good to pass up. She was there every step of the way to answer any questions I had about the job generally, the hour requirement, and the firm’s benefits and she was extraordinarily responsive.

For anyone who is looking to hire a quality employee or anyone looking to make a move to a different firm, Alicia has to be at the top of your recruiter list, she is simply the best."

"I highly recommend Alicia as a legal recruiter to anyone seeking to elevate their career. She is attentive to your qualifications and desired work environment. She also provides insight on the specific firms you are interested in meeting to make you feel confident prior to your interviews. Throughout the recruiting process and beyond, she remains your biggest advocate and helps to integrate you into the best fit!" 

"Alicia was a dream to work with. She helped me with my months-long job search and believed in me the entire time. I received consistent communication from her regarding openings at firms that fit with my wants and needs, as well as actionable feedback and advice. When I received an incredible offer from a firm that checked all of my boxes, deciding whether to leave my job was still a difficult choice for me. Alicia listened to my concerns with empathy and worked tirelessly to provide me with all the data and resources I needed to make an informed decision and accept the offer. I'm overjoyed with my new chapter and grateful for the huge role Alicia played in helping me to embark on it. I can't wait to recommend her to my friends!"
