OUR EXPERIENCE

At SMR Legal Search, you will be working with legal recruiters who are also experienced attorneys or paralegals and possess extensive contacts in the legal and corporate community and the ear of decision makers. You will not have to explain the nuances of your practice of law. You will be working with someone who knows the issues and competing demands facing attorneys. Our recruiters have been there. They work collaboratively so that you can benefit from their collective experience, knowledge, and perspective.

OUR PROCESS

Our recruiters work with a select group of candidates at one time so that we are able to provide them with the high level of service and results that we demand of ourselves. Once you work with SMR Legal Search, you will see the difference between us and other legal recruiters. Our frequent candidate referrals attest to that.

Our recruiters will talk with you at length about your legal experience and what is most important to you in your next position. They will then only recommend positions that will meet your career and personal goals.

Your recruiter will prepare a list of firms or companies with openings that fit your criteria. She will then discuss each position with you including the office culture, growth potential and the personality of the individual who would be your direct supervisor. Once you decide which firms you would like us to make an introduction to, we will draft a detailed cover letter highlighting your academic accomplishments and work experience along with personality traits that may not be evident from looking at your resume.

We will provide you with resume writing assistance and interview skills training. These services are provided free to our candidates.

CONFIDENTIALITY

SMR Legal Search will never send your resume out to any employer without first getting your express permission for each and every position. SMR Legal Search maintains the highest degree of confidentiality and will never disclose your name or your credentials to any employer without your clear permission.

RESPONSIVENESS AND FLEXIBILITY

We know how busy attorneys are these days and how hard it is to find the time to look for a new job. We are committed to making this process as painless for you as possible. Our recruiters will schedule all interviews and make sure that you are well prepared for each and every interview.

Our recruiters will meet with and talk with you at your convenience, even if that is after hours or on the weekend, in the city or in the suburbs. They will respond to your inquiries promptly, and share with you any feedback that they receive from employers immediately.

RESULTS

SMR Legal Search will obtain the results that you are seeking. In this tough job market, you need an experienced legal recruiter who is well known in the legal community more than ever. When you send your resume on your own, it often ends up in a pile on someone's desk or lost in cyberspace. Our recruiters know the decision makers at the law firms and corporations and will ensure that your resume is seen by them. We have an excellent reputation in the legal and corporate community, and knowing that we have spoken with you and pre-screened you for the position, will make employers more likely to interview you. Finally, many of our positions are not advertised and are exclusive job listings that are not available to other recruiters.
