A Real Estate associate in New York approached us seeking advice in the first instance. She wanted to take a step up in her career, with a larger workload, and progression opportunities. After learning about her potential options and market conditions she entered into a formal process with our Senior Consultant, Daniel Sweeney.
Here's what Dan had to say about this recruitment process:
We play matchmakers, and knowing the market inside and out makes finding the perfect job so much easier. I knew the boutique firm she worked for wasn't a big-name BigLaw firm, but it had one of the best real estate teams around. With this in mind, I reached out to a top law firm that would appreciate her experience and align with the type of work she was seeking. I meticulously worked on her application, ensuring every important detail of her CV and experience stood out.
Interview preparation was a significant focus. She was invited for a full in-person round, where she impressed the interviewers with her expertise and confidence. A week later, she received and accepted an offer from the firm, which included a $30,000 sign-on bonus.
This success story shows how crucial it is to know the market and be proactive. If you're a lawyer thinking about a career move, it's super important to work with consultants who really get the market and can move fast to get you the best opportunities.
