I had the pleasure of working with George and I was genuinely impressed by his sharp understanding of the market, thoughtful approach, and consistent professionalism; he was highly responsive, transparent, and genuinely focused on aligning opportunities with my long-term goals, making the process both efficient and seamless. I would readily recommend him to anyone seeking a strategic and reliable recruiter.
Courtney Wax Lewis joined Kirkland & Ellis LLP in Austin
I have nothing but great things to say about my experience working with Max. My job search involved relocating from New York to Texas, and he made the entire process feel seamless. He goes above and beyond, leveraging relationships with partners at top law firms to help get your foot in the door. Max was very helpful in terms of interview prep, and he consistently followed up at every stage of the process, including check-ins even after I accepted my offer. He genuinely cares about the people he works with. I highly recommend Max to anyone who is serious about making a career move.

His perseverance, wonderful communication and organisation are all great skills that contribute to him being such a fantastic recruiter.
Ryan Kidman joined Kirkland & Ellis LLP in San Francisco
I cannot recommend Kate highly enough. She knows the Bay Area market intimately and is able to leverage that knowledge to give actionable, tailored advice (down to the specific interviewer). Kate is a true counselor and advisor and it was a privilege to work with her.
Chesley Swann, Esq. joined Kirkland & Ellis LLP in New York City
Kally is extremely professional, personable, and experienced. She provided in-depth market information and useful career advice. Being able to speak with a recruiter that had actual funds market experience and know-how made a difference. In total, Kally was a pleasure to work with.
Erin Lachaal joined Kirkland & Ellis LLP in Austin
Max was super responsive and targeted in his approach. He brought opportunities to me and listened to feedback to seek out additional opportunities that may not have been available at first glance. He was a pleasure to work with!
Miranda Wheeler joined Kirkland & Ellis LLP in Los Angeles
Zsaleh is fantastic. I cannot recommend her enough. Amidst the chaos of billing 250-hour months, it felt like moving firms was impossible. However, Zsaleh made it possible with her attention to detail, great communication, and excellent follow-up. She carefully tailored her job recommendations to what I wanted so I could efficiently decide where to apply. She was also extremely supportive of me being picky about where to apply and I knew she had (and still has) my best interest at heart. Finally, Zsaleh is so warm, kind, and friendly—you will feel comfortable around her immediately, which is critical in such a stressful process. I’ve recommended her to several friends and am doing the same here. Thank you again, Zsaleh!
Aaron Shubert joined Kirkland & Ellis LLP in Dallas
Rebecca provided invaluable support during the job search, going the extra mile to help secure a new position that involved relocating across the country. Her market insights, connections with various firms, and grasp of the lateral field ensured a smooth process. I highly recommend Rebecca to anyone contemplating a lateral move!
