10 Questions to Ask Your Headhunter
My name is Dan Binstock and I’m a legal recruiter in Washington, D.C. As my first post, I wanted to link to an article that appeared in the Legal Times in November 2006.
If you are thinking of using a legal recruiter, this is one of the most important decisions you can make regarding your career.
Legal recruiters (especially in large cities like Washington, D.C.) come in all shapes, sizes, experience levels, ethics, backgrounds, etc. It is always quite shocking how little most attorneys really know about how legal recruiters work, and how little effort is usually put into researching and vetting the potential recruiter.
And I am not casting judgment, as I speak from personal experience.
When I was practicing in a large firm, I received cold calls all the time. I remember receiving a phone call from a headhunter that happened to catch my attention regarding one position. I was under the mistaken impression that just because this recruiter cold called me that she was the only person working on the search (which, in truth, was hardly the case). This was just one of the many things I was in the dark about when it came to working with legal search firms.
This article will help shed some light on the mysterious world of legal recruiting, and will arm you with some questions to ask to ensure that you are able to choose the best person to assist you. Here’s the link: http://www.law.com/jsp/article.jsp?id=1162548320507.
