Jillian has been the most pleasant recruiter I have worked with. Jillian provided timely updates throughout each stage of the interview process, and I believe fought for my interest with the hiring department. Thanks for everything!

Partner Recruitment Manager
Joe helped me get a job with a great law firm in downtown Chicago as I was trying to relocate from D.C. He was very knowledgeable about the position for which I was applying and truly shepherded my application through the process. He wasn’t like a lot of recruiters who submit your application and then you never hear from them again. He kept me regularly updated about where I stood among other candidates and what the next steps were. Once I got an interview, he helped me prepare, gave me some pro-tips, and even offered to get me to and from the airport. I cannot thank Joe enough for his professionalism, honesty, and encouragement.

Joe has been amazing through the entire job search process. He has a very good eye when it comes to perfectly matching candidates and new job opportunities. He walked me through the entire process and made it as seamless as possible. He is always a text or call away if anything comes up or you just need some reassurance. If you are looking for a recruiter to help you find your next chapter, contact Joe! He is brilliant at what he does. You will be in great hands with him!!

Joe is seriously a superstar! I was in a bind to move across the country in a short amount of time but wanted to have my job lined up. We spoke right after I put my resume out there. I had several interviews within that first week and had a job secured within two. He really cares about the people he is helping. _I’m so thankful for Joe and his assistance & help throughout this process. He is truly an amazing recruiter that knows what he’s doing. _
I’m finishing my 1st month and it’s all thanks to him for introducing me!

Joe is a pleasure to work with. Within two days of speaking with Joe I was scheduled to interview at a firm in downtown Chicago. Within two weeks, I was hired. Joe was extremely communicative and helpful throughout the process. If I ever had any questions, he would answer them immediately. Joe is not like other recruiters who submit your application and then disappear. I truly recommend him if you are looking to make a career move.

Working with Ana was an absolute game-changer in my recent job search. In a world where recruiters ghost you for days on end, she kept the communication consistent, clear and in real time – no guessing, no chasing. That really stood out for me. She’s the rare recruiter who is both direct and genuinely invested in getting the right fit, not just filling a role. I’m incredibly grateful for her guidance and would recommend her in a heartbeat

Jillian was a tremendous source of information and wisdom during my transition from a small management side labor and employment firm to a large national firm where navigating the do’s and don’ts was key. She really went above and beyond to make my job search easy and understood what I was looking for. Her strong contacts in the legal recruitment world gave me several options initially to pursue and consider. She really helped focus attention on the firm that would the best fit for me. I highly recommend her for others who are looking to make a change!

Joseph was excellent to work with. Very communicative but to the point. Each conversation with Joseph left me feeling more confident than the last. The entire process from submitting the resume to signing the offer letter was a breeze. I’d highly recommend Joseph.

Key Inventory Manager
Joseph is an excellent recruiter and a great person! I had never heard of Permanent Placements until I submitted my resume to LinkedIn for one position. Joe got in touch with me right away and wanted to set up a time to talk. We did, and I really liked him! I could tell he would find me a job or die trying. Joe then told me about a position at a firm I had heard of and was impressed by. He wanted to send my resume to this firm. I told him OK, and they reached out to him saying they wanted to meet me. Ultimately, I had two Zoom interviews and an eventual offer! In between the interviews, Joe made sure to get in touch and see if I had any questions or concerns. I am a nervous interviewee, so I went over my worries, and Joe & I talked them over. He was very reassuring and confident I would do well. Joe is an awesome recruiter, as I said before. He is everything one should be. When I got the offer from the firm, I sent him a thank you note expressing my gratitude. He responded back thanking me. It meant a lot that he took the additional time to acknowledge my thank you. I have been at my firm for almost five months now, and it’s a great fit! I will always be thankful to Joe and Permanent Placements for their efforts and help. It was a great experience.
