Sullivan & Cromwell adds regulatory heavyweight in London from A&O Shearman
Financial services partner Barnabas Reynolds joins Sullivan & Cromwell LLP’s London office.
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.

Permanent Placements LLC, Joe Mayer, was a great experience! Joe listened, really listened, to what our company was looking for in the “perfect” candidate. Joe sent candidates who were all qualified and a cultural fit for the position, it was difficult deciding because they were all so great. Again, thank you for listening to what our needs were and helping us fill more than one position. I look forward to working with you in the future!

Jillian is the perfect recruiter to represent you in an ever-growing competitive market. I first met Jillian when she reached out to me about switching law firms. While most recruiters approach you with an overly aggressive attitude, she came across as welcoming and understanding. She was incredibly responsive and always knew the right next steps to take. She also made sure I was prepared for every interview and had helpful tips to make sure each stage of the recruitment process was a breeze. I would highly recommend Jillian to anyone who is looking to make a switch in their career. Jillian is the perfect recruiter to represent you in an ever-growing competitive market.

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.

I’ve dealt with several legal recruiters the past few years and Joe was far and away the best to work with. When he first reached out to me, I was deep in the interview process with an opportunity I found on my own. While he did encourage me to at least consider the firm he wanted to pitch, he also provided advice and counsel on how to navigate the process I was already engaged in. It spoke volumes about Joe’s value as an ally to anyone looking for a new opportunity: he is truly there to help. I ultimately interviewed with and accepted an offer from the firm Joe pitched to me, and after starting that job I am confident it was the right fit for me. Throughout the entire process, Joe was easily accessible, and provided sage advice at every step. In short, he was instrumental in my successful job search. If a friend in the legal industry ever told me they were looking for a new opportunity, I’d immediately point them in Joe’s direction.

In the many years that I was a prospective student, graduate, and now business professional I cannot say that I have ever been more thankful for the words of advice that I received while connecting with Joseph. After having the wonderful opportunity of chatting, not only did he provide me with excellent career advice but reassurance on what the future may entail as well. I cannot say that I have ever felt more confident in my future and true calling in life until having this conversation. Joseph is a well-rounded knowledgeable individual who evidently cares about the individuals he works with and goes above and beyond to ensure that he is doing what he can to ensure proper placements and candidates he may see as a good fit for positions. And if he doesn’t, not to worry – he will provide his advice and other alternatives to help you become the best version of yourself that you can be. Will definitely be reaching out again when the search for a new challenge or opportunity approaches.

To anyone looking for your next opportunity I HIGHLY suggest working with Joe. We worked together for only a few weeks but when I say he was my biggest cheerleader I mean it. Even when I didn’t think it would work the way it did, he still spoke as though it was already a done deal! I have NEVER had a recruiter produce the results that Joe did. I will most definitely be passing his information along to all of my associates looking for new opportunities.

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!

Joseph had reached out to me regarding an opportunity he thought would be a great fit for my experience and an even better jump for my next career move. This was a position I would have otherwise never considered applying for. Not only did he help me along through the interview process, but he also always made a point to keep me apprised of all updates. He truly was a beacon of hope in the recruiting world and helped push me to see my future potential. Even after my start at this new position, Joe continued to follow up with me to check on my training and onboarding. Joseph continues to remind me of all the good recruiters can be out there. He does not just see me as a body to fill the position, but he treats me as a human with
goals and aspirations. It was not just about a commission to Joseph. It was about helping me find my happiness again and helping the firm find the leader they need to move back towards continued success. I know I have said it plenty, but I will always be thankful for Joseph reaching out to me when he did. He understands the roles he needs to fill, but also understands the kind of team player he needs in that role. It is not just about the tools one has, to Joseph, it is about the ability to use the tools they currently have in their kit.
