Benjamin Fliegel was appointed as Reed Smith’s new managing partner for their Los Angeles office.
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!

I have worked with recruiters in the past, but none like Joe. The level of personal attention he provides distinguishes him from the rest. He has an incredible ability to not only establish a personal rapport but see beyond what is written on paper and ask the right questions. Patient and insightful, I very much enjoyed working with him and have already recommended him to friends.

Joe is a true professional. Continuous communication with detailed and timely follow-up regarding the job search and interview process made my recent job transition a breeze. It is clear that he researches each of his candidates and advocates on their behalf versus simply submitting a name and a resume and moving on to the next candidate. I have and will continue to recommend Joe to any law professional looking to make a job change.

It was such a pleasure to work with Joe. He was very knowledgeable about the legal hiring process and was great at keeping me updated on any developments. He also has a great personality, is easy to talk with, and has such a passion for what he does. I would definitely consider working with Joe again in the future if I were ever in need of a new job.

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.

I would recommend Joe to anyone searching for a new role or a new employee. Joe has an uncanny knack for fitting the right people with the right companies. I wasn’t even really looking for a new opportunity when Joe contacted me, but it was the perfect fit! Joe worked hard to represent my interests and make sure that my transition to a new firm would be as seamless as possible, even when there were a few transition challenges due to timing. Joe was always available to me and so great to work with. Thanks, Joe!

Joseph Mayer was an amazing recruiter who assisted me in obtaining a permanent position in the same healthcare field that I enjoyed working in. He was on the lookout for opportunities that fit my skill set and had open communication that always kept me informed on how my job search was going. I highly recommend him as a recruiter for your job search needs. Thank you, Joe, for going above and beyond to help me find my new position!!

He is also a valuable educator as it relates to understanding the market. Joe continues to take the time to collaborate with our hiring team and has demonstrated over and over his ability to shift with our business needs. Joe excels at communication and keeping me updated with any relevant information we need to make hiring decisions. Joe has made a measurable difference in our firm. Highly recommend.

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.

Joe has been the best recruiter I have ever worked with. He was very informative when it came to the job I was interviewing for. He helped put me at ease when I was nervous for my interviews and gave me some great pointers about interviewing well. I was able to call him at any time if I had any questions and he was always responsive. He helped me get an amazing job offer at a global firm. I recommend working with Joe for anyone that is looking for a job.
