Joe was incredibly helpful with getting me my new role! He made the entire process easy to understand and made sure I stayed updated through it all. I was happy to work with him and would do so again in a heartbeat.
Margo J.
Revenue Coordinator
Joe has been a valuable resource in sourcing and on-boarding technology resources. There have been numerous situations where Joe was provided limited time to identify a resource. In many of the situations, Joe delivered a quality/qualified candidate that was awarded the position. His attention to detail, knowledge of the business, and work ethic has made him a valuable asset.

Ana is fantastic! She helped me find a firm that matched what I was looking for perfectly and was incredibly supportive and responsive throughout the entire process. Truly a pleasure to work with and would recommend her to anyone looking for a change.
Geoff H.
Senior Associate
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.

Ms. Dent was instrumental in helping me acquire a new legal position that was responsive to my interests and skillet. Her coaching and assistance were fundamental in helping me change to a new field. She would take time to handle my calls, answered any questions, then gave me pertinent advice in handling the interview process. I was ultimately placed in a job I greatly enjoy. I cannot recommend her services highly enough as she is both professional and courteous in how she handles clients. If you’re looking for a new job, definitely seek her out.

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.

Brian D.
Privacy & Cybersecurity Associate Attorney
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!
Kali R.
Family Law Legal Assistant
I first met Jillian while interviewing for a summer associate position when I was in law school. She quickly became my go-to sounding board for career moves and was perhaps the only recruiter I’ve met who made me feel like my career truly matters to her because, when all the other recruiters stopped replying, she stuck with me all along. Earlier this year, she sent me an email with the subject line “saw this and thought of you”. She was not contracted with the particular law firm, so she encouraged me to reach out directly and coached me throughout the entire interview process. She didn’t benefit from it at all, except to encourage and support someone that she believed in. And that made all the difference. It’s not an overstatement to say that I would probably not be at my current firm if it wasn’t for her.
Sebastian C.
Corporate Associate
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.
Maritza P.
Legal Support Specialist
It is a great pleasure to work with Joe. He is very attentive to our needs, and always finds the right person to fill the job – within the budget guidelines given. Joe is a very personable young man and leverages his recruiting network to find me top quality people in a very short timeframe, at the right price. Excellent interpersonal skills, good sense for business, and a great partner to have on my team.
