Why Use a Recruiter?
You are smart and computer-savvy, with friends in high places. So, why use a recruiter? Here are important reasons why smart lawyers use Abelson Legal Search at the beginning, not the end, of their job search:
• Long term job satisfaction. We are known for finding positions that best suit lawyers’ personalities, experience and career objectives. Our longevity in Philadelphia is a testament to our track record of matching associates with the positions that work - long term. As your career “matchmaker,” our goal is not short-term employment, but enduring career success. Not so with job boards.
• Best job listings. Firms and corporations often list their best positions with Abelson Legal Search to avoid being besieged with unsuitable resumes. Their time is valuable, and they pay us to find them the perfect lawyer.
• Interview “feedback.” Abelson Legal Search provides “feedback” on your interviews. Firms and legal departments often give us their reactions immediately after interviews. This information will help you hone your interview skills for future interviews. If you are concerned about your interviewing skills, we will conduct an interview practice session before your actual interview.
• Saving time. We help edit your resume and can tailor it appropriately to a specific position. No need to send out cover letters or research the names of recruiting administrators. We do that work for you.
• Job search confidentiality. A resume sent to a “blind” ad, posted on a job board, or sent directly to a firm is received by someone who may know you, but who has no obligation to preserve your privacy. Since our inception, Abelson Legal Search has guaranteed the absolute confidentiality of every candidate and client. As 17-year members of the National Association of Legal Search Consultants, we adhere to the highest ethical standards of conduct. Our voluntary membership requires we adhere to the highest standards of ethics in the industry.
• “Inside scoop” on firms. Our many years in Philadelphia give us unique insights into prospective employers. Each firm has a distinct “personality,” and your success depends largely on the extent to which your personality matches the firm’s.
• Our endorsement. Law firms and corporations know an Abelson resume has been reviewed carefully by our experienced recruiters. As one of the oldest and most established recruiting firms in Philadelphia, we have a reputation to maintain. We work with only the most qualified lawyers. Our stamp on your resume indicates your credentials have met our demanding standards.
• No fatal mistakes. Last, and most importantly, using a recruiter can help you avoid some common – and often fatal - mistakes lawyers have made in their job searches. A poorly written resume sent to the wrong person for an unsuitable position could disqualify you from being seriously considered at a firm or corporation - indefinitely. You may have only one chance at a particular firm or corporation. A seasoned Abelson Legal Search recruiter can show you the best way to present yourself to the position where you will best achieve your career goals.
