Reason
#1 – Working with only one legal recruiter eliminates your chances of having a
double submission. One of
the biggest problems facing attorneys who use multiple legal recruiters is that
they are often submitted to the same employer by different legal recruiters
which can cause them to lose the opportunity. Many employers simply aren’t willing to take the risk of a
fee dispute that could arise if they hired an attorney who was submitted by
more than one legal recruiter.
Reason
#2 – By working with one legal recruiter, the job candidate can take the time
to develop a relationship with the recruiter. When working with multiple recruiters it can be difficult to
develop a working relationship beyond the surface.
Reason
#3 – By having only one recruiter who has submitted your resume to and sent you
on interviews with their clients, you will have one source that will know you
well. That one legal recruiter
will receive feedback from their clients and can in turn share that feedback
with you. Also they will have a thorough knowledge of where you were submitted.
Of course the choice to work with
multiple legal recruiters is up to you. If you do choose to work with multiple
legal recruiters, it is important that you keep meticulous records of where you
were submitted and by whom.
