When working with a legal recruiter, a legal professional needs to know that there are certain rules of etiquette that must be followed at all times.
1.    Always maintain strict confidentiality and proper professional boundaries when working with a legal recruiter.  Legal professionals should remember that legal recruiters are in the business of "valuable information."  What this means is that if a legal professional is given information about a legal job opportunity, the legal professional should not contact the employer directly, nor should they share that information with family and friends so that others can contact the employer directly.
2.    Honesty is the best policy; therefore a legal professional should never lie on their resume or leave out critical information about their background.  For example, if a legal professional was fired from their last job, they should let the legal recruiter know this "before" the legal recruiter submits the resume to a legal job opportunity.  An experienced legal professional can coach a legal professional on how to manage negatives such as this in a job interview.
3.    Keep the legal recruiter up-to-date on any changes in your status.  This includes changes in your law practice areas, legal career goals or the addition of new legal skills and experience.  This type of information can greatly increase the legal recruiter's ability to market a legal professional resume.
Lastly, it is very important to remember that legal recruiters have specialized knowledge about the legal job market.  So, when he/she gives you tips on how to change you resume or present yourself to increase your marketability, take those suggestions seriously.
