Recruiters Have Insider Knowledge About Legal Job Opportunities
Professional recruiters may perform as many as 100 "research assignments" a day which will identify new and little known legal job opportunities that may not be available to individuals doing their own research.  Most recruiters also have extensive networks of business associates in the legal industry who become aware of legal jobs before they are ever advertised.

Legal Recruiters Match Your Skills With The Right Law Firm
Professional legal recruiters take the time to understand the skills and personality of the candidate as well as the needs and culture of law firms looking to fill legal jobs.  This knowledge helps legal recruiters properly match candidates with firms who have a culture that will be appropriate for them.

Legal Recruiters Can Get Your Foot In The Door
Because many legal recruiters have existing relationships with law firms, it is often easier for them to help job candidates get a foot in the door of law firms especially in a competitive job market. Because of their existing relationship and credibility, many law firms trust that a legal recruiter is likely to send them candidates that match their law firm's requirements.  Therefore, law firms are more willing to schedule interviews with candidates recommended by credible legal recruiters.
Legal Recruiters Help Maintain Confidentiality
Often attorneys are doing a job search while they are still working which can cause problems especially if they want to keep their job search confidential.  When an attorney sends a resume blindly to a law firm, they're not sure who exactly will see it. Since the legal industry is often a very small community where many people know each other, legal recruiters work hard to make sure that a job candidate's job search is kept confidential.
Legal Recruiters Can Help Negotiate Your Salary
Getting the right salary takes skills that professional legal recruiters have honed over many years of working with job candidates and law firms.  A legal recruiter can help job candidates negotiate fair salaries while lessening the tension and stress levels for candidates that often accompany salary negotiations.
