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.
