Prior to conducting any search, recruiters meet with law firm clients to establish an ideal candidate profile. In order to establish a successful and long term fit between client and attorney candidate, recruiters take more into consideration than employment history alone. A number of factors are weighed including the goals, personalities, and ideals of both the candidate and the law firm or company.
Fees are only charged if a law firm or company is presented with a candidate whom they deem qualified to hire. Newman Hawkins makes that guarantee with full faith in its recruiters’ ability to screen and present only competent and desirable job candidates.
