What People Are Saying

For the past 15+ years, Mara has been my go-to recruiter when I need to fill an open position in our law department. She does an excellent job of sourcing multiple candidates who match our needs and fit our culture. I am very comfortable with Mara accurately representing our interests and vetting the candidates for us. I trust her judgment, and I trust that she will do right by us and the candidates. I respect her ethics and the transparent approach that she takes to recruiting. I would wholeheartedly recommend Mara - without any reservations. She has been a fantastic partner.

Global Consumer Product Company

Working collaboratively with Mara allowed me to explore and evaluate different career paths, and put in motion a plan for moving toward my chosen path. Mara was immensely helpful, professional, and always treated me as if I was her main priority. After being connected with a firm in the geography and practice type that I was looking for, and ultimately joining that firm, my career path took off immensely. Without taking that first leap of faith, I am confident that my career would have ended up quite different. Since working with Mara, she and I have continued to stay in touch, and I always look forward to reconnecting and hearing her perspective on the current industry climate.

Mara is the consummate professional and finds matches so both sides are happy. She listens well to the needs of her clients and does an excellent job of matching your needs with the potential employer's needs. She gave me unique insights to both the job and the company, and was able to ensure that my biggest needs were met. I could not recommend anyone more wholeheartedly.

Corporate Counsel

Private Global Company

Mara was a thoughtful, conscientious, and impressive recruiter. She had a deep understanding of the business that was hiring and took the time to understand my background and career aspirations. Solely due to her involvement as the recruiter, I considered and ultimately took a job that I had been contacted about previously but had previously turned down. I am so grateful that I met Mara because I have been happily in my job for many years. I recommend any attorneys looking for a job change to her. She is excellent.
