Attorney Recruiting Manager, Large International Law Firm

We reached out to McCormack Schreiber to help us with our search for a General Counsel, but we were not sure about the timing of hiring someone for that role. They listened to our concerns and suggested that we try working with some very talented attorneys on a contract basis until we had a clearer picture of our personnel timing. We were amazed by the roster of talent they had available for a contract position–the backgrounds were truly impressive. We were so impressed with the work of the attorney they introduced to us for a contract role that we eventually made him our General Counsel. I highly recommend McCormack Schreiber for any contract, permanent, or, as in our case, contract to permanent legal staffing needs.

McCormack Schreiber streamlines our hiring process by presenting me with quality candidates rather than simply sending me bundles of resumes. Through this thoughtful advanced screening, we are able to more quickly move toward a successful placement. The communication flow with McCormack Schreiber is excellent. Their follow-through is terrific which is critical because in addition to being the hiring partner I have a busy and demanding practice.

Candidate Testimonials

I worked with Nancy Carey on my most recent career move. Nancy approached me about an opportunity and was great to work with throughout the hiring process – from submitting my resume to working through the offer details. Nancy always candidly answered my questions and provided me with as much insight as possible. She is friendly and approachable, so I felt entirely comfortable asking her questions which, in the past, I was uncomfortable asking recruiters. As a big law alum, she is very knowledgeable about the legal industry and what firms prize in candidates. She is a tremendous ally to have in your corner, and I would wholeheartedly recommend her. She is wonderful personally and professionally!
