Law firms often view candidates who are represented by recruiters as being in the upper echelon of potential candidates because they know that recruiters actively seek these individuals out for placement.  Recruiters make it a point to get to know their clients (attorneys, practice groups, culture, environment, etc.) and knowing their clients ensures that recruiters will be able to effectively work with the candidates matching them with the appropriate law firm opportunities.  Recruiters converse with attorney candidates and firms daily and, thus, are very aware of trends and circumstances in the marketplace (hiring processes, compensation, bonuses, billable hours, partnership tracks, firm cultures and environments, employee retention rates, etc.) and having the familiarity and experience with law firms is critical to knowing how to place candidates with the best opportunities.  During the interview process, recruiters will receive direct, candid, and honest feedback from the firm that the candidate may never receive on his or her own, as well as provide the candidate with the same direct feedback.  A recruiter acts as a go-between (he or she can place blame for problems that arise on himself/herself instead of on the candidate) and is trained to handle situations unemotionally.  The candidate pays nothing for the recruiter’s services and a recruiter saves candidates valuable time by engaging on their behalf. 

At Grimes Legal Inc., we customize our process each and every time to guarantee that the candidate’s specific needs are met. We’re frequently told that we are vastly different from our competitors.  We don’t just collect resumes and send them out to everyone. We will not communicate with any potential law firm without a candidate’s prior express permission in order to keep your search completely confidential.  Because we have good relationships with the hiring authorities at firms and interact daily, we make sure we are your best market source.  We know that published company information is not sufficient. Grimes Legal generally has "insider information" regarding law firms, such as details about culture, environment, specific needs and employee retention which are usually unpublished.  We will work with you personally through the whole process and are dedicated to your satisfaction, even after the placement process is complete.  This is not just a one time transaction, you become part of our Grimes Legal family.

We are headquartered in Bowling Green, Kentucky, but we provide service to the entirety of the United States. Wherever you are in the country, we're here to help you find the opportunity you need to help better your career.
