We Love Recruiting!

GLS Will Not Just "Fill the Role"

A wise person once said, 'If you love what you do, you'll never work a day in your life.' Fortunately, one of GLS's core principles is that we love recruiting. We love pairing a fantastic candidate with a fantastic employer. Our passion is contagious.

Goldberg Legal Search prides itself on understanding our clients' needs by offering curated solutions for each search, not a cookie-cutter one-size-fits-all approach. Goldberg Legal Search has the training and education of a large agency with the hunger and speed to market of a boutique. Truly the best of both worlds.

From in-house Fortune 500 companies to AmLaw 100 law firms and everything in between, we listen to companies and attorneys in order to identify long-term solutions, not just a quick fix.

For Attorneys…
YOUR NEXT MOVE, DONE RIGHT

As an attorney and recruiter, we pride ourselves on our empathy and the ability to relate. GLS can empathize, because we have been there. Having worked with and at small shops big shops and with great managers and not so great managers, an ability to relate to who you are working with is crucial in understanding the best match moving forward in your career. Attorneys are always calculating and trying to figure out plans B, C and D. When it comes to your career, shoot for Plan "A." We expect any opportunity presented to a potential candidate to be a step in their logical career progression and to last for many years.

For Clients…
BUILT FOR THE LONG HAUL

Too many recruiters push opportunities on the wrong attorneys for a quick buck. GLS is interested in the long haul. This is our passion. GLS strives to build long-lasting and meaningful relationships. Hiring a seasoned recruiter who understands the importance of lasting solutions, rather than quick fixes, is essential in making sure your hires last. We are not only finding you job opportunities. We work side by side guiding attorneys through the entire interview process. From intake, to explaining the role, to the interview, to post-interview, to resigning from their current role and post-employment. Think of GLS as a legal conciliary or rabbi who wants to help both employee and employer succeed in a long-lasting career marriage.

LEGAL RECRUITMENT FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Frequently Asked Questions

Have questions about working with a legal recruiter? Here are answers to the most common questions I hear from attorneys and firms. Don't see your question here? Reach out - I'm happy to discuss your specific situation.

Do attorneys pay for your services?
No. Our fees are paid by the hiring firm or company. There is never a cost to the attorney candidate. We work on a contingency basis, meaning we only get paid when a successful placement is made.
How do you find opportunities that aren't posted publicly?
Through 20+ years of relationships with hiring partners, general counsels, and HR leaders. Many of our opportunities are exclusive and never posted publicly.
How long does the placement process take?
Most placements take 4-8 weeks from start to finish. Associate searches typically move faster, while partner-level or specialized roles may take longer. I prioritize finding the right fit over speed and keep you informed every step of the way.
Can you help with in-house positions?
Absolutely. We place attorneys in corporate legal departments ranging from Fortune 500 companies to growing startups. In-house placements are a significant part of our practice.
