Client and Candidate Success with ZSA

ZSA has sent me emails over the years when interesting opportunities arise. I dealt with Mike and Amrit and was placed as an associate. Amrit and Mike are both very organized, knowledgeable, candid, and my experience with them was excellent. I have used other recruiters in the past, but ZSA has been the most helpful.

I have been working with ZSA for over 5 years, and they placed me in my previous roles. I dealt with Kareyn and was placed as a Senior Law Clerk. Kareyn was excellent and very helpful in getting back to me with details pertaining to next steps with the client. I have used other recruiters in the past but ZSA is by far the best agency I have worked with.

I was placed as an associate lawyer and dealt with Orit. I had previously contacted some recruiters and looked at job postings before contacting ZSA. Orit was excellent and helped me understand what the employers were looking for and gave me good insight on the existing culture of the employer/firm etc.

Working with ZSA makes the recruitment process a breeze. From their initial reach-out to me as a potential candidate for a role through to the offer stage, ZSA provided 'white glove' service, with a focus on positive client experience. It is clear that ZSA has expertise in the legal professional market. Special thank you to Christopher and Althea.
