Candidate Success Stories

Working with ZSA was one of the best decisions of my professional career to date. I couldn’t be more satisfied with the position in which I find myself thanks in no small part to ZSA’s exceptional collective efforts. Immediately upon working with ZSA Legal Recruitment it’s clear their top priority is matching candidates with their ideal employers and that philosophy is evident in every aspect of how they furnish their services.

I’d like to specifically thank Warren who helped me navigate my transition to my new employer to such an extent that I was able to experience the switch as the accomplishment that it was as opposed to being the daunting and intimidating process that one might experience without the benefit of ZSA’s expertise and individualized approach to legal recruitment.

Orit Sinai is great and knows what she is doing. Once she figured out what I wanted she identified the ideal opportunity and worked with me to get me in. She was consistent with communication and her team was also very reliable. Highly recommend!

I recently worked with Orit as I found myself in the position of seeking a position after 20 years at the same firm. She was able to present several options for my consideration and was mindful of what I was looking for. She also found a firm that matched my description perfectly and I am happy to say I secured a position with this firm. Orit was attentive to detail, communicative and easy to work with and I would highly recommend her services.

I had a fantastic experience with ZSA Recruitment! I want to extend a special thank you to Ms. Kareyn for her exceptional support throughout the process. She was incredibly helpful in finding the right opportunity for me, consistently communicating and keeping me updated at every step. Her dedication and guidance were instrumental in helping me secure the best possible offer and position. I truly appreciate her professionalism and support. Highly recommend ZSA and especially Ms. Kareyn for anyone looking for career opportunities!

I’ve been familiar with ZSA for a long time and the company is well known in the legal industry for working with top tier clients as well as being the leading authority on comp trends in the Canadian market. I want to call out Mike and Amrit’s talent and hard work. They are truly experts at what they do. They have considerable experience which provides real value during the negotiation process because they can approach solutions with creativity and wisdom. They are super responsive, very thoughtful and engaged throughout the process, you really cannot ask for more. What makes them different from other recruiters is that they apply a win/win/win mentality with integrity and they should receive all the recognition for it. Consummate professionals in every way – its a pleasure to interact with the team.

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 and I appreciate that they take the time upfront to ensure fit and a good match, avoiding wasted efforts on both sides. Special thank you to Christopher and Althea.

I was placed as an Associate Real Estate Lawyer and dealt with Althea.  I contacted ZSA as they had a number of job postings that corresponded with my skills and interests.  I was also independently applying for positions simultaneously.  My experience with Althea was excellent and she was a pleasure to work with.   She responded promptly to all of my questions and provided helpful advice and guidance throughout the entire process.  She was also most helpful in forwarding key positions of interest to me and providing support with questions that I had during the application and offer process.  I have not previously used recruiters in the past and it was a pleasure working with ZSA and Althea and I would absolutely recommend them to colleagues who are searching for a new position.

I was placed as a Leasing Law Clerk and applied to a ZSA job advertised on Indeed.  I had a good experience with Kareyn with no issues and found the process helpful and yet discreet (i.e., not pushy or overly inquiring of every step, etc.).  My ZSA Consultant went above and beyond because she felt I was a seriously strong candidate and presented me to the company.  I have worked with numerous other recruiters but I preferred Kareyn’s and ZSA’s approach.  Sometimes recruiters act as though they are interviewing me and judging my skills and I dislike feeling like I’m having to prove myself – my CV and my past roles should speak for themselves.  I want recruiters to make me feel like they are on my side and not like I’m applying for their help; it is a mutual assisting going on.

I’d seen a posting on Indeed and reached out to Sara – resulting in being placed as a Paralegal. Sara was excellent and I had an amazing experience dealing with her. I was in a toxic workplace and Sara made me not feel guilty for leaving my previous employer. I’m very thankful for having a person with compassion guide me. Thank you Sara I appreciate all your help and looking after my best interests. I will definitely recommend ZSA.v

I was placed as an In-House Corporate Paralegal. I was referred to Sara who promptly contacted me. My experience with her was excellent and Sara was highly courteous and professional throughout the process. What was very valuable to me was that she was in constant communication and provided follow ups, and, the readiness to answer any questions. I have used other recruiters in the past but ZSA stands out among the others. Thank you to ZSA!

I was placed as a Legal Assistant and had an excellent experience dealing with Kareyn.  Kareyn was easy to chat with; she made sure I understood the process clearly;  and, she was very helpful throughout the interviewing process.  She also provided tips on improving my resume and gave me helpful notes on what to say in the interview all while being great with follow up which I found very valuable.  I have used recruiters previously and ZSA was much more involved and helpful throughout the process.

I was placed as a Family Law Clerk and dealt with Kareyn.  I have never used a recruiter in the past and reached out to her after sending resumes for almost four months with no replies.   Kareyn was excellent since the first time we talked.  She was completely engaged in the whole process.

I was placed as a Senior Compliance Analyst after applying to some job posts on LinkedIn and randomly fell on a post from Jason.  I had an excellent experience and Jason provided efficient and direct communication.  What was particularly of value to me was his help in streamlining the process and easier connection with the hiring manager.   Previously, I had not used other recruiters and feel that ZSA did a good job!

I was placed as Senior Legal Counsel and dealt with Althea.  I reached out to ZSA as I wanted to work with a third party recruiter.  My experience was excellent.  Althea effectively liaised between myself and the employer; she gave helpful feedback; and, was receptive to my concerns.  I have used other recruiters in the past but ZSA has been more responsive/constructive/helpful.

Kareyn was my consultant and I was placed as a leasing law clerk. I immediately replied to a ZSA posting on LinkedIn because I know of the excellent reputation of ZSA in the industry and felt I would be in good hands with my inquiry. Kareyn was excellent and a delight to work with. Kareyn always replied promptly to any query and I never had to wait or wonder if the email had been received. Even after hours (after 6pm) Kareyn replied to my emails. I did not expect her to but she did! Kareyn also facilitated an easy communication between myself and my new employer. Although I have previously used other recruiters, my experience with Kareyn at ZSA was 200% more friendly and efficient than with previous recruiters.

I dealt with Kareyn and was placed as a junior law clerk. She reached out to me on LinkedIn with an opportunity she believed I was suited for. I was already looking/applying for jobs so I responded to Kareyn advising I was interested in the position and she forwarded my resume to her client. Kareyn was excellent and was always easy to contact – keeping me updated every step of the way through the interviewing process until I got hired. She would check in with me after every interview and updated me almost every day. She also checked in with me after my first day on the job. She went above and beyond to help me with this opportunity and was very caring and understanding throughout the entire hiring process. I have never used recruiters in the past but my experience with ZSA and Kareyn was amazing.

Warren reached out to me on LinkedIn and I was placed as an associate. I dealt with both Warren and Harsev who were excellent. They were both so nice to work with as well as being friendly, informative and prompt to answer emails. I really valued what they brought to the process in being informative, knowledgeable and results orientated. I would not have gained this new employment without the help of ZSA.

I was placed as a Clerk/Assistant. My experience was excellent and Kareyn was absolutely terrific. We connected on LinkedIn and my attention was immediately caught with one of the positions presented. In less than 24 hours I had an introductory call with Kareyn, had my information sent to the client for their open position, and had an interview scheduled. It was the quickest and easiest process and I couldn’t be happier!

I had an excellent experience with Mike and was placed as an Associate Counsel.  Mike was diligent, punctual and patient.  He offered great insight and helped me navigate a serious career change.  Mike also provided the guidance I needed, given it had been over a decade since I changed positions.

I was introduced to Orit by a colleague a year ago and I was interested in changing practice areas. My experience was excellent and I was placed as an Associate.  Orit was prompt in her responses to me and always made herself available whenever I wanted to chat.  She was transparent throughout the process and I felt she effectively communicated between me and her client.  What was particularly helpful in the process was transparency and coordinating meetings/phone calls between me and the client.

I was placed as an associate and had an excellent experience.  Travis was fantastic.   Not only was he very responsive, but he also provided great insight throughout the entire process.

I was hired as a law clerk and had an excellent experience with Kareyn.

I engaged ZSA to find an in-house role.  I was placed as a legal counsel and had an excellent experience with Orit.  I’ve used other recruiters before but ZSA has better opportunities.

I was placed as a partner and dealt with Orit.  Orit had previously reached out and provided me with several other opportunities which were of interest.  While I wasn’t previously interested in switching firms, it was an easy choice to circle back once I revisited whether I wanted to seek out other employment.  Orit was exceptional to work with.  She took the time to listen and understand exactly what I was looking for and, unlike other recruiters who have reached out in the past, made sure to only suggest firms and opportunities that aligned with my interests.  Orit had excellent insight into the hiring process and compensation models at each of the firms, and was able to negotiate several favourable terms on my behalf.  I am truly grateful to have had Orit in my corner during this process.

I was placed as an associate and dealt with Warren and Orit. I engaged ZSA to help me look for a new opportunity after I left my previous firm, where I had been actually been placed by Warren. I have been working with Warren for over four years and he has been my absolute go-to person every time I’ve found myself looking for a new opportunity, so I did not make any efforts prior to contacting ZSA.  I reached out to Warren right away once I had made the decision to make a lateral move. My experience with Warren and Orit was excellent. Orit was always pleasant and professional.  She consistently replied to my emails promptly at all hours of the day and night – even if there were no updates, to keep me posted.  She had valuable knowledge of the marketplace and about the specific firms offering positions.  Warren, also, was very knowledgeable, professional, attentive, helpful and quick to respond to any questions or concerns I had throughout the recruitment process.  He made the process very smooth and less stressful and it is obvious that he’s very invested in his client’s and candidates.  He has also successfully placed me at two great firms.  In both cases, with his help, I was able to find a job within a matter of months with the first firm I interviewed with.  Warren was always available throughout the process to answer any questions and provide helpful tips going into the interview.  I honestly hope I never need ZSA’s services again for myself but, in the event I am looking for a new opportunity, my very first call will be to Warren at ZSA. Orit was professional, personable, organized, responsive and very encouraging, and I felt certain that she was fully engaged with the process.  Warren was there to guide me every step of the way through the hiring process.  His knowledge of the profession and his ability to provide insights and offer helpful tips going into my interview was extremely invaluable.  He was also very professional at communicating any concerns or questions that I had to my new employer, and negotiating the terms of my new contract to get me the best possible compensation package. Warren has shown a deep understanding of prospective firms’ needs as well as my knowledge and experience, which adds value to everyone involved in the hiring process.  He knows everyone, has great connections, and he actually has good relationships with all of the firms and has rightfully earned his reputation as a recruiter you can actually trust.  With all of his experience, knowledge and understanding of the market and the profession, Warren has always been able to offer helpful insights and give a me a candid and fair evaluation of my job prospects. I have used other recruiters in the past but ZSA is by far the best agency I have worked with and the only one that has successfully placed me in roles.

I had an excellent experience with Orit and was placed as Enforcement Counsel.  Orit is professional, personable and responsive.  I enjoyed communicating with her and found her guidance and encouragement throughout the hiring process to be very helpful.  Her knowledge of the market and client was also an asset.  I have used other recruiters in the past and ZSA is better than others.

I was placed as a Litigation Associate.  I engaged Mike after seeing a job posting on ZSA LinkedIn.  This was by far the best recruitment experience I have ever had.  Mike took the time to learn my practice, get to know me, and leveraged his industry contacts to arrange interviews.  Mike brought great value in that he has great connections in Vancouver, as well as insight into the different firm cultures and scope of practice.  I have used other recruiters in the past but ZSA is far superior.

I was placed as an Associate Lawyer and dealt with Orit who was referred to me personally by a friend.  I had only done some networking and a few really short applications beforehand.  My overall experience was excellent.  Orit was amazing – answering all my questions and guiding me in a process I knew very little about.  It was my first time resigning a full-time job and starting a new one, so I needed quite a bit of hand holding.  What I found particularly helpful was she analyzed the fit really well and the expectations.  Orit was probably one of the best I have come across.  I have very little experience, of course, but she is very experienced and competent, and very fun to chat with at the same time.

I was placed as a Legal Counsel and dealt with Jason who reached out to me with a cold call.  I had a good experience. Jason kept in frequent contact even when he was clearly very ill. Jason was also very patient and compassionate with my extreme anxiety in waiting for the contract to come through and prevented me from blowing the deal.  What I found of particular value was Jason making me aware of the position and submitting my application.  He facilitated execution of the contract and acted as filter for my anxious energy.  I have not used any recruiters before but would use ZSA again.  Thank you Jason!

I was placed as an Associate and dealt with Amrit.  I was looking into getting a position at a firm in downtown that would provide me with the right kind of mentorship.  Before contacting ZSA, I had applied to firm by myself and had been in contact with other recruiters; however, I was unable to secure a position.   My experience was excellent and Amrit was absolutely amazing!!!  I truly appreciated the time and effort she invested in understanding my career aspirations and aligning them with the opportunities available.  Her expertise in navigating the complexities of the job market, coupled with her insightful advice and encouragement played a pivotal role in securing this position.  Her support not only helped me secure this position but also inspired confidence in my professional endeavors.  I have been in contact with other recruiters in the past, and ZSA is so far the best team of recruiters that I have dealt with.  I will for sure use ZSA in the future, and I will highly recommend Amrit and ZSA to any friends or colleagues that I have in the legal community.

I was placed as a lawyer and dealt with Mike.  I had left the law for a while and was looking to get back into practice.  I happened to come across a ZSA ad in regard to this position and reached out.  The really attractive thing about it was that the ad indicated that the position was one where I wouldn’t have to rebuild a client base – the firm already had this in place. It was so helpful for me to know what they were looking for from the get-go as I find so many job postings are so unclear that you can end up going down a path only to learn that it isn’t what you are looking for (thereby wasting not only your own time but the others involved too).  Mike was excellent and very responsive and he made sure to make himself available to me, which I greatly appreciated.  I also did not feel like he was pushy with me and was really trying to let me determine if this was a good match.  When we spoke, he was engaging and kind, and was very much on top of what was going on.  If there was an area where he wasn’t sure of the answer, he would find out.  Overall, I really enjoyed dealing with Mike!  I really appreciated his straightforwardness in telling me about the firm’s situation and why they were looking for someone, etc.  It really helped me to figure out if this was something I would like to pursue.  Also, there was a point where I wasn’t quite sure how to broach one aspect of work (commuting/working remotely) and Mike was great to walk me through it and then act as a go-between on that issue.  He was also fantastic about following up and checking in with me (both of which I needed!).  I have been contacted, and spoken with, other recruiters in the past, but those interactions have never gone anywhere.

I was placed as an associate.  I was looking to move to a new private-practice firm in a more specialized role and with a higher compensation.   I took no steps before contacting ZSA.  My experience with Orit was excellent.  She responded to me quickly; she kept me in the loop at all times; and, she found a firm and position I believe I will be very happy with.  I found it helpful that Orit was upfront and direct, and either had answers to all of my questions or was able to get said answers quickly where she didn’t.  I would have no hesitation recommending Orit to colleagues looking to make a change.

I was placed as Senior Counsel and reached out to Orit after seeing one of her LinkedIn posts about a job opportunity.  She had reached out to connect with me on LinkedIn some time ago and was in my network, which is how I saw her post.  I cannot speak highly enough of Orit. She is extremely professional and focused on getting to know candidates well.  She invests the time to do this to ensure that she makes great matches of candidates and employers.  Orit understands this is critical to her clients’ success and her own.  I very quickly had, and continue to have, full confidence in her and would highly recommend her to anyone in my network.  Orit was candid about the job market, offered great insight and perspective about available roles, and had a lot of detailed information about the company I was considering (which showed me she really knew her client).  She was very supportive and never pressured me in any way.  I was extremely impressed with how much she was in communication with me during the interview process, helping to facilitate next steps. Orit really is a star and I am grateful to have had her support as I made my career move.  I have not used other recruiters previously but would absolutely work with Orit again and would encourage others to do so.

I was placed as a real estate lawyer. My experience with Amrit was excellent and she was great to deal with. She was responsive ; she understands the needs of employees/employers; and I would recommend her to others.

I reached out to ZSA for job assistance and was placed as a senior lawyer. My experience was excellent. Orit was a superstar! She was responsive and supportive throughout the process and she made things happen. I have used other recruiters in the past but Orit was heads and shoulders above the rest.

I engaged ZSA, and Mike, through a referral – resulting in being placed as an Associate Lawyer.  My experience was excellent and  Mike was pivotal in helping me find and secure a new opportunity.  Mike was an excellent adviser and also a great advocate.  I felt like he was really rooting for me, and having someone like that in your corner is invaluable.  As a junior, searching for a new firm presented unique challenges but Mike provided sage advice and always knew what to do!  That level of reassurance kept me grounded throughout the entire process.  It goes without saying I’d highly recommend Mike and ZSA!

I engaged ZSA, as I had worked previously with Orit, and was placed as Senior Legal Counsel and Corporate Secretary.  I had an excellent experience and Orit takes into account a candidate’s objectives and preferences before presenting opportunities.  No time was wasted on poor fits.  I particularly found it helpful that she provided insight into the legal team’s culture at the employer.  Although I have worked with other recruiters before –  ZSA does a good job of keeping tabs and staying in touch over time.

I was placed as Advisor, Legal Counsel and dealt with Orit.  I did not engage ZSA but my employer did.  The experience was excellent and I appreciated the frequent contact, poignant queries, and a desire to ensure I was the best fit for the employer and that the employer was the best fit for me.  I found Orit’s Inside knowledge of the hiring manager, the position, and the compensation from the outset very helpful.

I came to Orit Sinai as a commercial litigation partner at a national Bay Street firm who was looking to make a change. I love my firm (and have been here since I was a student), but I fell out of love with private practice and envisioned joining a top-tier in-house legal team as the next step in my career. From my first call with Orit, I could tell that she “got it”. She understood my objectives, the litigator skillset, my reasons for wanting a change, and the type of environment I was seeking. She was kind and encouraging, and gave me the confidence I needed to take the next step in my career journey. Orit is very well-connected and, as a result, has inroads to incredible opportunities. It just so happened that, on our first call, an opportunity had recently come across her desk with an organization that was perfect for me – a large Canadian company with a national presence, interesting work, competitive compensation, stellar reputation and a growing legal team. It was also close to home. Orit talked me through the details of the opportunity – everything from compensation, to hours, to the interview process. She also anchored those details within the wider market context so I could understand how the opportunity compared with others. Orit was also transparent about what she knew about the organization’s culture, reporting structure and the specific individuals that I would be reporting into. She carefully answered all of my questions (while respecting the confidentiality of the client); patiently coached me through the interview process; and, expertly facilitated the negotiation of an employment offer that I was ultimately very happy with. Throughout this entire process, Orit was responsive, honest, professional, informative, and never once pressured me to make a decision I was not ready to make. This was exactly the type of career opportunity that I was hoping for, but did not imagine I would get. Finding a suitable in-house role for litigators is rare. Finding an in-house opportunity for a litigator that checks off all of the boxes, and realizing it in a short time period, is near impossible. (Well…unless you have someone like Orit.)

I engaged ZSA as I had worked with Travis before when he placed me on a contract position which worked out really well.  I was looking for about 12 months before this placement.  My experience was excellent from the interview process to the hiring process.  Travis provided timely responses to any of the questions that I asked and with feedback following the interviews so that I was not left wondering whether or not I got the position.  He was really good at identifying positions that match with my skill set and didn’t waste my time by offering positions that weren’t a good fit.  I have been working with him for a while and my experience has always been really positive.  What was of value and very helpful to me was that Travis does a really good job balancing the interests of the candidate with the employer.  I find that he really looks out for the best interests of the candidate and is really good at keeping the candidate informed throughout the process so that they are not kept in the dark.  He is also very responsive to any questions that the candidate has (which makes what is normally a very stressful process much easier) and responds to emails immediately regardless of the time, i.e. on weekends or after hours.  I have used other recruiters in the past but my experience with ZSA was far superior.  The other recruiters did not take the time to really get to know the candidate the way that ZSA does.  My experience with ZSA has been very positive and I would be very happy to work with them again.

I was placed as a CCO and saw a posting that was of interest to me and therefore reached out to Orit. My experience with her was excellent. She was very supportive throughout the process and acted like a strong business partner. I did not make a lot of moves between companies in my career and having the support from Orit was crucial to me. Being clear on what the role was; giving extra background about the team; answering questions about the interview process; and, keeping me up to date, was very helpful and valuable to me. I have been approached by other recruiters in the past, but it was never the right fit. I recently had the privilege of working with ZSA Recruitment, and the experience was nothing short of excellent. Orit, in particular, was instrumental in guiding me through every step of the way. Her insights and support proved invaluable. I wholeheartedly recommend ZSA to anyone looking to advance their career and to engage actively with their recruiters, ask questions, and utilize them as the valuable resource they truly are. Owing to their commitment, I’ve been offered a job that aligns perfectly with my aspirations.

I reached out and responded to an ad by ZSA posted on Indeed resulting in being placed as an Office Manager. I dealt with Kareyn and my experience working with her was excellent. She brought great value to the whole hiring process which was so helpful. While I have used other recruiters in the past, I found ZSA to be better.

I worked with Orit in the past and therefore, when I was looking for a change again, she was one of the first persons I contacted. I was placed as a Litigation Counsel and my experience with her as my consultant was excellent. Orit presented me with multiple opportunities based on my preferences and experiences and, in addition to providing me with the job description, she also gave me valuable insights about the group that I would work with and the company culture. She was prompt in responding to my queries and guided me through the recruitment process. Orit represented my interests during the negotiation process and in the end, I was very happy with the offer. I have used other recruiters in the past; however, the big difference was that Orit continued to present opportunities even after I had turned down certain ones down. I have found that recruiters often ghost me if I turn down any roles.

I reached out to ZSA because I was looking for a junior lawyer position, and was having a difficult time finding postings for the role having just completed their articles. Someone suggested I contact a recruiter with ZSA, so I sent an email, and Haley called me that same day for a meeting resulting in an interview scheduled with the hiring firm the very next week. My experience with Haley was excellent. She was attentive and kind throughout the whole process and took the stress out of the “job hunt”. My only regret is not contacting her sooner. What was of value to me during the hiring process was Haley’s exceptional liaison between myself and the law firm where I was hired and her communication ability surrounding my interview, contract, and start date between me and the firm.

I was placed in a Senior Counsel role and dealt with Orit. I was using two other recruiters concurrently and this was my first time using ZSA which was referred to me through a  contact of mine. Not only did I have an excellent experience with Orit but she also brought me excellent opportunities at good, mid-sized litigation firms.

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.

I was placed as a Partner and dealt with Mike and Amrit. Previously, I had used The Counsel Network, when I was a lot more junior –  but it wasn’t formal. I reached out to ZSA as I was unhappy with the lack of work at my current firm and lack of promotion/succession plan and  spoke with my colleague at the firm who was using ZSA. My experience with  both was excellent. Amrit was very attentive to all my needs and requirements, and was always ready to present or explore new opportunities for me to consider. I also had the pleasure of working with Mike during Amrit’s vacation and, during that time, Mike was equally as responsive, available and provided sound guidance for me to be able to make a decision. It truly was a life changing experience and I owe them both a lot of gratitude. I found it particularly helpful that they were able to initially present my profile on a no-names basis which would be impossible to do if applying directly. The benefit of this is that only truly interested firms get to know my actual name and details, and further, it keeps the process confidential. ZSA consultants also helped with the decision making, selection and the debrief process which was  invaluable. Both Amrit and Mike are amazing in what they do and their strong connections to law firms are what brings immeasurable value to their process as firms are confident in moving forward when they reach out. It was such a fast process for an otherwise life changing decision that both Amrit and Mike were so helpful for.

I responded to a ZSA job posting and dealt with Orit resulting in being placed as an Associate Lawyer. Orit was kind, helpful, and cheerful throughout my dealings with her which resulted in an excellent experience. It was most helpful that based on my experience, personality, and personal history, Orit knew that I would likely be a good fit and match for her client.

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.

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 was placed as a Partner at a Bay Street firm by Orit Sinai. My experience with Orit was excellent!  She was responsive and very encouraging, and I felt certain that she was fully engaged with the process. Orit had also previously worked at the firm and her knowledge was incredible helpful that they were indeed an entrepreneurial and friendly firm. I would definitely use her services again.

I was referred to ZSA by a friend and did not make efforts to find a job independently before contacting ZSA. My experience dealing with Orit was excellent, and I was placed as an associate. Orit is well connected, organized, professional and efficient, but above all, she clearly had my best interests at heart, which made me trust her throughout the process. Orit’s knowledge of the profession and the process, from negotiating the terms of my new contract to advice on how to resign, was invaluable.

I was placed as a senior law clerk and dealt with Kareyn. I have been working with Kareyn for a couple of years, and she was my absolute go-to person when I was looking for a new opportunity. My experience with her was excellent. It is difficult to put into words how grateful I am to Kareyn for everything she has done for me – she makes you feel like you are the only one she is working for. What was of value to me was how responsive and engaged she is. Kareyn doesn’t make it feel like “just another gig” – she cares and you can feel it. I have worked with many recruiters and I can’t think of a single one in ZSA’s class. In fact, one recruiter (a sole practitioner) literally said to me, “the only recruitment firm you can actually trust is ZSA”. I honestly hope I never to need ZSA’s services again for myself but, in the event I am looking for a new opportunity, my very first call will be to Kareyn at ZSA.

ZSA is one of the top legal recruitment agencies in Canada, and I found them through Google (as ZSA shows up in the top ten results). I was placed as a Legal Clerk and dealt with Kareyn Gauthier. She has been consistently kind, responsive and courteous which made me feel very comfortable and welcome. I really valued Kareyn’s  ability to always be clear, concise, and confident in her advice. She helped streamline the process for me and prepared me well for the interview. She also set clear expectations regarding the recruitment process, the role and the organization. I am so glad I met her through ZSA and Kareyn has my highest recommendation. I had previously dealt with another agency for a role within legal but ZSA is definitely better. The other recruiter was very pushy and put me under pressure. Kareyn, on the other hand, was calm and confident which in turn, made me also feel confident and comfortable. I will definitely use ZSA again if I am looking for another role in the future. Kareyn Gauthier has my highest endorsement and I am so grateful that she helped me find my first job in Canada.

ZSA reached out to me on behalf of their client resulting in my being placed as Tax Associate. I had an excellent experience with Travis and he was extremely responsive and positive throughout. He also helped me by providing practical advice based on his experience, which reassured me when I had to make decisions. I really appreciated his guidance throughout the process.

I was placed as a paralegal and had an excellent experience dealing with Kareyn. I had previously not dealt with recruiters but responded to a ZSA posting. Kareyn brought great value to the hiring process in that she was able to connect me with the founder of the law firm for an interview and immediately thereafter, I was given an offer of employment!

I was placed as senior legal counsel and dealt with Warren. I engaged ZSA because I needed help landing my first in-house role. Prior to contacting ZSA, I was applying to jobs through LinkedIn. I had an excellent experience. Warren was very knowledgeable, professional, attentive, helpful and quick to respond to any questions or concerns I may have had throughout the recruitment process. He made the process very smooth and less stressful  and it is obvious that he’s very invested in his client’s and candidates. I had been looking for in-house opportunities for years without success. With Warren’s help, I was able to find an in-house job within a matter of months. He took the time to get to know me and matched me with two high-profile employers which were a good fit for my background and my interests. I was able to land a job with the second company I interviewed with relatively quickly. Warren was always available throughout the process to answer any questions and provide helpful tips going into the interview. I would definitely use his services again in the future and recommend him to anyone looking for a new job. Of particular value that Warren brought to the process was his ability to provide insights and offer helpful tips going into my interviews, which was extremely supportive. He was also very professional at communicating any concerns or questions that I had to my new employer. I have used other recruiters in the past but found that they were not as responsive, nor invested in the process. Warren was there to guide me every step of the way through the hiring process.

I was placed as an associate and dealt with Orit. I have had a close relationship with Orit for the last year or so, and have always kept in contact with possible opportunities. While some opportunities didn’t always feel like the right fit, Orit was always there to make sure opportunities were presented. Prior to ZSA, I contacted my network and had difficulty in landing another position. My experience was excellent and Orit  was ON IT! When push came to shove, she advocated hard for me and it did not go unnoticed. When I had another offer on the table, Orit ensured we moved quickly so I didn’t lose the amazing opportunity I was given. I truly felt like she was always looking out for me, keeping me informed, and did her very best to ensure I landed at my new home. I am so glad I listened to Orit’s concerns and I am very excited for my future at my new home! What was of particular value to me was that Orit’s network is unmatched. She knows everyone;  she knows who to talk to;  and, she does her absolute best to get you in front of the necessary people to show your face and show them who you are. Orit was always interested in hearing how I felt after each interview and always wanted to know where my head was at. I have used other recruiters in the past, but Orit was always the recruiter I knew that would find me my next forever home. ZSA is extremely organized, professional, and takes great care with their candidates to ensure they feel that their recruiter is truly advocating for their success.

I was placed as an associate and dealt with Mike, who was referred to me by a former colleague. Prior to reaching out to ZSA, I had only applied to one firm and this was my first involvement with a recruiter. My experience with Mike was excellent. He was very quick, efficient, and responsive and he took my goals and preferences into account, and made suitable recommendations. He seemed to communicate my background, needs and wishes to the potential employers very well. I loved that I did not have to write cover letters, and it was great to have an insight into which firms may be hiring even though they do not have public ads. This was really helpful and of value to me.

I reached out to Orit through a ZSA Linkedin posting resulting in being placed as a personal injury lawyer. I had not dealt with a recruiter before and my experience was excellent. Orit was very kind, enthusiastic, responsive, and helpful in securing me an interview as well as communication thereafter and execution of the employment agreement. I would certainly work with her again.

I was placed as an Associate Counsel and engaged ZSA after seeing a posting of interest and contacted Mike. My experience was excellent as Mike took the initiative to put together lists of firms for me, and then would reach out to the ones that I approved. This saved me a ton of time which was extremely valuable.

I reached out to ZSA as they appeared to be a credible company with solid contacts in the industry and really didn’t take any steps on my own due to time constraints. I was placed as a Junior Lawyer and my experience dealing with Orit was excellent. She provided exceptional insights about possible employment opportunities which were suitable for me as a candidate. She was also helpful providing guidance and support during the interviewing process. It was particularly valuable to me that she identified the appropriate roles which I was able to entrust her and her team which freed up considerable time on my end. My overall experience was great and I am extremely happy with the results.

I was placed as a Junior Associate and dealt with Orit. I wanted to find a junior associate position and saw a posting by ZSA on the weekly Ontario Court Report. I thought it was a good idea to engage with a recruiter and, prior to ZSA, I was applying for jobs through postings on the Ontario Court Reports, Indeed, and Glassdoor. Orit was excellent. She was always quick to respond and she placed a lot of effort in getting me interviews quickly. It was particularly valuable to me that she found positions that were suitable for me and she provided me with advice on how to improve on my job application. I couldn’t have been any happier with her service.

I was placed as an Office Coordinator and dealt with Kareyn. I applied online looking for a job and they reached out to me. My experience with Kareyn was excellent. She was very warm and welcoming; she was extremely understanding; and, she made sure to answer all my questions. She was also very kind, helpful, and responded very quickly. This was a great experience and what I found particularly helpful was her kind messages wishing me luck, checking in to make sure that I received all the information and the interview reminders. ZSA was very responsive and wanted to make sure I had a very positive experience.

I was placed in a Legal Counsel role although I engaged ZSA for another role. I had a good conversation with Orit about my candidacy for that role and, although I was not eligible for that role, our conversation was good as Orit asked me what I was looking for in a role and asked really good questions about where I saw my legal career going. Orit kept her promise to reach out when there was a role she saw fitting my wants and reached out for the opportunity to be put forward for the current role. Prior to reaching out to ZSA, I was just being approached by other recruiters and applying on LinkedIn for other legal counsel roles. My experience was excellent and Orit was amazing. She knew what I was looking for in a role; she knew what the company wanted; and, she paired us well. What I found particularly helpful was that Orit was good in helping me negotiate after I received an offer.

I was placed as an Associate Counsel and dealt with Orit. I engaged ZSA for assistance in securing a junior real estate or corporate position. Before contacting ZSA, I had been networking with lawyers and recruiters. I had a good experience with Orit and appreciated her awareness of the job posting and updates on my candidacy during the interview process. I also appreciated her availability to connect and willingness to answer any questions I had.

I was placed as an Associate and dealt with Travis. I had been passively reviewing Job postings in the Ontario reports and reviewing opportunities raised for me by other recruiters. Travis contacted me on LinkedIn, and my experience with him was excellent. I worked with him for over a year, and he was very understanding and supportive when I was not interested in firms/opportunities he raised and/or turned down viable offers that I was not comfortable with. He was also consistent about reaching out periodically to see if I was still in the market and encouraged me to hear out all opportunities when I was weighing multiple opportunities. This ultimately landed me a better role that I could have initially expected, or imagined. Travis brought great value in his patience and understanding regarding qualities in a new role/firm I was looking for aside from compensation. I have spoke with 5 recruiters including Travis over the last year or so. Travis was my favourite because I felt heard by him and he took the time to speak to me and check in with me before and after interviews. Travis validated my experience and hopes for a new firm where others discounted my ability and credentials to move to the type of firm that interested me.

ZSA engaged me, and I dealt with Orit, resulting in being placed as an Associate. My experience with her was excellent, and she was a pleasure to work with. I found her insight and knowledge very valuable and helpful throughout the process.

I was placed as a Senior Law Clerk and dealt with Kareyn. I saw positions ZSA had for a job on LinkedIn, even though I had applied for numerous positions on LinkedIn with no response. My experience was excellent as Kareyn provided immediate contact and was very professional and courteous. ZSA gave me the impression they were serious about helping me find employment and Kareyn was truly interested in helping me find a job. She was very committed in helping me throughout the process and was constantly in contact with positions I applied for. I have used other recruiters in the past and was not very impressed with how they treated me – it’s as if they have you in mind for one job only and no longer continue to help if that one job does not come through. Kareyn was excellent and gave me the confidence that I was dealing with someone truly interested in finding a job for me.

I was placed as a law clerk and dealt with Kareyn. I emailed ZSA and the team readily responded. My experience was excellent with clear, honest and timely feedback by Kareyn which helped me focus in giving my best in interviews. She was prompt & timely; she responded with humility; and, she was extremely supportive and went above and beyond to boost my morale to help me secure the position. I have used other recruiters before, and ZSA has an extremely talented team. I have dealt only with Kareyn, and she was superb. I wouldn’t change a thing about the entire hiring process.

I was placed as a senior law clerk and dealt with Kareyn. I engaged with ZSA because of their excellent reputation. Kareyn went above and beyond to get me the job I wanted. She even coached me on the job interview process and put my mind at ease. She told me exactly what to expect and managed my expectations with respect to salary range which I found particularly helpful. I have never used another recruiter before and, for my field, ZSA is the gold standard.

I was placed as Senior Counsel, Claims Litigation.  I had seen a job posted by ZSA on Linkedin and had worked with Amrit Rai on a previous posting before.  Amrit was very helpful, excellent to deal with, and responsive.  She was supportive; she provided good feedback and clarity throughout the process; and, she is a wonderful recruiter in my experience over 10 years. I really valued the fact that she helped focus on what the hiring company was looking for, how the recruitment process would proceed, and her follow up to make the hiring a smooth and efficient experience. I have previously used regional and national legal recruiters and ZSA is the best national recruiter in my experience, as they are very helpful to make a match and inform candidates in this process of where they stand. ZSA is the go-to for national recruiting. Additionally, I would like to add that this was a very positive experience and ZSA is an excellent recruiting firm and one of the leading legal recruiters in Canada.  I would highly recommend them to senior colleagues.

I was contacted by Kareyn and was placed as a Senior Law Clerk. My experience with her was excellent, and I was kept updated in every step of the process. Kareyn was very professional and a pleasure to deal with. She brought great value to the process by being so helpful and professional, and I felt that she really cared if I got the job. I have used other recruiters in the past, and so far ZSA was the best.

I was placed as an Associate. I tried to find a job through personal networking and cold applications for a long time. I had heard that another foreign-trained lawyer who had luck with Mike, so I reached out. My experience was excellent in that he was calm and kind and took a methodical approach to finding work which he explained thoroughly. He discussed his plan and then executed it – keeping me in the loop throughout.

I was placed as Legal Counsel and dealt with Orit Sinai. I engaged with ZSA because I was unsatisfied with the recruiter with whom I was previously conversing. My experience, overall, was exemplary. I enjoyed the entire process and was very lucky to have found Orit. Orit provided colour on every single posting I considered, and recommended steps along the way. Other recruiters don’t even compare to the diligence, guidance, comfort , and support I received from Orit. I spent a few months toying with the idea of making a change at work, but have always been apprehensive about the search and hiring process. I spoke with a few recruiters and always felt either pressured or dismissed. Had I known that working with a recruiter was as easy as working with Orit Sinai, I would’ve made the change a long time ago. Orit took the time to speak with me about my short and long term plans. Instead of sending potential positions whilst pressuring me to accept whatever was available, she took the time to provide an assessment of each role and how it matched, or didn’t match, my values and long term plans; and, if that wasn’t enough, she simply had a roster of positions and exclusive postings that were unmatched by other recruiters.

I dealt with Kareyn Gauthier and was placed as a Senior Law Clerk. I had worked with ZSA previously, so reached out when I considered looking for a new position – I had only applied to one other job on my own. Kareyn was excellent and with me every step of the way. She encouraged me and gave me confidence in regards to my skill set. Kareyn set out all the expectations from the employer and myself; what steps would be involved in the process; and the info I needed to succeed. Thanks, Kareyn, for making this such a seamless transition.

I was placed as Corporate Legal Counsel and had an excellent experience with Travis. Travis, as usual, proactively referred this opening to me. In particular, and most appreciative of Travis, is his response to inquiries and the promptness with which he does so. As well, despite being engaged by, and acting for the client, Travis is equally mindful and considerate of candidate needs and provides very useful guidance along the way. I have used other recruiters in the past, and for the most part, ZSA compares night and day to them.

I was placed as a Legal Counsel and dealt with Orit. I have worked with other recruiters in the past who reached out to me but found many more opportunities with ZSA, and Orit was not at all pushy about any job. Orit was awesome –  she was super approachable; she was always quick with responses, and she also offered a ton of opportunities.

I was placed as an Associate Counsel and dealt with Orit. I had reached out to a few recruiters before engaging ZSA but I found that ZSA made a significantly better effort to place me in a position that I was interested in compared to other recruitment firms. Orit was excellent and a pleasure to work with! She was very communicative throughout the process and always made things happen as quickly as she could. I felt as though she truly cared about my success and I really appreciated how well Orit listened to my feedback. I went on a couple of interviews and, when I told her what I didn’t like about those other interviews, she took my feedback and then found me exactly what I wanted. I appreciate how ZSA follows through and continues working with clients until they find something they like. I found that other recruiting firms would not follow up if you didn’t take the first job they presented you with. Thank you for everything! I have been recommending ZSA to other lawyers who are looking for new positions.

Kareyn had reached out to me about an opportunity, and I was placed as a Senior Law Clerk/Governance Specialist. Kareyn stands out as one of the best recruiters I have come across during my career. She is highly-effective at narrowing down the needs of candidates and paring them with the right opportunities. Kareyn is prompt and persuasive with a professional demeanour; she asks the right questions, and she operates with a sense of urgency to minimize delays. She does not try to place candidates in just any role and strives to find an excellent match. Kareyn did a great job at narrowing down the right roles to find an exceptional fit; and she knows the market and recruitment process very well, and I felt confident working with her. Dealing with Kareyn and ZSA was an outstanding experience, and I would highly recommend her.

I was placed in a Director, Legal role and have been using Orit on and off throughout my legal career. My experience with her was excellent.  Orit was quick, enthusiastic and responsive – always taking my questions or concerns seriously throughout the process.  The most important thing I find is that the recruiter be straightforward and transparent throughout the process and Orit did this. I’ve used other recruiters in the past but ZSA is superior.

I was placed as a Legal Director and dealt with Kareyn. I engaged ZSA because I was seeking for opportunities in the legal space and had applied to several roles prior to contacting ZSA. This was my first experience with a recruiter. My experience with Kareyn was excellent, and, in addition to being responsive, she understood my requirements and was very intentional about getting an outstanding opportunity for me. Kareyn’s resilience was particularly helpful.

I was placed as a law clerk and dealt with Kareyn Gauthier. I saw that ZSA was the recruiting agent for one of the job postings that I wanted to apply to. Kareyn was excellent an made sure that the hiring process from start to finish ran as smoothly as possible. It was of great value to have so much stress taken away and help to negotiate my salary. Kareyn was such a great consultant and was on top of everything every single day. She made sure to communicate with me every step of the way and even remembered my start date and emailed me to wish me good luck which meant a lot. I would definitely recommend ZSA to anyone looking for a job because of my experience with Kareyn.

I was placed as an associate and dealt with Orit Sinai. I was contacted by Warren in 2019, and then by Orit later in 2020. I liked Warren and ZSA and also really liked Orit, so I kept in touch with her over time and she helped me find this position. My experience with her was excellent. Orit was always pleasant and professional. She continuingly replied to my correspondence promptly – even if there were no updates, to keep me posted. Orit had valuable knowledge of the marketplace and about the specific firms offering positions. I have used other recruiters in the past, and ZSA is above average.

I was placed as a Privacy Specialist and dealt with Kareyn who contacted me. Kareyn was easy to work with, always available, and was timely in her responses to all my inquiries. I appreciated that Kareyn was able to walk me through the process and give me updates/status at all times.

I was placed as a Law Clerk and dealt with Kareyn Gauthier. I have had excellent guidance and successful placement from ZSA in the past; however, post-COVID, I needed assistance again and contacted them. Kareyn had a good discussion with me about the type of role I was hoping to find and linked me with opportunities that would be a mutual fit. Throughout the process, she kept me informed with status updates, and it was of great value to have frank discussions and realistic expectations. Without a doubt, ZSA has provided me with more reliable service and satisfactory results.

I was placed as a partner and dealt with Warren and Orit. When I made the decision to move, given the fundamental importance of the decision to my career, I wanted to hire a firm that I considered to be the best in the industry, and based on my experiences, ZSA met the bill. I did not make any efforts prior to contacting ZSA. From start to finish, my experience with ZSA was seamless and incredibly well managed. From the very first intake meeting, I truly appreciated the time taken to understand my practice, my current situation and my future goals. From that point on, I felt supported at every turn. Evaluating and ultimately deciding to make a lateral move as a partner was perhaps the most difficult decision I’ve had to make in my professional career, but with ZSA on my side I felt empowered and confident in my process and decision-making. Throughout the entire process, about one month from commencement to signing my offer, I felt in complete control and confident that my confidentiality was respected. Moreover, I truly appreciated the candid feedback and advice I received along the way. I never once felt pressured into making a decision, and by the end of the process I felt completely confident in my choice. I could not have been happier with how the process unfolded and its outcome. I once used a smaller recruitment firm (that had approached me for an opportunity when I was an associate). The experience was not comparable and ZSA far exceeded my (high) expectations.

I was placed as a real estate law clerk and dealt with Kareyn Gauthier. Kareyn was excellent. She  made the whole process so easy and comfortable for me. If I had any questions at any time of the day, Kareyn answered them for me whether it was via email or phone call after working hours. She followed up with me on daily basis and provided me updates. I am so grateful for Kareyn, thank you!

I was placed as an Associate General Counsel and dealt with consultant Orit Sinai. I engaged ZSA to advance my career and had made several applications at other firms. My experience with her was excellent and I found her transparency, responsiveness, and insight into the position very valuable and helpful. I have used other recruiters in the past but ZSA is superior.

I was placed as Managing Counsel and dealt with Warren Bongard. I engaged ZSA and was asked to apply through them. My experience with Warren was excellent and he was very responsive and approachable. He took the time to get to know me; he kept me updated on the recruitment process; and, I really liked his honest and personal approach. The value that he brought to the hiring process was providing me with insights that helped me prepare for interviews. It was so helpful to have the support of the team and to be able to contact them with my questions. I have used other recruiters in the past but I liked the personal attention and support I received from ZSA and everyone was very responsive and caring. I felt comfortable dealing with Warren and the firm and I did not have that experience with other recruiters. Thank you ZSA for helping me find the perfect job.

I was placed as a Legal Affairs Officer and dealt with Kareyn Gauthier. Previously, I had been conducting my own searches and ZSA reached out to me on LinkedIn about this opportunity. Kareyn was outstanding throughout the process and kept me up to date while consistently following up on things I needed to do. I sincerely felt she believed in me for the role and that is something I greatly appreciated. I had not used a recruiter before and my first time was a great experience. Again, a big thank you to Kareyn for steering me through this process to become a part of a team that I can further my mission to elevate what paralegals can do.

ZSA is unlike any other agency, and Dominique Tardif is certainly in it for something! Mrs. Tardif constantly strives to give the best of herself in her work by ensuring, to any extent possible and reasonable, that the expectations of the job seeker are met. I received attentive service, rigorous follow-ups and a real understanding of what I was looking for in terms of position as a lawyer. I warmly recommend ZSA and wish a long professional life to Mrs. Tardif, whose dedication to work and the excellence of her services are well established.

I contacted ZSA because I had used Warren Bongard in the past. I did contact another recruiter, but did not proceed with them. Warren is excellent in every respect. He understands the market, he understands your needs and he knows the right strategy. He is also a believer and will never give up. He is excellent in following up and communicating. I’ve used a recruiter once before and ZSA was by far my best experience!

Travis brought highly valued collaboration and insight into the search process. This included providing feedback on my résumé, a sense of the market, and, of course, presenting appropriate opportunities based on his having a thorough understanding of me as a candidate. Similarly, when supporting me as a candidate for a role, he was able to present me very well. When it came to the actual hiring process, Travis helped manage mutual expectations which greatly supported us swiftly crossing the finish line. I could not have asked for a more pleasant experience.

Amrit had good insight as to the details of the offer, and what the employer was really looking for, in addition to having some great interview tips. I have used other recruiters in the past, but would return to ZSA as they seem to focus just as much on the potential candidates as they do the employers.

I had previously worked with ZSA and was so impressed with the service I received that I didn’t hesitate to contact ZSA this time. They are professional and also very caring. They took the trouble to connect with me and find out what I was looking for. Compared to other recruiters, ZSA is by far the best!

I was placed into a legal administrative assistant position. ZSA was quick to reply to my emails and was always there to answer any questions I had along the way. I really appreciated how quickly they communicated with both my potential employer and I whenever an issue arose. Without ZSA, I know I wouldn’t have been hired as quickly and efficiently as I was. They also provided me with valuable background information on the companies and positions they were hiring. I really liked how they were able to narrow down positions to those that were of interest to me. I will absolutely recommend ZSA to anyone I know who is looking for a career in the legal field.

I was pleased that ZSA was advertising for a position of interest in Vancouver. My ZSA Consultant was great to work with! I appreciate ZSA’s honesty and the dedication provided to their clients and job applicants. I found that working with a local ZSA Consultant permitted me to be considered more seriously by the prospective employer than would have been the case otherwise. I believe that ZSA is a substantially superior recruiter compared to others I have used.

I was looking for a more senior level position, and felt that ZSA would help connect me with a great firm and ensure a good fit. I had applied for postings I had seen on my own, but I either never got an interview or when I had taken the job, the firm did not feel like a good fit. Working with ZSA was fantastic! They found me a Senior Corporate Clerk position with a reputable firm. They were very attentive, responsive, and listened to my questions and concerns throughout the process. Working with ZSA opened up doors that I may not have been able to access myself. ZSA was also more thorough and truly listened to what I was looking for, compared to other recruiters I have used.

I was looking for a Legal Assistant role, and contacted ZSA because of their good reputation in Vancouver. They were amazing every step of the way! They were supportive and very knowledgeable as well as quick to respond to calls or emails. I can’t say enough great things about my experience with ZSA. ZSA is so much better than other recruitment firms!

ZSA contacted me regarding a position they thought would be a great fit. They were very encouraging and positive in our initial contacts and interview. They provided me with great insight on preparing for interviews, tips on the interview process, and advice on negotiating salary and benefits, which I found very helpful. My experience with ZSA was positive in all respects!

I reached out to ZSA in search of a more stable opportunity, where I connected with Amrit who was fantastic in every way. She ended up pitching several opportunities to me, the last of which was the perfect match for what I was looking for. She kept me up to date throughout the entire process, and was always available for any questions. Amrit had good insight as to the details of the offer, and what the employer was really looking for, in addition to having some great interview tips. I have used other recruiters in the past, but would return to ZSA as they seem to focus just as much on the potential candidates as they do the employers.

I was placed as a Legal Assistant with the help of my ZSA Consultant. Everyone at ZSA was very helpful and always positive. Even when I felt discouraged at times, they always reassured me and managed to make me feel better and motivated to continue my search. Over the few months I’ve been in contact with ZSA, I’ve learned lots of valuable interview tips and how the hiring process works. I have used other recruiters before, but I found ZSA to be the most helpful in my search because they really understand how to find the perfect fit for you rather than just any job.

ZSA made sure that they had a complete understanding of what I was looking for, took the time to identify my strengths and weaknesses, and made great recommendations on positions available. Even after I successfully landed the position, they there to help me out with anything I needed. They were very patient and provided me with clear and extensive information about the firms I was applying to, the duties of the positions, and the lawyers I would be working with. ZSA is much more professional and involved in the process compared to other recruitment companies I have used. I highly recommend ZSA!

With ZSA’s help, I was hired as a Corporate Immigration Lawyer. ZSA provided excellent service! I was delighted that their services did not simply end when I was offered a position. They went beyond their duties by contacting me after I was offered the position to make sure everything went smoothly and to make sure I felt confident with the transition. I have used one recruitment agency in the past and ZSA far surpasses them. ZSA is quick and the contact with the recruiter is constant. Thus, you always feel like you know what is going on and the status of the job. In addition, they made themselves available to talk with me after the interview and also after the second meeting with my employer. I found this helpful and it demonstrated exceptional client service skills. I would certainly use the services of ZSA again!

I am now an Associate Counsel at a national firm, responsible for the China practice. I engaged ZSA before, in 2004, when I was placed at then Lang Michener. I reached out to ZSA as I thought ZSA had the resources and expertise I needed. I had a very good experience working with ZSA. First, they followed up with me after another ZSA consultant I had contacted before left. Second, they were very patient and tolerant of my delay in response or wavering through the course of over half a year. If they had not followed up with me again and again, I’d have given up pursuing further discussions with their recommended firm(s). Third, I was able to talk to ZSA frankly about my feelings, concerns and requirements. Finally, they were very helpful in the offer stage – trying to obtain the best offer for me, finalizing the offer details and getting the offer signed off on time. I was approached by a couple of other recruiters outside of Canada but they were not comparable to ZSA. One recruiter was upset when I decided not to pursue further discussion with a recommended firm. I cannot think of anything that would have improved my experience. I would definitely engage the services of ZSA again in the future.

I worked with ZSA on my transition between private practice firms. They were extremely helpful in educating me on the process, preparing me for the various interviews and emphasizing my skills to my new employer. Their attention to my application was thorough and fulsome and it was a pleasure working with ZSA in my last move. I would recommend ZSA for anyone keen on learning about or seeking out other employment opportunities in the market.

I was hired in an In-house Legal position in the Financing and Capital Markets group. I contacted ZSA after seeing an ad for the position in the Ontario Reports. Overall, my experience in working with ZSA was very good! They were very personable and always available. They kept me in the loop in terms of timing and process. They offered guidance on salary expectations and were often able to give me directions in terms of what the interviewers were focusing on and interested in discussing. This was very helpful in preparing for the interviews. Overall it was a good experience and I use the services of ZSA again!

I was hired to act as the head of Canadian tax for Chubb Insurance in the role of Tax Manager.  I contacted ZSA to apply for this specific position. Chris acted as the liaison between me and the HR manager at Chubb Insurance. He also negotiated on my behalf my compensation after we had agreed on what I wanted to receive. Chris was always in constant contact making sure things were going well. He was able to debrief pre and post interview as well as post hiring. I will be using Chris again when my contract is over!  ZSA was very good compared to other recruitment firms I have used in the past and there was nothing that ZSA couldn’t have improved on. I interviewed and got the role locked up quickly. I would certainly use the services of ZSA again.

I engaged the services of ZSA after I had seen a posting on their website I was interested in. My experience with ZSA was excellent – Warren Bongard contacted me and assisted in securing my position as Senior Legal Counsel, helped me negotiate salary and benefits and gave me advice I may not have received otherwise. Warren advocated for me, getting me things I wasn’t confident I’d receive in my offer. He was always available, gave great advice and insight. ZSA was absolutely wonderful and I would definitely use their services again.

I was hired for a Litigation Legal Assistant Position. I was looking to leave my current position and found the job posting on Indeed.  I contacted ZSA regarding the position through e-mail. They were wonderful! After speaking with them on the phone, I left the telephone conversation feeling like they knew exactly what I wanted out of my next position. They understood what types of job opportunities I would be good for and that I would enjoy. Any questions I had, ZSA was able to provide answers with little wait time. Overall I have nothing negative to say about my experience with ZSA. I felt like they were looking out for me and where I would best fit rather than just trying to fill positions with bodies. I’ve used two other recruiting companies before ZSA and I found ZSA to be by far the best. The first company I used they were more concerned about just filling a position rather than finding the best fit and once I turned down an offer they stopped looking for me altogether. The second company I used was good, but they would contact me at my current job which I found to be extremely frustrating. I think ZSA did a wonderful job. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a new role.

I was hired in a Legal Assistant/Paralegal position. I would rate my experience with ZSA a 10. They made themselves very available for me in terms of questions and were excellent in communicating my wishes and concerns to the employer. They seemed very engaged in ensuring both parties were completely satisfied. I have used other recruiters and I feel like at times they are too slow or not as proactive. ZSA recommended the position to me and within a week I had the interview. I have worked with other recruiters for years that to this day have never been able to secure me a temp or permanent position. I would absolutely use ZSA again and recommend them to friends.

I was quite happy practicing law at Davies Ward Phillips & Vineberg (Montreal) but had always wondered what it would be like working in a major business centre like Hong Kong, the financial hub of the world’s fastest growing economy. It was for this reason that I approached ZSA and sought their assistance. They were extremely helpful in finding me a position at Baker & McKenzie, Hong Kong, where I currently work. I could not have imagined how challenged I would be with the work I am currently handling, whether it is handling a multi-billion dollar capital raising exercise and acquisition for a Real-Estate Investment Trust or cross-border  M&A transactions involving assets in China and across Asia. The files are extraordinarily multi-national in dimension; the clients are extremely sophisticated; and, my colleagues are very talented. As for living in Hong Kong, my wife and I are loving every minute of it. I would strongly recommend to other lawyers that they explore their dreams of working in a true global legal centre.

I recently changed the direction of my legal career by seeking a place in private practice after years as in-house counsel. Without the assistance of ZSA’s Calgary office, my transition to a practice that fit with my goals and personal values would not have been possible. They were highly attentive to my needs and sought to assist me whenever and however they could by answering questions and sharing knowledge of firm cultures. I sincerely appreciated ZSA’s positive attitude towards my job search which kept me in the right frame of mind as I approached my interviews. I am now settled at a very good firm with a rewarding practice. I wish to thank ZSA for their efforts on my behalf.

I reached out to ZSA because of their strong relationships with law firms, and their familiarity with a variety of legal work environments. I trusted ZSA to handle the process, as I was working during my job search, which eased my concerns from the beginning. I was impressed at how quickly the ZSA team was able to provide results. I was placed as a Legal Administrative Assistant at a law firm very quickly.

ZSA treated me with courtesy when I sought a new position practising law. They responded promptly, and had the time to discuss the benefits and challenges in moving law firms. ZSA handled my entire search and the job acceptance in confidence. I was very pleased with everyone at ZSA. I would recommend ZSA to other lawyers seeking new positions.

ZSA remained in contact, gave great advice, followed through, and represented me well. They also provided valuable background information on the firm I was interested in. I have used other recruitment agencies before, and ZSA is my favourite mainly because of the friendly staff.

I worked with Warren Bongard and Orit Sinai, who were both exceptional from start to finish. They were interested in understanding my goals and objectives and responsive in answering my questions along the way. They made the whole process as painless as possible. I particularly appreciated the fact that they spent the time to explain the market to me in advance of my interviews so I knew what points to emphasize with firms during the recruiting process. I would use ZSA again, without a doubt. They would be my first call if I am ever looking to make another move.

Orit reached out to me on LinkedIn. Working with her was excellent and she was amazing in taking the time to speak with me over the phone and helping me through the interview process. I was extremely fortunate to have Orit’s help as she found a great position for me. What I found particularly helpful was her excellent insight on the firm, Diamond & Diamond.

I had submitted several applications to larger firms. Coming from a boutique firm in Toronto, I was having difficulty getting the attention of larger firms, though I know I was able to do the work they wanted.  I thought having a recruiter assist might be able to get my resume in front of larger firms and have them consider me as a more serious candidate. My experience with Orit was excellent. Orit had contacted me about several positions for associates in the past year. She was engaging and friendly, and I always felt like she was on my side by really putting her all into getting me noticed. When I eventually interviewed for my current role, she answered all of my questions about the interview process and kept me informed about how I was doing. Overall, I think it really helped myself and the firm find the correct fit. Orit calmed some of my nerves post-interview about concerns that I had and helped me realize that my experience was fairly common for associates of my year level. It was helpful to know and helped me feel confident in proceeding with the next round of interviews. I had been approached by a few recruiters in the past, however I found that they often had positions I was not interested in (roles that were at firms smaller than I wanted) or they would become non-communicative if I did not want to interview for a position. ZSA (and Orit) would always reach out if she thought I was a good fit for a role, even if I had turned down other opportunities and ZSA knew my focus was on working at a mid-sized firm. It was great that I didn’t have to follow up with Orit every few months for positions – she was helpful in finding me roles before they were even posted and really helped to ease the process (in a pandemic no less) that is already quite stressful!  It definitely showed me the value of recruiting services over traditional job websites.

I was previously looking for a job when my contract was drawing to a close. My experience dealing with Orit was excellent. She not only contacted me with several opportunities and made sure to keep in contact and provide updates about the positions, but supported me throughout the entire process. I believe it helps make an application for a job more credible when a recruiter provides it to the office looking for the new hire than when you contact someone directly.

I had previously applied and interviewed for a couple positions before finding a relevant job posting through ZSA. Orit was incredibly friendly, supportive and gave me great advice about pros and cons of different positions and the negotiation process. It was great to have an “impartial” resource to navigate different job opportunities. Orit’s knowledge of the usual process and salaries etc. was valuable for me especially because I was relocating and relatively new to the legal market. While this was my first time working with a recruiter, my experience working with Orit was excellent and I would use ZSA’s services again.

I reached to ZSA as they had an ad in the Ontario Reports that I was interested in learning about. Working with Orit was excellent. Orit took the time to get to know what I was looking for and to understand my situation. She also made sure that potential firms were aware of my preferences so that I did not have to have an awkward conversation with them. Of particular value was that Orit was able to bring opportunities that were not advertised to me and she submitted me as a candidate quickly so that I did not lose out on an opportunity. Orit was wonderful and I was so glad to have met her.

I reached out to Orit at ZSA because I wanted to expand my legal skill set into a new industry to build my professional brand. Orit took the time to listen to what I was looking for and only provided postings to jobs that were suitable and appropriate given the perimeters that I provided. Orit was exceptional at coaching and mentoring throughout the job search and negotiation process. Orit developed a knowledge of what I was looking for and a thorough understanding of my background which assisted in my placement. I wouldn’t have had access or been aware of this job posting without Orit bringing it to my attention.  I have used other recruiters in the past and  ZSA has many more opportunities with employers and in house experience with brands/reputable employers. I am thankful for the services and professionalism that ZSA provided, and I would recommend Orit to others!

I had contacted ZSA a couple of years ago with respect to a job posting and ended up meeting with Warren. Recently, his colleague (Orit) contacted me to confirm my interest in a new role. I was impressed that they still had my resume on file to be able to consider me for opportunities. Orit went above and beyond in helping me through the process. Orit was available and responsive all the time. She was knowledgeable about the role and was quick to find responses to my questions. After an offer was signed, Orit and her team worked hard to complete reference and background checks in order to help me meet deadlines. In addition to all this, what I found made Orit stand out was her positive and motivating attitude throughout the whole process. She became a friend and an advisor while providing excellent and professional help with the hiring process. She truly cares about the candidate and making sure he/she is the right fit for the role. I have used other recruiters in the past, but I found ZSA to be organized, professional, and clear in terms of the job description and requirements. I also find that Warren and Orit really understood what I was looking for in my next role and provided me with the opportunity when it arose.

I was searching for new employment and connected with Orit via a mutual connection who was a fellow employment lawyer.  This was my first experience using a recruiter and my experience with Orit was excellent. She quickly recognized my needs and paired me with a great match; she consistently communicated with me; and she answered any and all questions I had. The whole process was approximately two weeks from my initial contact to signing my offer of employment.  I highly recommend Orit to any legal professional looking for employment. During our first phone call, she was professional, attentive, and had already provided me with great options by the end of the call. She was constantly available throughout the interview process and followed up with me on my first day at my new position. I was confident entering this new position with Orit’s knowledge and guidance and, an added bonus, she is down to earth and fun to work with!

I engaged with ZSA in order to make my job search easier and more efficient. Orit was excellent and a pleasure to work with. She provided advice on which firms to target; she made me aware of opportunities; and she was available for questions, provided interview feedback, and cheered me on along the way. I will recommend her to any of my colleagues looking for a position.

Orit was excellent to work with. She did such a diligent job of ensuring a fit for both sides and preparing me for each interview so that I could address their questions on-point and articulately. I had been at my job for 12 years and it took someone as competent as Orit to provide me with the comfort and support to make a move! Orit’s diligence on communicating exactly what the role entailed, along with the excellent preparation she provided was integral to making this work. This was my first time working with a recruiter, and I can’t say enough good things about my experience with Orit, I would highly recommend her to any firm and any candidate.

Prior to speaking to Amrit, I had been applying for positions on my own but felt that I was spinning my tires, as I was not sure what firms would be interested in someone with my skill set and career goals. I had previously spoken to another recruiter who thought their clients might need someone with my skill set, but nothing had come of it.

Amrit made my job search significantly shorter by suggesting firms who she thought would want someone with my skills. I knew that I wanted to work on large, complex files because I had previously excelled at that work while working on contract at a large firm. However, I had been having very little luck finding openings and securing interviews for that kind of work. I approached ZSA because I thought a recruiter might know what companies had the kind of openings I was looking for. After reviewing my career summary and other materials, Amrit suggested I interview with several firms and within a few weeks, I had a job offer.  I was very happy with my experience dealing with Amrit, she was excellent and I would use her again.

I reached out to Mike in response to a job posting online. My experience was wonderful – Mike was prompt, courteous, friendly, and made sure I was looked after when he was on holiday. He was able to connect me with a business hiring I might not have known about otherwise. While this was my first time working with a recruiter, ZSA was terrific. I would certainly use their services again, but hopefully I won’t be looking for a job for a while!

I had previously worked with Travis on a prior posting (on which I was ultimately unsuccessful) and we had kept in touch in the years after. Travis is a great recruitment partner. He listened to my concerns and we developed a multi-level strategy for my job search. He was always responsive and I felt that I always knew what was happening in respect of the process throughout. It was great to have Travis having conversations “behind the scenes” with the firm contacts. As well, I was able to access postings that I likely would not have been aware of without ZSA.

My experience with Orit was awesome – she really cared about finding the right opportunity for me. She was attentive, engaged and super helpful. I couldn’t have gotten the job without her. I have worked with other recruiters in the past, but ZSA was much more responsive – I would use their services again.

I engaged ZSA to expand the scope of my job search, and my experience with Orit was exceptional. She has a strong network, is very intuitive and it felt like she always had my interests in mind. Orit was consistent in advocating on my behalf, as well as having excellent perspective on the quality of opportunities and my fit for certain roles. This was my first time working with a recruiter, and I would utilize ZSA’s services again.

I responded to a job posting and Orit called me to discuss another posting she thought I would be a better fit for. I was just beginning my job search at the time, given I’d been with my last company for 10 years and was ready for a change of pace. Orit was very personable and we got along great. She kept in frequent touch with me throughout the interview process with Iovate, giving me helpful advice/feedback and background information. I had a very positive experience working with her and would recommend her to my peers.  Orit was available for my calls after every interaction with the company during the hiring process. She really made sure that things moved along quickly and I know from my references that detailed time was spent getting feedback on me to share with my, at the time, prospective employer. I have used other recruiters in the past and ZSA was probably my best experience.

I applied for a legal counsel position through ZSA.  Not only is Travis an outstanding professional, he addressed all of my questions and concerns. I have worked with dozens of recruiters in the past and it turns out that Travis was the most effective one which was what mattered most to me.

I engaged ZSA after applying around 25 times on my own in search for a role in a specific sector. Dealing with Mike was excellent.  He is an amazing person and I could not be happier with my experience. Mike brought great value to the hiring process in that not only did he make the connection with my current employer, but he provided great advice along the way, was super supportive, and generally made the experience positive.

I engaged ZSA because I had heard fantastic things about them from a mentor of mine.  Prior to contacting them I had done some of my own job searching and reached out to a couple other recruiters. My experience dealing with Warren Bongard was excellent and truly could not have been a more enjoyable process. Warren is the ultimate professional. He was engaged, supportive and proactive. His approach was thoughtful and collegial and instilled confidence in me that I was working with someone who was more than superficially interested in my success. What I found particularly helpful was their well-established connections with a wide variety of law firms, from national Bay Street firms to regional boutiques, coupled with the knowledge of the work environment and “fit” for each. Before contacting ZSA I had a couple conversations with Robert Half and Mirillion Group, but both were subpar in leads and their approach. ZSA is truly a preeminent firm that provides exceptional service. This should be your first call if you are seeking to explore your career options.

I wanted to litigate in Toronto. I googled and stumbled on Orit and I am beyond lucky to have done so. Orit is a consummate professional. She returned my initial call immediately, was personable and asked the right questions of me, had her finger on the pulse of the legal market and knew exactly which opportunities were available, and handled the negotiation of my offer perfectly.  Orit and Lindsay knew the market, quickly got to know me (quite well), and found me the perfect opportunity. They handled the negotiation of my offer letter. The process was seamless. The turnaround for me from meeting the ZSA team, to interview, to offer, was 3 days. I have worked with many recruiters in New York and ZSA is by far the best recruitment service I have worked with.

I had the pleasure of working with Orit in finding my ideal job!  I could not have asked for a more positive experience.

Orit is smart, patient, confident and intuitive. She is an incredible listener and has natural ability to match the right personality types to create successful working relationships, all the while turning a process that can be stressful, into one that is exciting. Orit is knowledgeable, develops great strategy and is in control of the process. From finding the perfect opportunity to closing the deal, Orit was there every step of the way.

Thank you for all your hard work and dedication!

I reached out to Orit Sinai, as I started looking into other career opportunities. Orit took the time to get to know me, and through our conversations, was convinced she knew the ideal fit(s) in terms of employer(s). She actively sought them out and was able to line up interviews for me, even when some of these firms weren’t actively looking to hire. My experience in working with her was excellent and I would not have found my ideal firm without her. I had no idea what I wanted and where I would fit in. Only through our discussions and her tenacity was I able to realize what I wanted, and receive intel as to how the firm was as an organization. Orit also got me an interview when the firm wasn’t looking to hire. I think Orit is amazing and can’t thank her enough for the time and energy she put into helping me and my career. She is a star!

I contacted Mike Race regarding a job posting with ZSA for a 1-2 year commercial real estate position. My experience with Mike was excellent. Mike is an incredible recruiter. He was helpful in guiding me through the process; contacted me regularly during  interviews; and was very quick to respond to any questions I had. It was great to have a “middle-man” in the process who had experience with the process and who kept me updated on my progress in the interview process. I have spoken to other recruiters in the past; however, I was underwhelmed. ZSA’s services were superior.

I had worked with another recruiter who, while doing good work, was not moving things along as quickly as I’d liked. Mike is excellent – very fast and a great communicator. He kept me in the loop at all times and appeared to be very well-connected in the market, letting me know what his contacts were saying and where there might be opportunities arising. While I appreciated the work of another recruiting firm I was using during the process, Mike and ZSA provided superior service. I recommended Mike to a friend, and within a week he had several offers lined up. Fantastic service.

I engaged ZSA because of Mike’s reputation. I did not apply to any jobs or complete an active search prior to engaging ZSA. Mike was excellent to work with and I will be recommending him to any friends who are hoping for a change. Mike is confident and took care of all of the little things for me, so I could concentrate on performing in the interviews and making decisions. I have used other recruiters in the past but ZSA has been far superior because I felt less pressured.

I was placed by ZSA in the position of General Counsel & Corporate Secretary.  My experience dealing with Mike was excellent. I found it particularly helpful that he was able to move things along quickly and answered my questions. ZSA is excellent compared to others I have used in the past.

I had seen Travis on my LinkedIn home page and he was one of the initial recruiters who I reached out to when I was searching for a new opportunity. I called three recruiters in total but ended up going with Travis. Dealing with Travis was excellent. The support that he gave me during the process was phenomenal. I really appreciated his ability to listen to my ‘wants’ and to be available for career discussions during my recruit. He was never pushy and was a pleasure to have in my corner as a cheerleader. I really enjoyed working with him. I chose Travis out of a series of interested recruiters and it was a great decision. Travis has great emotional intelligence and his market knowledge (and flexibility in pursuing leads) was very helpful. Some recruiters can be hyper-aggressive but Travis’ professionalism shone during my work with him. He was patient and careful in listening to my unique placement desires, even as they changed over the course of my recruit. I trusted him with my career (a great decision) and would recommend him again in a heartbeat.

I reached out to ZSA directly in response to a job posting for the Toronto Blue Jays and connected with Orit. I have not experienced a recruiter like Orit – she is a star! I found her to be responsive, transparent and knowledgeable about the entire process. I found it very helpful that she was willing to have brief phone chats prior to interviews or after to get a sense of some tips and to ground me during the process. I have been inundated by recruiters and not one of them came close to connecting with me. I found that Orit was very receptive to understanding my interests and never forced a posting on me. I also found that I was never asked to recommend friends for jobs or give peoples contact information out – I found this off putting when other recruiters did this. My experience with Orit and ZSA was excellent and I would certainly use their services again.

I often recommend Dominique to legal professionals seeking new career opportunities as well as employers looking to fill legal positions. From a job seeker’s standpoint, Dominique’s no-nonsense attitude and her concise, precise and on-point comments and advice on employers, interviewers and the legal job market in preparation for interviews allow a rare insight and advantage to any candidate able to listen and use her comments to his or her advantage. What’s more, Dominique is a pleasure to work with. If you are looking for an ace in legal recruitment, look no further.

I had engaged ZSA previously in my career, both as a candidate and as a client.  I had dealt with someone a while ago on another role and subsequently Kareyn had reached out to me more recently regarding a few roles.  I had been searching both independently, through recruiters and via my network. I had an excellent experience dealing with Kareyn and appreciated the level of attention, experience and willingness to have conversations whether directly related to a specific role or more generally about the marketplace. Kareyn was terrific! She listened; she shared her thoughts and insights; and she showed a genuine interest in helping me find a suitable role. I have used other recruiters both currently and in the past but ZSA’s lengthy experience with the legal industry definitely gives them an advantage.

My experience with ZSA was excellent. I was placed as a senior paralegal and dealt with Kareyn Gauthier. Kareyn was amazing. Even on her scheduled vacation, she went above and beyond to answer my questions and ensured that the offer went through. She always kept me in the loop; the response time was immediate; and this responsiveness brought great value to the process.

I was placed as an Associate by ZSA and my consultant was Travis Usher. I had contacted firms to discuss potential opportunities and one of the firms was working with Travis, and we later connected to discuss the position at McMillan. Working with Travis was excellent. He was diligent; he was persistent; and he communicated openly and transparently while providing helpful insights throughout our relationship. What was valuable and helpful were his insights about the job market and the McMillan role/offer.

Travis Usher of ZSA contacted me about a Legal Counsel role. In dealing with Travis, the communication, effort and professionalism (amongst other things) were excellent. ZSA provided valuable follow up information; was in regular and timely contact; and gave me strong insight throughout this process. I had not previously used any recruiters before and ZSA was first class. Travis was overall a pleasure to deal with and it was a great experience.

ZSA approached me earlier this summer for a position at Intact Financial Corporation and I decided to apply for this excellent career opportunity. Throughout the process Dominique was very present and helpful guiding me during every step. She was particularly helpful during the last step to ’close’ the offer and finalize the terms of employment. Dominique knows very well her clients and the pool of candidates from the legal community which makes ZSA so strong in its field. Thanks to ZSA and Dominique for my new job at Intact!

I was placed as a Law Clerk by ZSA and dealt with Kareyn Gauthier, who contacted me after I applied for the position on Indeed. Working with Kareyn was great and she is an excellent recruiter. I really appreciated her help and look forward to my new role.

I reached out to Orit Sinai to assist in my recruitment efforts and was placed as an Associate with Bennett Jones. Orit was great. She was responsive and very nice to work with. I particularly valued her facilitating the set-up of meetings as well as the negotiation of the offer.

I was placed as an associate at BLG. Orit contacted me for some opportunities and provided support throughout the process. She was excellent in that she was responsive, enthusiastic, reassuring, knowledgeable, and relational. The value she brought to the hiring process was to provide feedback for junior associates in evaluating their options and in providing opinions regarding career plans. What was particularly helpful was that she spoke from experience and anecdotally, which was persuasive. I have not used any recruiters previously and this was a good experience. I endorse the company, and Orit.

Warren reached out to me about a VP, Business & Legal Affairs position. My experience with him was excellent and he provided good communication – even reaching out on a weekend, which helped facilitate a conversation with the company. Warren also made the process of info-gathering easier for me and helped cut through some of the formality, allowing more casual one on one conversations with the company.

I engaged with ZSA in response to an ad I saw in the Ontario Reports and was placed in a lawyer position at Caza Saikaley by Orit Sinai. Orit was excellent as well as being very responsive. She is very knowledgeable about the legal market; she knew what the firm was looking for; and she set up meetings and interviews. I have used other recruiters before but ZSA was better. ZSA knew of more openings and was more responsive.

I had started to look at jobs online without a lot of seriousness and Warren was recommended to me by a family member who connected us.  My experience with him was excellent and the value that Warren brought to the hiring process was finding the right position for me and negotiating on my behalf.  I had never used a recruiter before and Warren was a huge help. He listened to me when I told him what I was looking for and found the right position at what I am confident will be the right firm!

I wasn’t looking for an opportunity until Travis reached out to me about a Senior Manager, Legal position.  I would rate Travis as excellent and it was a pleasure working with him and ZSA as they are extremely professional, knowledgeable and helpful. Any query I had, or assistance I needed, Travis would respond within minutes. It was a great experience and I valued him helping me throughout the recruitment process, through all my queries and coordination with the company, and providing any assistance I required.

I dealt with Travis and was placed as Legal Counsel with the Canadian Association of Professional Employees. Travis was great. I had contacted him months ago and he told me that the job market wasn’t great at the time but also that he would follow up with me when things improved. Months later, I received a message from him about a great legal counsel position, and soon after, I had my first interview. Travis helped me all along the way during the interview process, and eventually, I received an offer.

I was placed as an Executive Assistant and dealt with Kareyn. She was excellent and super easy to work with. Kareyn was also readily available; she acted quickly, and I appreciated the quick turnaround.

I had been passively applying and interviewing for positions over several months. Orit reached out to me on LinkedIn with some positions I found interesting and invited me to apply resulting in being placed as an Associate Lawyer. Orit was excellent and I found her friendly and helpful in answering any questions I had. It was very helpful that ZSA’s services simplified things for me. Rather than searching through countless job postings, Orit was able to recommend openings well-suited to me and my areas of interest. Orit was also able to answer questions and provide information about firms, that would likely not be found in a job posting or on a firm website.

I was placed as an Associate Lawyer and dealt with consultant Mike Race. Mike is the go-to person who is reasonable, trustworthy and extremely knowledgeable of the legal market. Mike does not make promises but he knows who to contact; he makes the contacts discreetly; and, he has sound advice for the career placement. My dealings with him were excellent. I have seen many recruiters before but I can tell you that I would not want to go anywhere else except to work with Mike Race. He works with integrity. I have used other recruiters in the past but Mike Race impressed me with his genuine care and his ability to connect with the different firms seamlessly. Mike, thank you so much for finding my new home.

I was placed as COO & General Counsel through ZSA and dealt with Mike Race. The posting was made by ZSA through LinkedIn which had been my other primary search mechanism. Mike was excellent and always took the time to understand my unique strengths, experience and goals. We had been communicating about roles for years and he has always given me great advice and perspective on the market and my position in it. He also gave great advice on how to navigate different and sometimes unique recruitment processes in the tech start-up world.  I have used other recruiters in the past but my experience with ZSA was superior.

I was placed as a Paralegal/Law Clerk and dealt with Kareyn Gauthier. Kareyn moved things along incredibly quickly, was always available and prompt in answering any questions I had, and was overall wonderful to work with. She was also very transparent which helped me negotiate my compensation package effortlessly. I have used other recruiters in the past but ZSA has been exceptional in comparison.

I was placed as Legal Counsel and dealt with Orit Sinai. Since early January, I had been applying to some positions on my own, but found it difficult to find opportunities that matched what I was looking for. I saw one posting, which requested CV’s and cover letters to be sent to Orit directly, and fortunately, doing so led to a professional connection with Orit. I had an excellent experience with her. I first reached out to Orit in respect to a posting I saw online that I thought might be interesting. When I spoke to her and provided more information about myself, she informed me that, while that posting was not aligned with my experience and career goals, she would keep me informed of other opportunities that were. Orit actually listened to what I said and sent me specific opportunities that matched what I was looking for. During the recruitment process, Orit facilitated all communications between me and the organization, which helped move things smoothly and efficiently. Her support was indispensable in reviewing the offer I received from the organization and she made herself available to me, even after hours, as I am currently dealing with extenuating circumstances with my family. I have used other recruiters in the past but ZSA is top notch! I do not think I would have been able to find such a perfect match without Orit. After our first conversation, my career “wish list” was turning into postings Orit sent my way. I felt heard and supported. Orit also went above and beyond to facilitate the hiring process, which made my life easier. Orit was always on my side and I could not recommend Orit or ZSA highly enough.
