Enforcement Counsel

Non-profit Organization

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.

Jonathan Keslassy

Keslassy Freedman Gelfand LLP

We were looking to hire a litigation associate and engaged ZSA because Orit is the best at what she does! Prior to reaching out we had ran a couple of general public postings. She was excellent to work with – you don’t need me to tell you that Orit is the best in the business. We found her connections very helpful and valued her opinion. We have used other recruiters in the past and ZSA is above the rest; we will use their services again.

Associate Lawyer

Law firm

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.

Associate

Law firm

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.

Tanya Rocca

Senior Counsel | Bird Construction

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.

Senior Lawyer

Law firm

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.

Senior Legal Counsel and Corporate Secretary

Construction Company

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.

Advisor, Legal Counsel

IT Services and Consulting

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.

Litigator

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.)

CCO

Record Label

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.

Litigation Counsel

Government Office

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.

Senior Counsel

Law 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.

Associate Lawyer

Law Firm

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.

Associate Lawyer

Law Firm

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.

Sandra Zisckind

Managing Partner | Diamond & Diamond Lawyers LLP

I am the Managing Partner at Diamond & Diamond and dealt with Orit Sinai for her assistance in recruiting junior lawyers across Canada. Dealing with Orit was excellent and she had very quick response time with ease of scheduling with potential candidates. Of particular value was the knowledge she had on the applicants work history. While I have used other recruiters in the past, ZSA produced effective response times and quality candidates and I will use them again in the future.

Partner

Law Firm

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.

Associate

Law Firm

I was referred to ZSA by a friend and did not make efforts to find a job independently before contacting ZSA. I 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.

Associate

Law Firm

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.

Personal Injury Lawyer

Law Firm

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.

Junior Lawyer

Injury Law Firm

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.

Junior Associate

Law Firm

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.

VP, Associate General Counsel – Litigation

Financial Consultant

We engaged ZSA and dealt with Orit to assist with recruiting litigation counsel. Other than informal outreach to contacts and law firm partners, we did not make any recruitment efforts before contacting ZSA. Our experience with Orit was excellent. She is communicative, persuasive, personable, and extremely knowledgeable of recruitment trends and candidate expectations. Orit was incredibly timely, presenting a range of candidates for review within a matter of days. Her insights into salary expectations and market rates were extremely helpful in setting internal expectations. I would use the services of ZSA again in the future.

Legal Counsel

Transport Company

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.

Associate Counsel

Community Center

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.

Associate

Law Firm

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.
