Office Manager

Law Firm

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.

Sue Haran

Senior Law Clerk | Brokerage Company

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.

Stephen Jaggers

Senior Corporate Law Clerk | Real Estate Agency

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.

Legal Clerk

Home Builder Company

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.

Director of Legal Affairs

I reached out to ZSA as we have used them in the past and we were looking to hire a paralegal. Our experience with Kareyn was excellent. She was very helpful in finding the right person (notwithstanding there were specific parameters) which she was good about following up and was engaged. I have not used other recruiters in the past and will use ZSA again in the future.

Adrian Nicolini

Nicolini Law Group | Founding / Managing Lawyer

I am the Founding/Managing Director of Nicolini Law Group and we were looking to hire a WSIB Paralegal. Dealing with Kareyn was excellent.

We would use their services again in the future.

Law School

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.

Senior Law Clerk

Investment Management Company

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.

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.

Legal Executive Assistant

Food & Support Services Company

We have requested ZSA’s assistance previously for multiple roles within our legal department and have not been disappointed. We dealt with Kareyn who was excellent; and she was very responsive and attentive to our needs. Having Kareyn respond within the hour (sometimes minutes) was extremely valuable. Once we decided upon a candidate, we were able to secure the candidate the same day. We have used other recruiters in the past and ZSA was a pleasure to work with. They have very quick response times and they understand our legal position descriptions to locate the best candidates for our Companies needs. We will use them again in the future.

Senior Law Clerk / Governance Specialist

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.

Legal Director

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.

Andrea Vaides

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.

Privacy Specialist

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.

Law Clerk

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.

Duane Booth

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.

Darlene Wasney

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.

Allyson Yang
