Any notice how many of these legal recruiters took ppp loans? Sadly not shocked, but how can they not be embarrassed to take ppp loans while still advertising jobs/recruiting and bragging about all their placements on their websites.

There’s no shame. They like all other businesses will try to continue to do business. That means advertise the limited jobs available, and use the placements they do make to market themselves. If law firms and corporations are cutting back on hiring then recruiters will be hit, a PPP loan therefore makes sense. Did a recruiter hurt you?

Idk to me it justs makes me question their credibility about all the placements they have supposedly made when they decided to take a ppp loan..that from my understanding can give each employee a max of 20k

I'm a recruiter and didn't take a PPP loan. However, I had 6 placements fees that were more than 100 days overddue from biglaw firms. Clients are paying law firms and law firms aren't paying recruiters. I was owed more than 6 figures in fees from numerous law firms, I have no base salary, and finally just got paid from all 6 last week after 6 months of waiting.

Hi there!
I completed the last round of an interview (presentation) last week. Originally they said they would be calling my references & then make an offer accordingly.
Today they updated that they'd like me to travel to their HQ (based in Nordics & I'm in London) for the final round where I'd meet the CEO, the hiring manager and a couple of people in the team.
I don't think I'm the only one in the process - even though initially the last round was the presentation.
What are your thoughts?

Need advice. I was made an offer by a national firm and I am not sure if I should take it. Comp is slightly less than my pre-Covid salary but higher than my current cut salary. They are throwing in a signing bonus which makes up for about half the difference. New place has lower billable requirement, generous bonus structure, better benefits, and leadership potential. No bonus structure at current firm. I’m overall in a good spot at current firm, but feeling a little stagnant. What would you do?
