Hey yall, recent 2024 graduate from a tier 2 law school with honors, do you guys recommend a recruiter in the city who can help me find a better job, doesn’t even need to be BL, but something in the city that pays modestly well, and somewhere where my skills are transferable(litigation). Thanks in advance

I cannot speak to outside of biglaw. In the biglaw context, using a recruiter as a c/o 24 would be pointless.

Not sure how common recruiters are outside of biglaw.

You’re too junior and most firms won’t want to use (=pay) a recruiter for somebody a few months out who doesn’t yet have enough transferable experience. There are exceptions (eg, a firm under-hired at the entry level, you’re in a specialized or extremely busy practice area, etc.), but these are rare. Given how many junior attorneys have litigation experience, odds are the supply outweighs the demand. Use your network, etc.

Quick question.
I was a contractor for a big company and they just let me know that my last day is December 30th. I got this position thanks to a recruiting company that has been great and gives me benefits.
Should I:
- Continue working with the recruiting company, hoping that they will find another position for me? (as they told me they will, and when they applied me I started working with my current company within 2 weeks)
- Work with the recruiter + apply for jobs on my own?
