Hi all! Lateraling for the first time as a junior. A friend recommended her recruiter but I've never worked with one before. Any tips or red flags to look out for? Thanks!

Bad: You feel pressured to apply to certain firms or leave immediately. Recruiter isn’t transparent about their process or responsive.

Good: Recruiter wants to learn about your goals to find a right fit. They dissuade you from certain positions based on what they know about a firm or the practice group. Recruiter is communicative and advocates for you at the firm (so you don’t have to send follow up emails, it all happens through the recruiter)

The recruiter should help you prepare for each interview and do prep as needed. One of the recruiters I talked to refused to do a practice interview because he was “too busy” lol

Anyone ever get something like this before? It threw me off because I was hoping for his support, understanding that it’s tough for him temporarily
