I find that some law firm recruiters are very on top of things and quick to respond and some never respond and even have a sour attitude. Can anyone speak what incentivizes internal recruiters to work hard to push placements thru. Would seem fair that if their isn't an incentive that they aren't compelled to go above and beyond

I have had firm recruiters pass on candidates I submitted and then the candidate gets intro’ed by attorneys in the group and the firm has to pay me a fee. There’s nothing we can do except pitch the partners directly (which makes recruiters furious).

If there isn’t a posted need that exactly matches the candidate’s background, they won’t go out of their way to inquire with the group, even if the partner would create an opening (which I’ve had happen as well). Internal recruiters also rarely search for previously submitted candidates for new openings. In a decade, I’ve never had a firm contact me on a new opening for previously submitted candidate that is a match. You have to tell them to reconsider the candidate.

I've actually had a few recruiters follow up about previous candidates when there's a new opening, but it isn't common

You’re presuming your candidate is placeable at their firm TBH. I respond very quickly to correct fit candidates. I have some external legal recruiters that have sent me some really bad candidates that have soured their own reputations (we’re talking candidates that weren’t barred, or had lied on their resumes that fell apart in the callback).

Not saying that’s you as it’s highly unlikely that’s the case, but I’d look at the candidates you’re sending if the internal counterpart isn’t responding. May not be what they’re looking for, or you just don’t have the right read.

I agree internal recruiters receive lots of "spam." To be clear, I am referring to when you know there is interest, but you go weeks without hearing anything and when you follow up they magically are ready for next steps. What incentivizes them to keep the momentum going and not risk missing out on the candidate?

This feels much more like a hiring manager/partner question than an internal recruiter question. I feel like the internal recruiters in big law generally are very responsive but they can only get the candidates in front of the hiring partner they can’t push them to interview or to make a decision.

Partners are busy, so a good internal recruiter keeps everything moving along

Had a very unpleasant experience with the entire interview process at Paytm. First of all they kept all three rounds in a single day . It started from the morning and ended up till the final round at late evenings. After all the rounds were cleared, the HR asked for the expected package, and when I gave him my quote which was just 35% more than my current CTC, he got reluctant and said we only have a budget of an X amount which was just 10% more than my current CTC. Who on earth does that..?
