I’m beginning my search for Labor & Employment In-House Counsel positions. In addition to LinkedIn and Go In-House, what other resources or platforms would you recommend? Are legal recruiters typically helpful in this process?

This is just anecdotal, but I used a recruiter to get my current in-house position. I found her to be very helpful. She knew my interviewers very well because she had made several placements at the company, and she helped me prep for my interviews. That being said, I don't know how common it is to use a recruiter for in-house jobs.

It also depends on the industry. “Sexy”, industries like entertainment, technology, finance, often don’t need outside recruiters and rely on “who you know” introductions.

Super useful for a good recruiter. They can highlight your strengths with ppl who will listen.
Otherwise, would suggest you attending as many of those legal seminars and other networking activities as possible, talk to ppl, make an impression, there are many hiring managers who have roles waiting to be posted, it’s like getting a free good feels interview in there.

I echo the recruiters but I would also look through LinkedIn for in-house positions. I was able to get my current in-house position through a job posting on LinkedIn. If you also know what kind of company you'd like to work for, you can filter your search accordingly. Good luck!

I think headhunting is a very good channel. The job I'm currently doing was recommended by a headhunter, which is very professional and has also helped me secure a competitive salary and benefits.

I’ve had radio silence from a small investment bank for about a week now. I’ve completed several rounds of interviews, but last Thursday the firm reposted the job I’ve been interviewing for. On Friday the headhunter said that they’re not sourcing new candidates and it’s probably just LinkedIn automatically refreshing the listing. She said they had a busy week last week but will make a final decision this week - is the delay and radio silence a bad sign or is this typical for experienced hiring?
