They are legit but charge employers a really high fee to use their services. I haven’t had much luck with them trying to find a new job. I had a call with a recruiter from their legal team a year or so ago but she didn’t give me many job opportunities to look into and told me the pay I was asking for was too high (my asking range was average in the Bay Area)

135-145k with about 7 years of in house experience, 3 years specifically as a corporate paralegal at a start up in the bay (read: do a lot of everything legal related and non legal related) where the company went through a merger and also went public, 4 yrs as a contracts assistant in NYC.

Yes, legit and as much as I don’t like recruiting firms, they’re top notch.

Completely disagree. They stockpile and lead candidates on to only put them in their system to fill the thousands of job opportunities they get in to fill.

They are legit but they accept resumes constantly and just pull from their piles for applicants for jobs needing to be filled… so, don’t be surprised if they don’t contact you. I’ve gotten one job assignment through RH Legal.

Yes, I worked with a few recruiters from there but they did leave the company. I guess it depends who attempt to work with, good luck

Yeah they are legit.

Yes, I have interviewed with them before.

Yes, I used them before years ago when I had moved to a new city. No complaints.

Currently on my 2nd long term temp assignment with them….

Legit but I haven’t had much luck with them in my area.

Yes. They are legit. They set up several interviews for me and they also help you prep for them.

Yes, I utilized once.

Yes.

Got my first 3 jobs through them

They are legit. Your experience with them will differ depending on your area, your law field and your recruiter.

I have not had any engagements with them as both me and/or the recruiter(s) decided it was not an ideal fit due to either compensation, hours and hybrid/remote or in office expectations.

So I will say take a shot and try. Just follow up if you feel you haven’t heard back from them and go from there.

Robert Half is legit. They got me temp jobs but that was a while ago. As far as permanent, I have not landed any jobs through them. I have to do a lot of follow up to get any kind of response after they submit my resume.

It depends upon the office & the recruiter.
