Recruiters Dallas, TX: Does anyone have any recommendations for recruiters in the Dallas-area? I’m an 8th year commercial litigator and I’m looking for someone with experience working with placing candidates in Big Law. Thanks for any info you can provide.

Key Choice. Best firm I’ve ever worked with. Helped me find exactly what I was looking for. Made partner this year in my fourth year post-placement. Very grateful :)

Agree on Key Choice, they recently placed me as well. They offer a personalized experience / emphasize what is best for you.

I placed an 8th year at HayBoo recently. Senior litigators take a longer search but can be done with a strategic approach. I also have a Big Law exit option in Dallas if interested. Happy to chat.

Would highly recommend checking out Key Choice Recruiting as well. Key Hemyari (the founder) is former V&E and K&E and is based in Dallas. He has great connections in Dallas.

Many of these “top recruiters” will act as if you don’t fit their criteria, and will be generally unhelpful. Go with someone you are comfortable with. Anne has always provided great advice.

Agree, always interview a recruiter and don’t just go with whomever is making the most noise about their placements on LinkedIn

So the question has been asked a few times in the main Big Law bowl but keeps getting derailed into a political issue. As someone with a more conservative disposition anyway I'm interested in the day to day of life and work in Texas as opposed to NYC (or similar).

So, what are the pros and cons of living in Texas and working in Texas Biglaw?

I’m not having much luck with recruiters or applying directly to firms and companies, so I’m thinking of hiring a career coach to help me hone my applications, cover letters, etc. Any suggestions?

He’s leaning transactional, but also open to litigation. Any insights/advice on these firms in the TX market? Any to avoid?
