I just want to let you know, I'm going to have a conversation with XYZ tonight at 7.30. You guys are amazing. I will make you look great when I'm talking to him. Don't worry. I alleviated any sense of, gosh, they just start getting it. I just said to them, hey, don't worry. I'm going to be your biggest fan, but I'm here. I want to make you look good.

So I'm going to go right to them and see what the situation is. From the standpoint of, yes, I've had my hand slapped a couple of times, not many, but like you don't mean to do it. Sometimes it's by accident. You don't realize the protocol. And when that happens, they can just say, hey, this is your one chance. We understand that you didn't understand that you shouldn't be contacting them.

We understand that you didn't understand that you shouldn't be contacting them.

But when that happens, it happens a lot, honestly. I think that they're kind of used to recruiters. I mean, look, we're salespeople. You have to have a certain assertiveness in your personality to begin with. You don't want to do it all the time.

But if it's something that you feel like is going to light a fire for this particular candidate to come in, then you're just going to kind of ask for forgiveness instead of permission sometimes. Yeah.

When you're starting out in the legal industry, I think it's smart, first of all, to have a geographical area that you're working with, because that will just kind of keep your knowledge as you're making these calls, connecting with either managing partners, other recruiters, other attorneys, they're gonna know people more.

So you kind of wanna just dive into those conversations, make those calls, ask about certain firms from people that you see had worked there and left, How did you leave? Was it on good terms? If you kind of get the sense that people leave on good terms a lot and that it was more just kind of an opportunistic, I kind of hit my ceiling. Then you'll kind of get a sense to, hey, you know what?

That firm actually isn't a bad firm. They're not because you'll hear the bad firms better than more than the good firms. The good firms, you know, it's almost like if there's nothing said, then that's kind of a good that's a good talent pool to kind of, you know, to recruit for it.

But I think also most of these firms should be doing a good job of selling themselves to recruiters because they rely on us. So what I'll do is I'll call the director of the recruiting and I'll say, because the managing partners really don't have, I mean, they're not really there to sell to candidates necessarily. They're there to sell to their clients to get the book of business.

So from that standpoint, they do have a pretty good pitch there. But from a culture standpoint, from a benefit standpoint, from a path to partnership standpoint, most of the legal firms around the United States, especially, have the ability to give you even a marketing pitch book. They'll give it to you. And they'll say, this is what makes us different. These are the type of clients.

This is the path to partnership. And you'll end up learning about these firms. And then you choose what you like. You know, like personally, when I heard about a firm that said, hey, you know what, we're boutique, but we're kind of California chic where we come in, we're allowed to wear jeans as long as we look professional. You know, we work hard and play hard. That's kind of my mentality.
