Stephanie Moss

She broke our 20 plus year top first year record and has been a top producer every year since then in the legal recruiting space. Super happy to have you with us. And Jen, I'll let you tell us a little bit more about you and your niche, and then we'll dive into our topic. Thank you so much, Steph.

We're super. Super thankful to have you. So today, Jen, my understanding is you are going to lead us through a little bit of a discussion as it relates to partnership versus vendor, all that stuff in the legal recruiting business.

Super cool. I'm going to go back and ask a couple questions along the way that I think might be super helpful. I know a lot of folks get pushback from internal talent acquisition folks about working directly with a hiring manager.

And I would imagine, especially in your niche with attorneys, billing by the hour, what's some of the language or what are some of the ways that you're able to kind of break through that internal stiff farm to really get the time and the attention of the decision makers?

And then when you do that, do you ever get that proverbial slap on the wrist saying, hey, I told you not to communicate with them. And if so, how do you handle that?

Absolutely. And then going back to something else you said earlier about, you know, identifying the kind of companies that you want to work with. You know, it's one thing when you've been in a niche for a while and you know, reputations of organizations, you know, reputations.

But when you're newer, how do you determine, you know, hey, what are some key identifiers I'm going to look for when taking a new search or looking for a new partnership?

Very cool. Super helpful. Have you ever kind of said, hey, I've done everything I could, try to leave it the best way you can, and then after a period of time, come back to work with them again? Definitely.

Anything else we have not talked about that you think might be helpful for the good of our listeners?

That's awesome. And thank you so much for joining us, sharing some of your wisdom. Really appreciate your time and energy here. Thank you so much, Steph. It's always so great to chat with you.

Hi, this is Stephanie Moss. Today, I want to talk to you about resignations. Recently, I was talking with one of my candidates. And she sent me a fictitious copy of her resignation letter. She was obviously very unhappy in her current situation. And although the letter was quite funny, it was obviously fake.

We had a good laugh over it and then transitioned talking about how important, even though she was very disgruntled, how important it was to still leave on the right note. It got me thinking and reminded me how important it is to make sure that when you do resign, you do it in a very clean manner.

professional way and make sure you never earn a bridge you never know who you're going to interview with next or you're going to end up working for next so it's very important that you leave on the right note and do things the right way Anytime you have a resignation, let's face it, it's a breakup. You're leaving them.

You're leaving them.

Even if you have good reason, it's going to hurt just like any breakup does, even if the timing is right. So here's a couple of thoughts and reminders to make sure that you have a good, clean resignation, a good, clean breakup. First of all, make sure you put it in writing. That's always important. Have a letter for you, your immediate boss, and somebody in HR.

Another good reminder is keep it simple. A resignation is not the time to go into all the reasons why you left, why you are unhappy. Chances are you really weren't unhappy, but a better opportunity came along. So with the resignation at that time, just keep it simple. Hey, another opportunity has come across my plate that's going to be better for me and my family.
