6 Reasons to Work with a Legal Recruiter if You’re a Candidate

Job hunting can be a tedious process – and often overwhelming. If you’ve been curious about working with a recruiter, there are many reasons why you should consider connecting with one. Especially in the legal field, it’s all about connections and making a great first impression. When you work with Ave Staffing, we’ll make sure to connect you with the best opportunities for you and meet your career goals.

Still curious about working with a legal recruiter? Here are our top reasons to work with a recruiter if you’re a candidate:

• Exclusive access to job opportunities. Some companies/firms only use legal staffing agencies (such as Ave Staffing) for their recruiting. So although you may be searching certain employer career pages for job openings, there may be unlisted ones that a recruiter could match you with. Plus – the best recruiters truly care about building and nurturing relationships. We have clients and candidates that have been in our network for years because we genuinely believe in helping each other grow. 

• Be connected with the actual hiring manager. Recruiters work directly with hiring managers at companies – so if there’s going to be anyone that connects you with them, it’s a recruiter. And most importantly – when you apply for a job with a recruiter, your resume will go directly to the hiring manager. 

• Basically, free job searching support. A recruiter does not charge a candidate for their service. In fact, clients (or the employers) are the ones who pay for the staffing service of recruiters. Many law firms and companies prefer to use recruiters as a liaison as opposed to hiring directly because they are better equipped in screening and finding better matches. So do not hesitate to reach out to one to get the assistance you need! 

• Be better prepared in all aspects. Stress and uncertainty are all common things we feel when we’re job searching on our own. When you work with a recruiter, you’ll have someone that will help find areas for improvement in your resume, prepare for interviews, and career coaching. 

• Recruiters will do the negotiating for you. Staffing specialists know how much you’re worth – and will never low-ball you on your experience. Because of this, you’ll get the compensation you deserve.

• Search discreetly and passively. Maybe you aren’t in the market for a new job yet – but a recruiter will pass along opportunities to you that may be worth considering!
