ASSOCIATES
Like many associates, you have probably considered making a career move – particularly around 3 a.m. when working an all-nighter! What you may not have considered is how to best explore your career options in a confidential, professional and strategic manner. Information is key, as is working with the best recruiters in the business as your representatives. By working with the lawyers at RainMaker Group, we will help to develop a strategic plan for your job search, and/or to guide you in career planning in general. Whether you utilize our team members to assist you in exploring ongoing opportunities in the marketplace either in private practice or an in-house environment, or to pursue a specific position advertised by RainMaker, the level of personal attention and dedication we apply to your search is the same. Some candidates may, in fact, find that one path may lead them to follow an unexpected route. For example, you may initially approach us on a specific job opening, but once we further evaluate what you are looking for in a career move, we may find that there are more available options that would better match your professional goals.
Greener Pastures
We have extensive experience in placing numerous associates at various firms across the province and Canada, as well as the United States, United Kingdom and Caribbean; and we maintain contact with those we have placed. As a result, we are in the unique position of being equipped to help answer the driving question many of you have – is there a greener pasture? In helping you answer this question, we ensure that your professional and personal goals guide our analysis of whether, for you, the grass would be greener elsewhere. We take the time to understand exactly where you want your career to be and what is important to you. We can assist you in assessing whether you are currently at the best place for you or, alternatively, whether you should consider a move in order to successfully achieve your personal and professional goals.
No Pressure
Once you have made contact with us, we place no pressure on you to immediately consider a move. In fact, it is better to contact us well before you are at your wit’s end! After a mutual decision is reached to work together, based on an honest and comfortable rapport, we use a personal approach to develop a strategic plan for your job search. When you are ready, we will put our plan into action in a professional and discrete manner. At no time in the process is there any cost to you for our services.
