PARTNERS
Making a change can give you the single most important feature you want in terms of career advancement – control of your future. Taking control of your career is possible, and we are in the position to provide you with the proper information and discrete exposure you need. RainMaker Group’s reputation and track record over the last several years in the legal recruitment business is based on our commitment to performing your search confidentially, diligently and ethically.
Our legal community has recognized that partners should utilize a professional recruiter in finding a new place to hang their hat – hiring organizations prefer a facilitator and partners prefer a confidential intermediary with exceptional market knowledge. Our approach is delicate and discrete, since it is crucial that the partner maintain a low profile for the duration of the search process. We have been particularly effective in successfully placing partner level candidates because of our sensitive, strategic and professional approach to the process.
While we recognize that many of you, as partners, have close ties to fellow members of the Bar, we believe that we can better facilitate the search process and broaden the scope of your search. There are a number of primary benefits to using us as your intermediary. Through our extensive group of contacts, we are in a position to expand your networking circle while maintaining your complete confidentiality. Our solid reputation with our clients is rooted in their knowledge of our diligent screening process and the time we take to learn about our candidates. This reputation has served us well, and you will benefit from our clients’ willingness to seriously consider and pursue the candidates we present to them.
We are also in the rare position to highlight your qualifications and achievements in a direct and bold manner, as well as ask and answer on your behalf those questions that may be difficult and uncomfortable in an interview setting. One of our strongest areas of expertise lies in this ability to effectively market an individual. When it comes to a partner search, the process generally commands a significant amount of time, effort and research. We are here to enable you to continue concentrating on your growing practice while we focus on your search and provide you with the critical information you need. Our model of career planning is characterized by a disciplined, interactive process that assesses the potential of the individual and ensures positive integration and on-going professional development.
If a partner decides to seek out a greener pasture, he or she needs to truly understand the methods we employ in the identification of opportunities, and be an active participant in the strategic plan we develop. Partner-level candidates require a significant amount of information about prospective law firms and companies, and expect us, rightfully so, to inform them of all existing opportunities which would maximize both their short and long-term economic position.
We insist that working together is a two-way relationship, requiring open communication, honesty and clearly defined expectations of one another. This is of particular importance since an enormous amount of time, effort and research is expended in a partner search. Our approach is to ensure that, with your input, we find the firm or company that best matches your personal and professional interests and goals. By working closely with us, you will gain a better understanding of your market value, as well as having greater negotiation leverage.
When a partner makes a decision to move, the transition is complicated and often requires a concerted effort to address all the issues that you want to resolve in making the move. RainMaker Group is committed to facilitating the best possible deal for both parties, with a view to provide you with the right environment wherein your long-term professional goals can ultimately be achieved.
