WHAT OUR PARTNERS SAY
“I’ve worked closely with Bobby Weiss for a very long time. Bobby is a talented recruiter, but it’s his inside-view at a law firm that sets him apart from others. He has a better appreciation for law firm strategy and he understands the importance of all the things that happen post-hire. He isn’t just familiar with law firm jargon, he understands what different practices mean to a law firm and how they relate to one another. It’s like having your recruiter with law firm consultant-type experience.”
