About us
Recruiters who think like rainmakers.
Our story
Built for the way legal careers actually move.
We started Recruiting Rainmakers because too many attorneys were being treated like inventory. Resumes were sent without permission and moves were pushed without honest advice.
We do it differently. Every search is run by an experienced recruiter who knows the practice area, the firms and the people making hiring decisions.
Whether you are growing a practice group, hiring your first general counsel or exploring your own next step, we act as a trusted advisor first and a recruiter second.
What we stand for
Candor
We tell attorneys and firms what the market really thinks, even when it is not what they hoped to hear.
Discretion
Your name never reaches a firm without your explicit approval. Confidentiality is the foundation of everything we do.
Depth over volume
We take on fewer searches so each one gets senior attention from start to signed offer.
Long-term partnership
Many of our relationships span entire careers, from first lateral move to general counsel.
