Don’t waste your time with other recruiters, especially ones from out of town. Elina truly knows the market and can find a needle in a haystack. Wish I had met her earlier. Would have saved so much time and frustration. She found the perfect place for me when others couldn’t.

Elina is fantastic. She has a unique ability to connect the right lawyers with the right firms, not only from a technical expertise perspective, but also in terms of finding the right personal and cultural fit. I have dealt with a number of recruiters in the course of my career, for personal searches and as part of firm hiring teams, and she was by far the best in terms of understanding my needs and goals and identifying firms that represented the best opportunities — both for me and for the firm. I recommend her highly.
