Sandy demonstrated early on what set him apart from the rest. Not only does he have an exceptional sense of the market, and possesses long-term relationships with a wide circle of top decision-makers, but he does what many recruiters fail to do- he listens. Sandy quickly grasped what it was that I was really looking for and what type of opportunity would fit both my short-term and long-term objectives. His analysis of my practice and the law firms offering the most compelling opportunities was dead-on. He never tried to push me to law firms that clearly made no sense - or waste my time on non-starters.

Even before I had decided to move, he provided me with valuable information. He took the time to get to know me - my career game-plan, the type of people I wanted to practice with, my financial goals, the ancillary practice areas I needed for support, the over-all culture, team-work environment and of major importance - the optimum platform that would allow me to continue the growth of my practice - without being micro-managed. The diligence he brought to my search was amazing. He takes his job very, very seriously.

Sandy provided insightful counsel on the pros and cons of each situation. He provided guidance on compensation issues, was a most useful go-between and excellent sounding board. Confidentiality was never compromised. He did a superb job in working at the top levels and facilitating meetings with chairmen, department heads, managing partners and many others.

Four offers later - all with stellar firms, I am extremely pleased with the job Sandy did on my behalf. I cannot recommend this recruiter higher to any partner who wishes to learn more about the job market - or who is thinking of moving his or her practice. Esquire, Inc. was hands down the top partner placement firm for helping me meet my recent goals!
